The Rotary Club of Kidman Park Inc From President Jenny Harris Cynthia Wynne spoke at our last Tuesday’s meeting. She told us of the Barwell Boys Scheme that happened in Australia from 1922- 1924. This was a South Australian Farm Apprentice Scheme which was devised by the then Premier of South Australia, Henry Barwell. It was introduced to replace in some way the 6000 SA men who died in World War 1. There were more than 1440 boys aged 15-18 years of age that came from the UK and were given assisted pas- sage in ships and sent to farms across the state. The boys were giv- en a variety of experiences depending on where they were sent. Cynthia Wynne The wages they earnt were sent to a trust account and their clothes etc. were paid from this. The promise of “the land of milk and honey” turned out to be more like “bloody hard work and no honey” for many of the boys. Some of the boys ended up liv- ing in poor conditions and worked long hours. Some boys finished their apprenticeship and made a good life here in Australia. Cynthia’s father was one of the Barwell boys. He went to Millicent and paid off his passage. It must have been a very difficult time for many of these boys, being such a long way from home and I am sure many would have been very home sick. Thank you to Warren for providing an excellent and overwhelming submission to continue the Rotary Bookmart within the City of Charles Sturt. I know we are in good hands with Warren at the helm and Stuart’s guidance on the sidelines. Family Time John Jackson had us talking about our holiday nightmares. He gave an example of when he was in Rome. He was busting to go to the toilet but he was not allowed to go to the toilet on board while the train was in the station. He made a quick break for it trying to find the toilets at the sta- tion. Having finally found one he had the unfortunate situation of some fellow taking an interest in him while he was at the urinal. John “froze.” Finally the fellow left and John was able to get the job done and then he made his back to the train with just 30 secs to go!! Thank You to Margaret, Alison, Tina, Ed, Kel and Tom for helping the Red Cross out with their Teddy Bear Picnic BBQ on Sunday. Remember if you want to take your grandchildren out to this function it goes from 10 -2pm at the Brocas located at 111 Woodville Road, St Clair.

  • SIR HENRY NEWMAN BARWELL PRG 562 Series List ______
    __________________________________________________________________________ SIR HENRY NEWMAN BARWELL PRG 562 Series List _________________________________________________________________________ Henry Newman Barwell (1877-1959) was educated at St. Peters College and the University of Adelaide from where he graduated in Law in 1898. In 1915 he entered the House of Assembly as the member for Stanley. When the Vaughan Labor ministry resigned in 1917 following the split over conscription, Barwell became attorney general and minister of industry in Peake's Liberal-National coalition government (1). After the death of Peake in 1920 Barwell took over as premier and immediately set about reforming the administration of the State public service. Among his most notable achievements were the overhaul of the State's railway system and the promotion the so- called 'Barwell Boys' immigration scheme, through which youths were brought to South Australia and indentured to farmers (2). However, he became the focus of much public controversy over his attempts to abolish the State arbitration system and ill-conceived statements about introducing coloured-labour into the Northern Territory. He fell afoul of the influential temperance lobby, while his appointment of the American W.A. Webb as Railway Commissioner caused some disquiet after it was revealed that railway contracts were being awarded to American firms. Following the defeat of his government at the elections of 1924, Barwell entered Federal politics as a Liberal senator where he proved 'an uncompromising defender of the rights of small States' (3). In 1928, his relations with the Prime Minister S.M. Bruce having soured, Barwell resigned to become South Australia's Agent-general in London where he stayed until 1940 (4).

  • Notes on Sources and References………………………………………………….……..Ii
    THE DE-COLONISATION OF THE AUSTRALIAN STATES by ANNE TWOMEY A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES APRIL 2006 2 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the status of the Queen in Australia in relation to the Australian States and the effect upon it of the enactment of the Australia Acts 1986. It uses hitherto confidential government documents to expose the true relationship between the United Kingdom, the Crown and the States and challenge prevailing assumptions. The thesis establishes that before 1986 the United Kingdom played a substantive, rather than a merely formal, role in the constitutional relationship between the States and the Crown. The ‘Queen of Australia’ was confined in her role to Commonwealth, not State, matters. The ‘Queen of the United Kingdom’ continued to perform constitutional functions with respect to the States, which were regarded as dependencies of the British Crown. This position changed with the enactment of the Australia Acts 1986 (Cth) and (UK). This thesis analyses the Australia Acts, assesses the validity of their provisions and contends that the Australia Act 1986 (UK) was necessary for legal and political reasons. The thesis concludes that the Australia Acts, in terminating the residual sovereignty of the Westminster Parliament with respect to Australia, transferred sovereignty collectively to the components of the federal parliamentary democratic system. Consistent with this view, it is contended that the effect of the Australia Acts was to establish a hybrid federal Crown of Australia under which the Queen’s Ministers for each constituent polity within the federation can advise her upon her constitutional functions with respect to that polity.
