Refused to Be Distracted by Such Opposition from His Duty As He Saw It
147 Chapter 5. Barnet and the Politicians. The year 1879 sets out clearly the difficulties faced by a conscientious civil servant, with weighty public and professional responsibilities, being confronted with the demands of politicians. In December 1878 the Farnell Ministry had accepted responsibility for the proposed International Exhibition to be held in Sydney. That decision placed a heavy burden on Barnet who was expected, at short notice, to prepare plans for the principal and a number of minor buildings, arrange contracts and supervise construction. While that task pressed ahead, there were other projects which could not be neglected; for example, there was an urgent and continuing need to provide additional accommodation at the hospitals for the insane as well as to design and construct a number of light houses along the poorly-marked coast of the colony. These long-range tasks could not be abandoned even though the Government had insisted that the Exhibition Building must be given Barnets personal attention and take precedence over other work. He met those demands but not without criticism and denigration of his efforts; for his part he refused to be distracted by such opposition from his duty as he saw it. An examination is now made of Barnets response to those problems. THE AUSTRALASIAN BUILDER AND CONTRACTORS NEWS. JAN. 4. 1890.

CHAPTER 9 'WHERE IS THE METROPOLITAN AND ILLAWARRA RAILWAY LEAGUE?': THE RAILWAY IN LIMBO 1878-1880 Given the extteme closeness of tiie Legislative Assembly's AprU 1878 vote on the Ulawarra RaUway, it might have been expected that WoUongong's businessmen, at least untU the ParUament sat again in September, would allow nothing to draw force from their case for the RaUway. However, before then a push was made to have the govemment fund a major redevelopment of WoUongong Harbour, at the insistence of John Biggar. Biggar, of course, had announced in early June that he was importing Victorian potatoes for sale in WoUongong. This was no momentary whim. In addition to his real estate and auctioneering business Biggar seems to have had it mind to establish himself as an importer of various commodities from Melboume, including flour and biscuits.'' The condition of WoUongong Harbour, therefore, had a sharper significance for his ambitions than it did for many of his coUeagues. Thus, nearer the end of June he began a ft-esh campaign to have the govemment provide safer access for vessels using the port. -
Mr Eternity Footnotes
the true story of an unlikely australian icon one man • one word Mr Eternity: The Story of Arthur Stace Additional source material Note: the chapter and page numbers (in bold) provided below link this additional source material to the relevant section of text in the paperback version of Mr Eternity. Introduction: Mr Eternity xii Arthur Stace was not the first person to write ‘eternity’ around the streets of Sydney. In the SMH (9 November 1887, p. 5), the author of the ‘As You Like It’ column wrote: ‘Only yesterday I found written upon the wall of the building in which my business is transacted the word “Eternity” in letters of a chalk about ten inches by four; and upon the doorstep I was exhorted to repent.’ xv In the SMH, on 31 December 1999, p. 1, The Herald’s editorialist that day opined: ‘The highlight of the fireworks display will be the blaze in a fiery minute or so of the wordEternity “ ”, in Arthur Stace’s copperplate writing … [It] will be a provocative sign, as Arthur Stace intended, of the brevity of human life and the endlessness of life itself.’ xvi In the days that followed [the word Eternity appearing on the Harbour Bridge for New Years celebrations in 2000], there was scarcely a word of protest and plenty of delighted praise. See for example, letters to the editor of SMH, 4 January 2000, p. 10; one correspondent suggested that the Eternity sign should remain on the Bridge ‘forever’; the editorial in the Daily Telegraph (Sydney), 6 January 2000, p. -

PART III THE HARBOUR AND THE RAILWAY, 18821889 What kind of society isn't structured on greed? The problem of social organisation is how to set up an arrangement under which greed will do the least harm; capitalism is that kind of a system. Milton Friedman, Playboy, 1973. Quoted by R.W. Kent (Ed.), Money Talks: The 2500 Greatest Business Quotes From Aristotle to DeLorean. Pocket Books: New York 1985, p.98. CHAPTER 11 TO ADVANCE HIS COUNTRY'S GOOD: THE COAL TRADE AND THE WOLLONGONG HARBOUR TRUST SCHEME, 1882-1889 WoUongong would not be connected to Sydney by rail untU October 1888. Four factors accounted for the delay. First, Sydney's Garden Palace fire in June 1882, which destroyed the government's railway survey plans,'' These had to be redrawn and, consequentiy, the contract for the first section of the Ulawarra RaUway was not signed untiJ September 1882.2 The second obstacle was Alexander Stuart, Coalcliff mine proprietor, Member for Ulawarra and, from 5 January 1883, Prenuer of New South Wales, In June 1883 Stuart had his Minister for Public Works suspend constraction whUe the route by which tiie Ime entered the northem part of the Wollongong district and passed through Coalcliff was resurveyed. -

Reforming Aboriginal and Orphan Children through Removal and Labour in New South Wales (Australia), 1909-1917 Naomi Parry 1 Since 1996 in Australia, significant attention has been paid to the legacy of past practices towards children who had been displaced from their families by poverty, crime, the loss of family or deliberate policy. In that time, there have been three major government inquiries into the treatment of children and each has made it clear that Australian governments and welfare agencies failed the children in their care. In February 2008, the Australian Government apologized to the Aboriginal Stolen Generations and in November 2009, it apologized to the child migrants and ‘Forgotten Australians’ for their pain and suffering. -
