	Maria Vamvakinou, MP. Federal Member for Calwell - Centenary of Federation (02/12/02) - Speeches (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The idea that arches were to be the symbol of our federation is based on the fact that arches were a popular form of architecture at the beginning of the 20th century, which was of course around the time of the birth of our nation.
		Melbourne City Council is seeking proposals from towns or organisations interested in inheriting the 30-tonne structure.
		It is a bit cute for the city of Melbourne to take an economic rationalist view of the future of the arch by calling for competitive tendering when in fact the arch was donated to Melbourne City Council in the first place.

	History of the port

		Though Melbourne today is recognisably the same place the Cantrills filmed in 1986, its skyline has undergone many significant changes since.
		The "real" Melbourne comes to stand for a kind of non-place, since all that can be represented is an absence, a waiting: "When the disaster comes upon us, it does not come." (4)
		It's present, for example, in Melbourne's many high-rise towers, constructed mainly between the '50s and the late '80s, and repeatedly attacked by conservative commentators like Humphries for their supposed tacky anonymity, the way they overpower or supersede more picturesque Victorian and Edwardian architecture.
