Ken CoghiU) took the chair at 2.5 p.m. and read the prayer. TELEVISING OF PROCEEDINGS The SPEAKER-Order! I desire to advise the House that I have approved the filming by Channel ATV10 of today's proceedings during consideration of the condolence motions. The filming will take place under the usual guidelines. NEW MEMBER The SPEAKER announced that he had received a return to the writ Mr Acting Speaker had issued on 29 December 1989 for the election of a member to serve for the electoral district ofThomastown in the place ofMrs Elizabeth Susan Gleeson, deceased, by which it appeared that Mr Peter Batchelor had been duly elected for that electoral district. Mr Batchelor was introduced and affirmed. FILMING OF PROCEEDINGS The SPEAKER-Order! In order to have Library footage of proceedings of the House I have requested that the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs undertake filming during consideration of the condolence motions. The matter has been discussed with each of the three parties and I understand the parties are in agreement. However, for the filming to proceed, a resolution of the House is required. Mr ROPER (Minister for Planning and Environment)-By leave, I move: That Standing Orders Nos 28 and 29 relating to the admission of strangers be suspended for this day so far as may be necessary to permit the filming of certain proceedings of this House by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. The motion was agreed to. DEATH OF MRS ELIZABETH SUSAN GLEESON Mr CAIN (Premier)-I move: That this House expresses its sincere sorrow at the death of Mrs Elizabeth Susan Gleeson, and places on record its acknowledgment of the valuable services rendered by her to the Parliament and the people of Victoria as member of the Legislative Assembly for the electoral district of Thomastown from 1985 to 1989. The death of Beth Gleeson, as she was known to us, on 16 December last shocked and saddened all members of this House and many outside who knew her so well. Her death was close and, I suppose, in circumstances similar to the untimely death of Pauline Toner some twelve months earlier. Both had been among us; they appeared robust; and, within a few days, were gone from us.

  • Upholding the Australian Constitution Volume Nineteen
    Chapter Six The Politics of Federalism Ben Davies In 1967 Sir Robert Menzies published Central Power in the Australian Commonwealth. In this book he adopted the labels coined by Lord Bryce to describe the two forces which operate in a federation—the centripetal and the centrifugal. For those uneducated in physics, such as myself, centripetal means those forces which draw power towards the centre, or the Commonwealth, whilst centrifugal forces are those which draw power outwards towards the States. Menzies remarked that these forces are constantly competing against each other, and that the balance between them is never static.1 Not surprisingly, his view in 1967 was that the centripetal forces had well and truly predominated during the previous 66 years of Federation. Of course, he would not need long to reach the same conclusion were he to consider the same question now, 40 years later. Essentially there are three levels on which these two forces exert themselves. The first and most fundamental is the legal level, which describes the constitutional structures which determine the federal balance. On questions of federalism this Society has since its inception quite rightly concentrated most on this level of federalism, as it is at this level that the most profound changes have occurred. It is also the most influential level, as it sets the boundaries within which the other two levels can operate. The second level is what I would call the financial level, and this level concerns itself with the question of the relative financial powers of the States and Commonwealth. In particular, this level is characterised by the ever-increasing financial dominance of the Commonwealth relative to the States, and the “vertical fiscal imbalance” with which the States have had to contend for most of their existence since Federation.

  • Water Politics in Victoria: the Impact of Legislative Design, Policy
    Water Politics in Victoria The impact of legislative design, policy objectives and institutional constraints on rural water supply governance Benjamin David Rankin Thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Swinburne Institute for Social Research Faculty of Health, Arts and Design Swinburne University of Technology 2017 i Abstract This thesis explores rural water supply governance in Victoria from its beginnings in the efforts of legislators during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to shape social and economic outcomes by legislative design and maximise developmental objectives in accordance with social liberal perspectives on national development. The thesis is focused on examining the development of Victorian water governance through an institutional lens with an intention to explain how the origins of complex legislative and administrative structures later come to constrain the governance of a policy domain (water supply). Centrally, the argument is concentrated on how the institutional structure comprising rural water supply governance encouraged future water supply endeavours that reinforced the primary objective of irrigated development at the expense of alternate policy trajectories. The foundations of Victoria’s water legislation were initially formulated during the mid-1880s and into the 1890s under the leadership of Alfred Deakin, and again through the efforts of George Swinburne in the decade following federation. Both regarded the introduction of water resources legislation as fundamentally important to ongoing national development, reflecting late nineteenth century colonial perspectives of state initiated assistance to produce social and economic outcomes. The objectives incorporated primarily within the Irrigation Act (1886) and later Water Acts later become integral features of water governance in Victoria, exerting considerable influence over water supply decision making.

  • Court 4 in the Supreme Court Re-Opens by Justice Frank Vincent
    Court 4 in the Supreme Court re-opens By Justice Frank Vincent, Court of Appeal, Supreme Court of Victoria, 7 April 2008 Thank you, Chief Justice, for the opportunity to contribute to this occasion. For a number of reasons, this court holds particular significance for me, and it is wonderful to see it so splendidly restored and adapted for use in a new century. My connection with this room began over half a century ago when, as a second- or third-year law student, I sat in the public gallery and watched the charismatic Frank Galbally, who was then at the height of his powers, successfully defend a policeman charged with the murder of his wife. Obviously attributing his success in some small part to devine intervention, immediately after the verdict, Galbally and his client walked down the street to St Francis Church to pray. Their piety was observed by a passing newspaper photographer who, by chance it seems, was in the vicinity and with his camera ready. It was in June 1964 at the age of 26, and a barrister for three years, that I first took my place at the Bar table here, appearing on behalf of the one of two men charged with murder. The trial judge, Monahan J, was a great criminal lawyer and judge. I am reasonably confident that he was even more terrified by my lack of experience than I was. A wily prosecutor named Bill Fazio leading a young Michael Kelly represented the Crown and the legendary Jack Lazarus appeared for the co- accused.

  • ASIAN REPRESENTATIONS of AUSTRALIA Alison Elizabeth Broinowski 12 December 2001 a Thesis Submitted for the Degree Of
    ABOUT FACE: ASIAN REPRESENTATIONS OF AUSTRALIA Alison Elizabeth Broinowski 12 December 2001 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University ii Statement This thesis is my own work. Preliminary research was undertaken collaboratively with a team of Asian Australians under my co-direction with Dr Russell Trood and Deborah McNamara. They were asked in 1995-96 to collect relevant material, in English and vernacular languages, from the public sphere in their countries of origin. Three monographs based on this work were published in 1998 by the Centre for the Study of Australia Asia Relations at Griffith University and these, together with one unpublished paper, are extensively cited in Part 2. The researchers were Kwak Ki-Sung, Anne T. Nguyen, Ouyang Yu, and Heidi Powson and Lou Miles. Further research was conducted from 2000 at the National Library with a team of Chinese and Japanese linguists from the Australian National University, under an ARC project, ‘Asian Accounts of Australia’, of which Shun Ikeda and I are Chief Investigators. Its preliminary findings are cited in Part 2. Alison Broinowski iii Abstract This thesis considers the ways in which Australia has been publicly represented in ten Asian societies in the twentieth century. It shows how these representations are at odds with Australian opinion leaders’ assertions about being a multicultural society, with their claims about engagement with Asia, and with their understanding of what is ‘typically’ Australian. It reviews the emergence and development of Asian regionalism in the twentieth century, and considers how Occidentalist strategies have come to be used to exclude and marginalise Australia.

ISBN 0 7311 5984 5 Front endpaper: Audit Office staff, 1907. Back endpaper: Audit Office staff, 2001. iii Foreword he year 2001 assumed much significance for the Victorian Auditor-General’s Office as Tit marked the 150th anniversary of the appointment in July 1851 of the first Victorian Auditor-General, Charles Hotson Ebden. In commemoration of this major occasion, we decided to commission a history of the 150 years of the Office and appointed Dr Peter Yule, to carry out this task. The product of the work of Peter Yule is a highly informative account of the Office over the 150 year period. Peter has skilfully analysed the personalities and key events that have characterised the functioning of the Office and indeed much of the Victorian public sector over the years. His book will be fascinating reading to anyone interested in the development of public accountability in this State and of the forces of change that have progressively impacted on the powers and responsibilities of Auditors-General. Peter Yule was ably assisted by Geoff Burrows (Associate Professor in Accounting, University of Melbourne) who, together with Graham Hamilton (former Deputy Auditor- General), provided quality external advice during the course of the project.
