Sir Henry Edward Bolte, GCMG 6 March 1990 COUNCIL Tuesday, 6 March 1990 The PRESIDENT (the Hon. A. J. Hunt) took the chair at 3.3 p.m. and read the prayer. DEATH OF THE HONOURABLE SIR HENRY EDWARD BOLTE, GCMG The Hon. E. H. WALKER (Minister for the Arts)-I move: That this House expresses its sincere sorrow at the death, on 4 January 1990, of the Honourable Sir Henry Edward Bolte, GCMG, and places on record its acknowledgment of the valuable services rendered by him to the Parliament and the people of Victoria as member of the Legislative Assembly for the electoral district of Hampden from 1947 to 1972, and as Premier and Treasurer from 1955 to 1972, Minister of Water Supply and Minister of Mines from 1948 to 1950, Minister of Conservation from 1949 to 1950 and from 1955 to 1961, Commissioner of Crown Lands and Survey and Minister of Soldier Settlement in 1955, Minister of Mines and Minister of Water Supply in 1964, and Minister of State Development in 1964. Shortly after Sir Henry's death, the Premier was accurate when he said that Sir Henry Bolte had placed an indelible stamp on Victorian politics-no-one would disagree with that. The enduring nature of Sir Henry's contribution was evident at his death in January by the sad sense of loss experienced by so many Victorians. Despite his having been retired from public life for approximately eighteen years, there was a real sense that Victorians knew and respected Sir Henry. Such a response is understandable as all Victorians-supporters and opponents alike, and he would not have had it otherwise-recognise the commitment that Sir Henry had to the development of Victoria. He took over as Premier in a period of great political instability. I have no doubt that other honourable members-particularly those opposite-will detail their memories of that turbulent era in the mid-1950s. Despite the benefits to some from the wool boom early in that decade, most Victorians were still experiencing rather tough times. Sir Henry turned those problems into opportunities. Through his own leadership and political nous he ushered in a period of significant political stability. Sir Henry recognised the need to develop Victoria, and as Premier and Treasurer he proceeded in a single-minded way to do just that. He was tireless in his efforts to promote Melbourne and Victoria to the rest of Australia; indeed, he was one of the first Premiers to begin strongly selling Victoria to the rest of the world. His period as Premier was marked by significant development in Victoria's resources. His enthusiasm for development had its genesis in his success in developing his own property at Meredith, which I had the pleasure of visiting when I was Minister for Agriculture and Rural Affairs. Sir Henry was a good farmer. I was fascinated when he gave me a lecture on the fact that one ought not bale hay, and that it was a wasted effort. That was new to me since I do not have a significant farming background. We went into the details of his theory and, in the end, he convinced me that farmers tended to bale hay to give themselves something to do. Many commentators have made much of Sir Henry's contribution to the economic development of Victoria; but other contributions should be acknowledged. As the Minister for the Arts and Minister responsible for Post-Secondary Education I particularly say that because, during his time as Premier, Sir Henry saw the establishment of two new universities-Monash and La Trobe; not a bad record for a Session 1990-1 2 COUNCIL 6 March 1990 Death ofHon.

  • An Historical Analysis of the Contribution of Two Women's
    They did what they were asked to do: An historical analysis of the contribution of two women’s religious institutes within the educational and social development of the city of Ballarat, with particular reference to the period 1950-1980. Submitted by Heather O’Connor, T.P.T.C, B. Arts, M.Ed Studies. A thesis submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of PhD. School of Arts and Social Sciences (NSW) Faculty of Arts and Sciences Australian Catholic University November, 2010 Statement of sources This thesis contains no material published elsewhere or extracted in whole or in part from a thesis by which I have qualified for or been awarded another degree or diploma. No other person’s work has been used without due acknowledgment in the main text of the thesis. This thesis has not been submitted for the award of any degree or diploma in any other tertiary institution. All research procedures in the thesis received the approval of the relevant Ethics/Safety Committees. i ABSTRACT This thesis covers the period 1950-1980, chosen for the significance of two major events which affected the apostolic lives of the women religious under study: the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), and the progressive introduction of state aid to Catholic schools, culminating in the policies of the Whitlam government (1972-1975) which entrenched bi- partisan political commitment to funding non-government schools. It also represents the period during which governments of all persuasions became more involved in the operations of non-government agencies, which directly impacted on services provided by the churches and the women religious under study, not least by imposing strict conditions of accountability for funding.

  • Political Factors in the Rebuilding of Mass Transit: an Investigation of Failure in Melbourne Since 1970 Through Comparisons with Perth and Vancouver
    Political factors in the rebuilding of mass transit: an investigation of failure in Melbourne since 1970 through comparisons with Perth and Vancouver Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy John Stone Institute for Social Research Swinburne University of Technology Hawthorn, Victoria, 3122 Australia May 2008 Declaration This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma, and to the best of my knowledge contains no material previously published or written by any other person except where due reference is given in the text. The text has been editted by David Hudson of the Swinburne Institute for Social Research. This editting has addressed only style and grammar and not the substantive content. John Stone May 2008 This copy is printed on acid-free paper. ii Abstract The starting point for this thesis is the observation that per capita patronage on Melbourne's transit system declined rapidly after 1950 and has remained largely static since 1980. The aim is to understand why this was the case. Using theoretical and empirical work to understand competing transport policy prescriptions and practice in western cities, it is clear that Melbourne’s transit performance is disappointing given city’s extensive rail and tram systems, and is not explained by the physical character of the urban region or by the absence of knowledge of alternative policies. The broad hypothesis in this research is that Melbourne’s transit performance is the result of political contention over transport policies since 1970. To develop an analysis of this political contention, a conceptual model of the processes of ‘challenge and resistance’ surrounding contention over urban transport policy was developed.
