Opening of Session-Election of Speaker-28 October, 1981 29 Opening of Session-Election of Speaker-28 October, 1981 29 Wednesday, 28 October, 1981 FIRST SESSION OF THE FORTY-SEVENTH PARLIAMENT The House met at 2.15 p.m., pursuant to the proclamation of His Excellency the Governor. The Clerk read the proclamation. The Clerk announced that he had received a list, certified by His Excellency the Governor, of the names of the members to serve in this Parliament, together with the writs on which they had been returned; with His Excellency's certification that the writs had been returned prior to the day by which they were by law returnable. OPENING OF SESSION The Usher of the Black Rod, being admitted, delivered a message from the Commissioners requesting the immediate attendance of this House in the Legislative Council Chamber to hear the Commission for the opening of Parliament read. The House went, and members having returned, OATH OR AFFIIWATION OF ALLEGIANCE The Clerk informed the House that His Excellency the Governor had issued a Commission authorizing the Hon. N. K. Wran, the Hon. L. J. Ferguson and the Hon. P. F. Cox to administer the oath or affirmation of allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen required by law to be taken or made by members of the Assembly. The Clerk read the Commission. MEMBERS WORN All members, with the exception of Mr Jones, Mr O'Connell and Mr O'Neill, took and subscribed the oath or affirmation, and signed the roll. ELECTION OF SPEAKER Mr PETERSEN (Illawarra) [3.2]: Mr Clerk, I move: That Lawrence Borthwick Kelly do take the chair of this House as Spder. 30 ASSEMBLY-Election of Speaker This is the third time that I have had the honour of proposing the honourable member for Commal for the high office of Speaker. In 1976 I seconded the motion moved by the honourable member for Balrnain. In 1978 I moved a motion similar to the one I have moved today. On that occasion I said that I looked forward to being a member of the Forty-seventh Parliament, when another member would again nominate the honourable member for Corrimal for the Speakership. As a representative of a neigh- bouring electorate and a political and personal friend for twenty-four years, I am flattered that rather than call upon another member to nominate him, he has requested me to do so. Since his election to Parliament in 1968 the honourable member for Corrimal has been an avid student of the workings of Parliament. In the Forty-fourth Parlia- ment he became a member of the Standing Orders Committee-an experience that stood him in good stead when he was elected Speaker of the Forty-fifth Parliament. In 1976 I said that if there was one reason for preferring him to a candidate of the coalition parties, it was his attachment to democracy as a form of govern- ment. At that time the Labor Party had a majority of only one in the Legislative Assembly. Labor's commitment to the principles of democracy were fully tested by the Opposition, particularly when it is considered that Labor had a minority of one in the grossly undemocratic, anachronistic Legislative Council. It was indicative of the man's stature in office that I could say in 1978 that the honourable member for Corrimal had not disappointed us in our expectations of him as Mr speaker-demonstrated by the fact that he was unopposed in caucus when nominated for the position. In 1978 the Labor Government had a majority of twenty-seven in the Legis- lative Assembly and a majority of three in the partially democratically elected Legis- lative Council. I must say, frankly, that in the past three years with those numbers life became much more joyous, with Mr Speaker Kelly in full control of the House. The successful implementation of the Government's legislative programme was in no small part due to the way in which though allowing the opposition the full rights to speak and criticize, Mr Speaker Kelly made it his duty to ensure that the progressive policies of the Labor Government were carried through. As part of his duties in the office of Speaker the honourable member for Corrimal has been chairman of two important committees of Parliament-the Building Committee and the House Com- mittee. His accountancy experience was extremely valuable in overcoming difficulties experienced in moving to our present, much more adequate quarters than existed in the old building, which lacked both convenience and architectural merit. The new building will be completed during this term of Parliament. The fact that the changes have been made with a minimum of disruption and with a maximum of concern for the needs of members is due undoubtedly to his administrative competence, which I am glad to recognize. Additionally, Mr Speaker Kelly displayed a concern for the rights of the staff, which is a credit to his Labor principles. However, important though that administrative competence may be, it is not only for that ability that he will be remembered. The term of the honourable member for Corrimal as Speaker will be remem- bered as one in which a Labor Government carried through reformist programmes that had the undoubted support of a majority of the people of New South Wales. That support was reilected again in the results of the recent elections. The fact that the Labor Party's majority increased to thirty-nine in the Legislative Assembly and to four in the Legislative Council is due basically to the satisfaction that the electorate in general displays towards the New South Wales Labor Government. An integral part of that Gover~lmentis the office of Speaker. The contributions made by Mr Speaker Election of Speaker-28 October, 1981 3 1 Kelly have increased public confidence in the role of government. I urge honourable members to vote unanimously to elect Lawrence Borthwick Kelly again as Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of New South Wales. Mr QUINN (Wentworthville) [3.9]: Mr Clerk, I second the motion. Honour- able members are aware that the honourable member for Corrimal has occupied the position of Speaker of this House during the terms of the past two Parliaments. He has carried out his duties with dignity and has been a true guardian of the rights and privi- leges of all members of this House, irrespective of the side of the House upon which they may sit. He is a strong disciplinarian and has maintained order on difficult occa- sions when a lesser man may have failed. He has used Standing Order 387 and Standing Order 392 only as a last resort, and then only after frequent warnings. Members of the Opposition may complain that those orders are applied only to Opposition members. I, too, thought that when I occupied a seat on the Opposition benches under the Speakerships of the late Sir Kevin Ellis and the present honourable member for North- cott. The true position is that Government supporters, having been repeatedly called to order, either comply with Mr Speaker's directions or quietly leave the Chamber. The honourable member for Corrimal has demonstrated his ability to exert control over all members of the House, whether they be the Premier, Ministers, party lenders or private members. His rulings have been fair and consistent. He has proved himself to be a worthy custodian of the rights and privileges of all members. He is the choice of the Labor Party. I commend the motion to the House. Mr KELLY (Corrimal) [3.10]: I accept the nomination and submit myself to the will and pleasure of the House. Mr DOWD (Lane Cove), Leader of the Opposition [3.10]: It gives me great pleasure on behalf of the Opposition to state that it does not oppose the nomination of Lawrence Borthwick Kelly, the former Speaker of the House, for re-election to this high office. Indeed, the Opposition would contemplate no one else from the Govern- ment benches to hold that post. No other Speaker, I might say, will have had an Opposition so willing to respect the proceedings of the House, especially decisions from the Chair. Parliament would be a dull place indeed without the glimpses of democracy that set us apart from the rest of the world. Though it seems to Opposition members that there have been times when the Speaker's rulings have been somewhat more rigorous than we would have liked, I note that I have suffered his censure on four occasions only. I think that is a tribute to the former Speaker's patience rather than to my conduct. I have served in this Parliament under only two Speakers, and as I understand that the other person who served as Speaker in my time in this House is not available for the office, I say only that I have learned much about the office of Speaker as I have observed Lawrence Borthwick Kelly carrying out his duties. In making these remarks I wish to thank the honourable member for Corrimal for the assistance he has given to me and for the courtesy he extended to my colleagues and staff inside and outside the House prior to 19th September and since that time, in what sometimes have been trying days. I look forward to maintaining an excellent working relationship with the new Speaker. Mr PUNCH (Gloucester) , Leader of the Country Party [3.12]: The Country Party does not oppose the appointment of Lawrence Borthwick ICelly as Speaker. I trust that the impartiality he has shown will continue to be demonstrated, particularly in regard to question time and the allocation of questions.

  • Legislative Assembly
    90 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Wednesday 30 April 2003 ______ Mr Speaker (The Hon. John Joseph Aquilina) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. Mr Speaker offered the Prayer. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE Inaugural Speeches Motion by Mr Scully agreed to: That the business of the House be interrupted to permit the honourable member for Rockdale to make his inaugural speech forthwith. INAUGURAL SPEECHES Mr SARTOR (Rockdale—Minister for Energy and Utilities, Minister for Science and Medical Research, Minister Assisting the Minister for Health (Cancer), and Minister Assisting the Premier on the Arts) [10.00 a.m.] (Inaugural Speech): It is an honour to rise as an elected member of this Parliament and I am particularly proud to have been elected the member for Rockdale. It is an electorate as ethnically diverse as Australia itself, with the majority of its residents coming from non-English speaking backgrounds, the major groups being Arabic, Greek, Macedonian and Chinese. Whilst the constituency is a culturally diverse community there are issues of common concern to the people of my electorate, the major issues being planning and development and crime relating to car hoons, especially in Brighton-Le-Sands. Other issues of concern to the constituency include the protection and preservation of open space, the care of the Botany Bay foreshore, traffic, public transport and, I might add, the performance of Rockdale council. My priority as the local member will be to work as hard as I can to address these concerns. The seat of Rockdale was first established in 1927. It ceased to exist due to boundary changes in the 1930s but was reborn in 1941, and has not looked back since.

I give consent to this copy of my thesis, when deposited in the University Library, being made available for loan and photocopying subject to the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968. (Signed) ________________________ Mark Sargent i Acknowledgements I liken the completion of this work to the intellectual equivalent of winning the Tour de France. Although after a long and arduous journey, of many stages, only one rider has the honour of wearing the maillot jaune down the Champs Élysées, behind that rider is an entire team which in some significant respects shares in the satisfaction of the achievement. So also, I hope, shall be the case in respect of this thesis, and, as such I wish to acknowledge the indispensible contributions of the team that has supported me. To my supervisors Scott Holmes, John Jenkins, Ron Plotnikoff and David Lubans, I firstly express my gratitude for your assistance and guidance. I also express my admiration of your perseverance and ability to bring focus to my often tangential meanderings. I also thank Kim Colyvas for his invaluable contribution to the task of transforming a vast, and vastly disorganised, data set into a consistent and comprehensible form that allowed its meaningful analysis.

  • The Theory of Successful Criminal Entrepreneurs
    THE THEORY OF SUCCESSFUL CRIMINAL ENTREPRENEURS Khaled Alnkhailan BA Criminology and Criminal Justice MA Sociology Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Law Queensland University of Technology 2017 Keywords Criminal entrepreneurs, organised crime, non-hierarchical structured organised crime, modus essendi, modus operandi, modus vivendi, leadership, vision, brokerage, bribery, blackmail, mentors, role models, human capital, the theory of successful criminal entrepreneurs. The theory of successful criminal entrepreneurs i ABSTRACT As typological category, criminal entrepreneurs have a different modus operandi from most traditional criminals. This study develops a theory of successful criminal entrepreneurs, operating in non-hierarchically structured organised crime. Successful criminal entrepreneurs cannot be described through classic criminological theories such as low self-control theory. The theory of successful criminal entrepreneurs provides an understanding of the leadership of criminal entrepreneurs which includes vision, leadership style and orientation, in addition to their identity. The theory also provides an understanding of the operational approaches used by successful criminal entrepreneurs in addition to the use of their social networks. The theory of successful criminal entrepreneurs argues that successful criminal entrepreneurs start their careers with a clearly defined vision. Criminal entrepreneurs then lead people towards their vision with a charismatic leadership

During the period I have worked on this thesis, I have been an employee of the Criminal Justice Branch (later Criminal Law Branch) of the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department. My supervisors have allowed me several periods of extended leave, and my colleagues have carried a considerable burden of additional work in covering for my absences. The professionalism, enthusiasm, thoughtfulness and intelligence of these colleagues has been a constant source of inspiration and insight. They have given me an incredible opportunity to work at the heart of federal criminal justice policy for the better part of a decade, and I have learned a lot from all of them. Among those to whom my thanks are due are Sarah Chidgey, Geoff Dabb, Andrew Egan, Maggie Jackson, Laurel Johnson, Geoff McDonald, Ricky Nolan, Suesan Sellick, Geoff Skillen and Anastasia Tearne. I should add that neither these officers, nor anyone else in the Attorney-General’s Department, saw or vetted any part of this thesis prior to submission, and nor did I discuss the specific content with them.
