Topic: John Young NSW Governor


  
  Governors of the Australian states - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Governors of the Australian states are the representatives in the six states of Australia of Australia's head of state, Queen Elizabeth II.
State Governors continued to be appointed by the King on the advice of the Colonial Secretary in London, usually after an informal consultation with the state government.
The post of Governor was again called into question during the Depression of the 1930s, when the cost of maintaining six vice-regal establishments (as well as a Governor-General in Canberra) drew criticism from the labour movement and others.

 Walkabout - Bowral
With pastures around the Sydney area becoming scarce, John Oxley, with his stockmen, followed the route of what is now the old Hume Highway to the Berrima district in 1815.

 Fellowship of First Fleeters   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Young Arthur Phillip was very fortunate in his parents, his mother giving him a love of England and the Navy and his father an excellent educator.
In 1760 he served under a relative, Captain John Everitt in the Caribbean, arriving in Antigua on 25th October of that year and saw slavery for the first time, a state which horrified him, and fought against it for the remainder of his life.
As Captain John Fortesque stated in 1789 "I do think God Almighty made Phillip on purpose for this place, for never did a man better know what to do or with more determination to see it done, and yet if they will let him, he will make them all very happy".

 Young Offenders Amendment Bill 2002 - 27/08/2002 - 2R   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
It is rightly argued that a young offender may be cautioned on three minor and different matters, such as possession of a small amount of marijuana, offensive language or a minor shoplifting offence.
It is legitimate and proper for a young person to be cautioned where the offence involved is such that it is believed that the young person is unlikely to reoffend and where the offence is of such character that a caution is appropriate—that is, the offence is not unduly serious.

 Chancellor's eulogy for the late Emeritus Professor John Young
So it would be misleading to describe John Young as having an early union background, though it would elicit an amused smile if one were to suggest it.
There was nothing superficial about John's capacity to penetrate the interstices of an organisation, gauging its strengths and weaknesses and his own capacity to contribute to its progressive improvement, even radical reform if convinced of its necessity.
My abiding sense of John Young is of a man who strived with indomitable dedication for the University, the very centre of his intellectual being.

The NSW Roads Minister, Carl Scully, wants changes in place by the end of the year to crack down on fatalities involving young drivers, and he has asked the Roads and Traffic Authority to prepare a discussion paper.

Young drivers could be restricted to vehicles below a specific power-to-weight ratio, in the same way motorcyclists are already prevented from riding bikes above a certain capacity at stages of the licensing process.

Once again, John Curtin showed his leadership and organisational prowess similar to that of the instigation of the Women's Land Army with the idea of aligning the whole of the remaining population with the thought of helping the Australian war effort by acquiring a job that would assist the country's chances of victory.

John Curtin was endowed with such great qualities of 'unassuming dignity, simplicity, straightforwardness and patriotism'15 which enabled him to bring together the independent Australians to work together to save the nation.
