  • How the Cain and Burke Years Shaped Public Transport in Melbourne and Perth

    How the Cain and Burke Years Shaped Public Transport in Melbourne and Perth

    Contrasts in reform: how the Cain and Burke years shaped public transport in Melbourne and Perth Dr John Stone, GAMUT (Australasian Centre for Governance and Management of Urban Transport), University of Melbourne. [email protected] PO Box 4191, University of Melbourne, Victoria, 3052 Phone: +61 (0) 3 8344 6453 Fax: +61 (0) 3 8344 5532 Abstract Melbourne’s public transport system, despite its extensive train and tram lines, is facing major challenges. From a point of near-extinction in the late 1970s, Perth’s historically smaller public transport system is arguably now better placed to deal with growing environmental and economic pressures. The election of reformist governments in Victoria and WA in the early 1980s provided critical opportunities for public transport in both cities. This paper documents the striking differences in the behaviour of the politicians, bureaucrats and civic action groups engaged in contention over transport policy in the two cities during this period. These differences had a significant influence on the performance of public transport in Melbourne and Perth today, and point to changes that will be required to improve transport policy outcomes in Melbourne. 1 Introduction In 2009, public transport systems in Perth and Melbourne are on very different paths. In Perth, a centrally planned network has delivered consistent patronage growth for over a decade. More growth is expected from the new 72-km Mandurah line and its associated bus lines. In Melbourne, recent demographic shifts and petrol price rises have triggered transit demand that took the fractured management of the privatised system by surprise. Major new tracks, on or under the ground, are many years away.

  • Court 4 in the Supreme Court Re-Opens by Justice Frank Vincent

    Court 4 in the Supreme Court Re-Opens by Justice Frank Vincent

    Court 4 in the Supreme Court re-opens By Justice Frank Vincent, Court of Appeal, Supreme Court of Victoria, 7 April 2008 Thank you, Chief Justice, for the opportunity to contribute to this occasion. For a number of reasons, this court holds particular significance for me, and it is wonderful to see it so splendidly restored and adapted for use in a new century. My connection with this room began over half a century ago when, as a second- or third-year law student, I sat in the public gallery and watched the charismatic Frank Galbally, who was then at the height of his powers, successfully defend a policeman charged with the murder of his wife. Obviously attributing his success in some small part to devine intervention, immediately after the verdict, Galbally and his client walked down the street to St Francis Church to pray. Their piety was observed by a passing newspaper photographer who, by chance it seems, was in the vicinity and with his camera ready. It was in June 1964 at the age of 26, and a barrister for three years, that I first took my place at the Bar table here, appearing on behalf of the one of two men charged with murder. The trial judge, Monahan J, was a great criminal lawyer and judge. I am reasonably confident that he was even more terrified by my lack of experience than I was. A wily prosecutor named Bill Fazio leading a young Michael Kelly represented the Crown and the legendary Jack Lazarus appeared for the co- accused.

They es rve as an important counterpoint to the formal, silo-like structures of the modern organisation, encouraging social bonds and discussion across departmental lines. We address the role of one such institution – the university tea room – in Australia in the post-WWII decades.
