  • The Origins of the Australian System of Superannuation
    PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Easson First name: Mary Other namejs: Louise Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: M.Phil School: Australian School of Business Centre for Pensions and Superannuation Title: Present at the Creation: The Origins of the Australian System of Superannuation Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE} The thesis explores the origins and development of the Australian system of superannuation, from 1983 to the mid-1990s, during the terms of the Hawke and Keating Labor Governments, and the Accords between those governments and the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU), on behalf of the Australian union movement. Prior to 1983, access to superannuation was largely confined to male managerial and professional employees and was further limited in terms of eligibility, vesting and portability. In the 1970s unions began to exploit limited power in particular enterprises and industries to pursue superannuation as deferred income. The three tier Australian system evolves from this start: (i) mandatory contributions under legislation; (ii) employee supplements to retirement savings; and, (iii) a social security safety net, the universal age pension entitlement. Relentlessly pursued by the unions, generalled by ACTU Secretary Bill Kelty, from Accord Mark J in 1983, and its subsequent iterations, superannuation became an industrial right. lt may never have occurred but for the leadership of Prime Minister Bob Hawke and particularly his Treasurer, later Prime Minister, Paul Keating. The circumstances of the origin of Australia's system of compulsory superannuation were unique. A question explored and answered in the thesis is whether its origins and development were deliberate or largely accidental.

  • A Speech Delivered by Mr Gary Lockwood – (President of The
    A speech delivered by Mr Gary Lockwood – (President of the Australian Society for the Study of Labour History Adelaide Branch) at a meeting of the Florey Sub Branch of the ALP on Monday 21 st February 2011. Ladies and Gentleman fellow members of the ALP ...Comrades Thank you your introduction and I must say I am very proud to be the President of the Australian Society for the Study of Labour History (Adelaide Branch) and I would have greatly appreciated the opportunity to tell you more about a very fine Labour Organisation/History Organisation – how important it is, and what it does. But contemporary political times, has led me to take on another subject. In November 2010 I attended the Annual General Meeting at Sydney University of what is quite an academically orientated organisation – it is the peak history recording body of its type in Australia – highly held on an International base and historians long to have their works published in ‘Labour History’ – a publication that is produced twice yearly and this year on the organisation 50 th Anniversary...issue number 100 will be released. But it is about issue number 99 that I want to talk to you about ...because I have chosen an article in this issue to highlight the subject matter that I hope will be of interest to you all. I was at the Annual General Meeting of Labour History at Sydney University and just before the meeting commenced this ‘freshly off the press’ edition of Labour History arrived – someone handed me a copy and said ‘Oh Gary – you might just as well have your SA copy – it will save postage’ – I took it and sat down.

AMEC is the annual conference of the Mars Society Australia (MSA), which brings together researchers from across Australia and internationally, and provides the opportunity for the public to find out the latest in the multi-disciplinary field of Mars research. The conference comes after an exciting month for Mars enthusiasts, with the successful landing of the Phoenix mission near the Martian northern pole, and its sensational discovery of frozen water close to the Martian surface and soil so hospitable to life that garden vegetables could be grown in it. Phoenix joins a record number of spacecraft already operating at Mars, bringing the total to three in Mars orbit and three on the surface. The weekend will begin with a public lecture at 7.30pm on Friday 4 th July by Professor Russell Boyce from the University of Queensland on 'Australian Hypersonic Research and the Road to Mars'. A leading Australian expert on this promising propulsion technology, Professor Boyce will talk about how to get there, with special reference to the challenges of entering the Martian atmosphere. AMEC will open on Saturday morning, when MSA Vice-President Dr Jonathan Clarke will give an overview of the current Phoenix mission. Other conference speakers will include Professor Rob Morrison (‘Rob’ from the Curiosity Show), Dr Lizabeth K Coe, Assistant Chief (Acting) of the NASA Education Division, Dr Mark Bishop from the University of South Australia and Ms Artemis Westenberg Director, International Relations for The Mars Society and also President of the Mars Society of the Netherlands.
