  • 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.

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. Drawing on a series of oral history interviews with economic historians, we examine the nature of the tea room space, demonstrate its effects on research within universities, and analyse the causes and implications of its decline in recent decades.
