  • Challenges to the Survival of the Common Law
    CRITIQUE AND COMMENT INAUGURAL MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW ANNUAL LECTURE CHALLENGES TO THE SURVIVAL OF THE COMMON LAW STEPHEN MCLEISH* Modern conditions appear to pose challenges to the future of the common law. The range, volume and complexity of relevant and accessible material with which the common law has to deal have all grown rapidly. Statutory law has undergone corresponding growth, in a context where fundamental issues concerning the interaction between statutory and common law remain unresolved. Recalling the constitutional and democratic function of the courts may help meet these challenges. A court may only decide the case that is before it, and must do so according to law. This justifies regulating and if necessary confining the legal source materials to be accessed and relied upon in arguing and resolving a case. And recognition of the constitutional primacy of statute law is an essential starting point in ensuring cohesion of the body of statutory and common law. CONTENTS I Introduction .............................................................................................................. 818 II Growth and Complexity of the Common Law .................................................... 821 III Statutes and the Common Law .............................................................................. 825 IV Constitutional Considerations ............................................................................... 829 V Conclusion ...............................................................................................................

  • George Turner: Australia’S First Treasurer
    George Turner: Australia’s first treasurer John Hawkins1 The following article is the first in a series of biographies of Australia’s federal treasurers. George Turner, a former Victorian treasurer and premier, was Australia’s first treasurer, and despite battling ill-health brought down the first four federal budgets. He was a cautious treasurer whose budgets were balanced, and he limited federal expenditure. Revenue was raised from somewhat protectionist tariffs, and most of it was redistributed to the states. Turner was so widely respected for his diligence and competence that the leaders of all three major parties of the time reputedly offered him the post of treasurer. 1 The author is from Domestic Economy Division, the Australian Treasury. Comments and support from Amy Burke, Steven Kennedy and Carol Murphy are appreciated. The views in this article are those of the author and not necessarily those of the Australian Treasury. 59 George Turner: Australia’s first treasurer Introduction The Right Honourable Sir George Turner, PC, KCMG, was Australia’s first treasurer, and brought down the first four federal budgets.2 Manning Clark said of him that ‘balancing the books was his great passion in life’.3 This made him an ideal choice for the job of treasurer, at a time when it was more of an accounting role than an economic one. Competent rather than charismatic, he was so admired for being ‘hardworking, conscientious and reliable’4 that all the party leaders and prime ministers of the time (the Protectionists Barton and Deakin, the Free Trader Reid and Labor’s Watson) reputedly offered him the job as treasurer.

  • “Women's Voices in Ancient and Modern Times”
    “Women’s Voices in Ancient and Modern Times” Speech delivered at the ANU Law Students’ Society Women in Law Breakfast 22 March 2021 I acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land and pay my respects to their elders— past, present, and emerging. I acknowledge that sovereignty over this land was never ceded. I extend my respects to all First Nations people who may be present today. I acknowledge that, in Australia over the last 30 years, at least 442 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have died in custody. It is a pleasure to be speaking to a room of young women who will be part of the next generation of Australian and international lawyers. I hope that we will also see you in politics. In my youth, a very long time ago, the aspirational statement was “a woman’s place is in the House—and in the Senate”. As recent events show, that sentiment remains aspirational today. Women’s voices are still being devalued. Today, I will speak about the voices of women in ancient and modern democracies. Women in Ancient Greece Since ancient times, women’s voices have been silenced. While we could all name outstanding male Ancient Greek philosophers, poets, politicians, and physicians, how many of us know of eminent women from that time? The few women’s voices of which we do know are those of mythical figures. In Ancient Greece, the gods and goddesses walked among the populace, and people were ever mindful of their presence. They exerted a powerful influence. Who were the goddesses? Athena was a warrior, a judge, and a giver of wisdom, but she was born full-grown from her father (she had no mother) and she remained virginal.

  • John Latham in Owen Dixon's Eyes
    Chapter Six John Latham in Owen Dixon’s Eyes Professor Philip Ayres Sir John Latham’s achievements are substantial in a number of fields, and it is surprising that, despite the accessibility of the Latham Papers at the National Library, no-one has written a biography, though Stuart Macintyre, who did the Australian Dictionary of Biography entry, has told me that he had it in mind at one stage. Latham was born in 1877, nine years before Owen Dixon. As a student at the University of Melbourne, Latham held exhibitions and scholarships in logic, philosophy and law, and won the Supreme Court Judges’ Prize, being called to the Bar in 1904. He also found time to captain the Victorian lacrosse team. From 1917 he was head of Naval Intelligence (lieutenant-commander), and was on the Australian staff at the Versailles Peace Conference. Latham’s personality was rather aloof and cold. Philosophically he was a rationalist. From 1922-34 he was MHR for the Victorian seat of Kooyong (later held by R G Menzies and Andrew Peacock), and federal Attorney-General from 1925-29 in the Nationalist government, and again in 1931–34 in the Lyons United Australia Party government. In addition he was Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for External Affairs from 1931-34. He resigned his seat and was subsequently appointed Chief Justice of the High Court (1935-52), taking leave in 1940-41 to go off to Tokyo as Australia’s first Minister to Japan. Latham was a connoisseur of Japanese culture. He fostered a Japan-Australia friendship society in the 1930s, and in 1934 he led an Australian diplomatic mission to Japan, arranging at that time for the visit to Australia of the Japanese training flotilla.
