  • The Fairness Clause in South Australia
    ELECTORAL REGULATION RESEARCH NETWORK/DEMOCRATIC AUDIT OF AUSTRALIA JOINT WORKING PAPER SERIES THE FAIRNESS CLAUSE IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA Jenni Newton-Farrelly (Electoral Specialist, South Australian Parliament Research Library) WORKING PAPER NO. 2 (OCTOBER 2012) 1 South Australia’s fairness clause is unique in Australia, although similar requirements have been proposed in WA and also NSW.1 This research paper looks at why a fairness clause seemed necessary in South Australia, and why the parliament chose a fairness clause rather than a different mechanism. The paper shows that both of South Australia’s major parties had, from the 1960s, made numerous statements that the aim of a fair electoral system should be to allow a party to assume the government benches if it won the support of a majority of voters. When the fairness requirement was adopted in 1990 it was not a new proposal – a similar requirement had first been proposed in 1975. For all of the fourteen year period from the 1975 proposal to the 1989 select committee recommendation, a special redistribution criterion had been conceptualized as a remedy for bias caused by the overconcentration of one party’s support in a few safe seats. And for all of that time there was a generally-held assumption that if the bias was addressed then the new districts would generate an outcome at a subsequent election which would return a party to government if it had the support of a majority of voters. Only the 1990 HA select committee sounded a warning that other factors, such as the way that parties campaign, might interfere with the translation of votes into seats.

  • Ama in South Australia 1879-1979 the South Australian Branch of the Australian Medical Association
    AMA IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA 1879-1979 THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN BRANCH OF THE AUSTRALIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION A CENTENARY HISTORY 1979 THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN BRANCH OF THE AUSTRALIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION A CENTENARY HISTORY 1979 Published under authority of the South Australian Branch of the Australian Medical Association. National Library of Australia ISBN 0 9598715 9 4 Printed by Specialty Printers Pty. Ltd., Adelaide, South Australia. iv PREFACE Published to commemorate the Centenary of the South Australian Branch of the Australian Medical Association, the purpose of this book is to record the main events and leading personalities associated with the foundation and development of the Branch throughout its first hundred years. Although every effort has been made in its compilation to ensure accuracy while maintaining a broad perspective, any attempt to include detailed lists of the members or persons involved on councils or committees has been purposely avoided. Those men principally concerned with the events described and the institutions they represented have generally emerged in the narrative because of the importance of their contributions and in many instances have warranted more detailed attention. This applies especially in respect to the Royal Adelaide Hospital, its foundation and progress, and to the late Sir Henry Simpson Newland, who stood astride the greater part of this century like a colossus, whose influence in the affairs of the Association was unparalleled and whose deeds in fostering its development were incomparable. The interested reader is referred for further information on these two subjects to the excellent books by Mr. J. Estcourt Hughes, published in 1967 and 1972. It would have been impossible to separate the progressive development of the Branch from the contributions made by individual members of the profession to the organization of health services in South Australia since the Province was established in 1836.

  • SUMNER, Chris
    DON DUNSTAN FOUNDATION 1 DON DUNSTAN ORAL HISTORY PROJECT Chris SUMNER This is George Lewkowicz for the Don Dunstan History Project for the Don Dunstan History Project interviewing Mr Chris Sumner, who was a politician in the 1970s and a minister later on in the Bannon Governments. The date today is 11th June 2008 and the location of the interview is Chesser House in Grenfell Street, Floor 10. Chris, thanks very much for doing this interview for the Don Dunstan Foundation History Project. Can you just talk a bit about yourself, a brief bio and how you got interested in politics? Well, I was born in Melbourne but had a South Australian background and family. Spent a good bit of time in the country, went to Manoora Primary School, Nuriootpa High School, Adelaide High School, then to the University of Adelaide and did a law degree and an arts degree. Practised as a lawyer, went overseas a bit, went to the University for Foreigners at Perugia for eight months in 1974. Got involved in politics through university and contested the seat of Boothby in 1969, the federal election; the state seat of Torrens in 1973; and was then preselected on the sixth position on the Legislative Council ticket for the 1975 election, election 12th July 1975, which was the ‘railways’ election and the first election where there was full, universal suffrage for the Legislative Council. So I was elected on 12th July 1975, had four years on the back bench and when Don Dunstan resigned and the Corcoran Government came in I was made Attorney-General and some other portfolios, then had three years as Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council from ’79–82 and then eleven years with the Bannon and Arnold Governments until I retired – well, till we were defeated in the December 1993 election, ‘State Bank’ election; I retired in October 1994 and have since been working on the National Native Title Tribunal as a member and now Deputy President.
