  • Ii: Mary Alice Evatt, Modern Art and the National Art Gallery of New South Wales
    Cultivating the Arts Page 394 CHAPTER 9 - WAGING WAR ON THE ESTABLISHMENT? II: MARY ALICE EVATT, MODERN ART AND THE NATIONAL ART GALLERY OF NEW SOUTH WALES The basic details concerning Mary Alice Evatt's patronage of modern art have been documented. While she was the first woman appointed as a member of the board of trustees of the National Art Gallery of New South Wales, the rest of her story does not immediately suggest continuity between her cultural interests and those of women who displayed neither modernist nor radical inclinations; who, for example, manned charity- style committees in the name of music or the theatre. The wife of the prominent judge and Labor politician, Bert Evatt, Mary Alice studied at the modernist Sydney Crowley-Fizelle and Melbourne Bell-Shore schools during the 1930s. Later, she studied in Paris under Andre Lhote. Her husband shared her interest in art, particularly modern art, and opened the first exhibition of the Contemporary Art Society in Melbourne 1939, and an exhibition in Sydney in the same year. His brother, Clive Evatt, as the New South Wales Minister for Education, appointed Mary Alice to the Board of Trustees in 1943. As a trustee she played a role in the selection of Dobell's portrait of Joshua Smith for the 1943 Archibald Prize. Two stories thus merge to obscure further analysis of Mary Alice Evatt's contribution to the artistic life of the two cities: the artistic confrontation between modernist and anti- modernist forces; and the political career of her husband, particularly knowledge of his later role as leader of the Labor opposition to Robert Menzies' Liberal Party.

  • Australian Labor Party, New South Wales Branch Unity Conference, 26–27 August 1939
    CHAPTER 19 Australian Labor Party, New South Wales Branch Unity Conference, 26–27 August 1939 Report in The Sydney Morning Herald, 28 August 1939 After the fiasco of the 1938 election the split between Lang’s party and the Industrialists intensified. MA Davidson (Cobar) and EM Horsington (Sturt) rejoined the Heffron party that they had been associated with before the 1938 election. In March 1939 Clive Evatt won Hurstville for Industrial Labor from the UAP in a by‐election, and in April Clarrie Martin did the same in Waverley. Both contests saw Lang’s party easily out‐ voted. In June, F Burke (Newtown) defected from Lang to Heffron. Given what appeared to be the growing electoral impotence of Lang, the Federal Executive acceded to the request of the Heffron group and decided to intervene in the NSW Labor Party. The Unity Conference of August, convened and controlled by the Federal Executive, was the result. With the return of delegates from most of the disaffected unions, and the loss of control by the Inner Group, the result was never in doubt. Clearly, the 1927 rules of the party, and the issue of whether Caucus or Conference should elect the Leader, were central to debate. Although the Caucus was once again in control of its own destiny and could elect and dismiss its leader, there was still chaos in the extra‐ parliamentary machine. Federal intervention was needed in 1940 to get rid of the Communist‐dominated Hughes‐Evans State Executive, while Lang once more tried to go his own way. As the 1941 State election app‐ roached there were three groups claiming to represent the true Labor Party in NSW.

  • The Administration of the Juvenile Correction System Reverted to the Institutional Practices More Characteristic of the Middle of the Nineteenth Century
    1 . ‘UNENLIGHTENED EFFICIENCY’: THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE JUVENILE CORRECTION SYSTEM IN NEW SOUTH WALES 1905-1988 Thesis for Doctorate of Philosophy University of Sydney Peter Quinn, January, 2004 2 Certification I certify that this work has not been submitted for a degree to any other university or institution and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, contains no material previously published or written by any other person, except where due reference has been made in the text. Peter Quinn January, 2004. 3 ABSTRACT This work traces the history of the juvenile correction system in twentieth century New South Wales, focusing on the evolution of major reforms aimed at curbing delinquency. The study begins in 1905 with the Neglected Children and Juvenile Offenders Act. It concludes in 1988, when another set of significant reforms, designed to deal with perceived inadequacies of the established system, commenced. The main focus of the thesis is the government system of corrections. Although there was an active non - government correction system, this sector was increasingly absorbed by the larger public sphere. The principal argument is that, although there were sporadic periods during which changes to the system were made, its progress through most of the twentieth century was characterised by an underlying attitude which regarded the boys and girls it dealt with, particularly those committed to institutions, as belonging to an inferior, delinquent class. As such, they were treated as the progeny of a criminal class destined for the most part to remain part of that class. This idea of a delinquent class coloured all aspects of the way juveniles were treated, specifically lack of resources, the dominance of economic considerations over the welfare of children, excessive regimentation, harsh discipline and illegal punishments.

  • The Master Builders Association of Nsw 1946 - 1960
    CHAPTER 7 THE MASTER BUILDERS ASSOCIATION OF NSW 1946 - 1960 GROWTH, PROSPERITY AND A CHANGE IN STRUCTURE Introduction The period from 1946-1960 was one of economic boom. A more affluent society created greater demand for building. The building industry faced labour shortages that were eased by post-war immigration involving assisted British and European migrants, which by June 1959 had numbered 360,156 and 341,685 respectively.1 The creation of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric and Irrigation Scheme in 1949 boosted the federal government’s immigration program by attracting large numbers of engineers and skilled tradesmen from overseas. Initially there was as a scarcity of building materials which was exacerbated by restrictive legislation designed to monitor the distribution of building materials. In seeking to meet the need for public housing, the Housing Commission of NSW virtually confiscated available labour and materials to the detriment of the private housing sector. Legislation designed to assist returned soldiers in obtaining housing created hardship for property owners and property investors. In the early 1950s building controls were eased by the NSW government. There were external changes that impacted on the MBA. The increase in the size of building as well as State investment in power stations attracted larger firms from overseas and changed the character of the building industry. New construction methods also created a need for more complex contractual relationships and a need for more sophisticated management of industrial relations. While the functions of the MBA/NSW remained unchanged, these changes were to impact on the structure of the association. Further, cracks appeared in the longstanding ‘internal equilibrium’ of the MBA/NSW, particularly immediately following the end of the Second World War.

  • Penelope Seidler AM Doctor of Architecture (Honoris Causa) Thursday, 22 April 2021 – 1.00Pm
    Citation for Penelope Seidler AM Doctor of Architecture (honoris causa) Thursday, 22 April 2021 – 1.00pm Vice-Chancellor, it gives me great pleasure to present Penelope Seidler AM to you for admission to the degree of Doctor of Architecture (honoris causa) in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the field of architecture, the arts and the wider community. Penelope grew up in Wahroonga, New South Wales and is the daughter of the Honourable Clive Evatt QC, a prominent barrister and politician. She completed a Bachelor of Architecture at the University of Sydney and was registered as an architect in 1964. That year, she joined one of Australia’s most influential architecture practices, Harry Seidler and Associates. As wife and business partner to the late Harry Seidler, Penelope has played a significant role in the operation of the practice while also defining herself as a key figure in the cultural sector. As well as being an architect, Penelope is a qualified accountant in charge of the financial management of the practice. She has held the position of Director of Harry Seidler and Associates since 1966 and is directly responsible for commissioning artists for projects. Since becoming an architect more than 50 years ago, Penelope’s ambition and passion have defined her role within the field of architecture and cemented her as a leader of art and architecture in Sydney and internationally. Together with her late husband Harry, Penelope pioneered the integration of modernist art and architecture in Australia. The works of her architectural practice have demonstrated how the principles of modern architecture and urbanism and the values of rational design and innovative engineering can come together with an extraordinary business acumen to create some of the most internationally significant buildings in Australia, including Australia Square.

  • Contested Borders and Education: the Streeckian Framework of Analysis
    CHAPTER ONE CONTESTED BORDERS AND EDUCATION: THE STREECKIAN FRAMEWORK OF ANALYSIS Introduction This thesis is concerned with how the non-profit, socialised, democratic realm of a society can survive and prosper in an advanced capitalist state. And how does this analysis illuminate the persistence of a socialised realm within the advanced capitalism of Australian society? The answer is encompassed by the framework of methodology, theory, and historical analysis employed in the inquiry. In particular, a multidisciplinary socio-economics approach is employed, strongly influenced by the work of Wolfgang Streeck. He has developed the most thorough and revealing analysis of the relationship between the hegemonic structure of advanced capitalism and the remaining non- marketized, socialised domains within the structure (see the Bibliography for the relevant works of Streeck consulted for this thesis). The broad context of the study is the social totality which incorporates an inclusive ecology which directs us to situate and constitute 'society', and indeed education, as part of a larger, more complex entity than that emanating only from capitalist structures. Moreover, the concept of the 'social totality' rests on the understanding that there was, and is, a non-capitalist component to the social totality with which capitalism interacts over time, and which engenders "...conflicting concepts and claims to justice"8. This largely revolves around conflict or compromise between private and collective institutions over control of the various borders of the social domain. This inquiry focuses on Public Education in NSW, Australia, and the observation that both capitalistic and socialistic social forces and tendencies have influenced the ends and means of its evolution.
