		The second model was theoretical: being derived from the influential political argument advanced by, among others, John Stuart Mill, for the institution of PR in a house of Parliament.
		The aim of the second chamber was to act as `the centre of resistance to the predominant power in the Constitution', which in modern democracies is the force of the majority, or what he termed `democratic ascendancy' with its defective tendency to cultivate what he, following Tocqueville, identified as the tyranny of the majority.
		Second, the authors take pains to demonstrate the many varieties of PR and in particular to promote their own version of a list system which is designed to consolidate rather than fragment the two party system of parliamentary government, much like some contemporary critics from the major political parties.

		Chifley, fearing the inflationary consequences of decentralisation, retained the existing Court and its power over key issues such as the basic wage, hours, annual leave and the female minimum wage in his 1947 legislation.
		Chifley rejected the demand of the Miners' Federation for the nationalisation of the industry and provided for no union representation on the Board, which shared the government's objectives of producing sufficient coal to meet the demands of Australia's post-War economy.

		The growth of the ministry in the 1940s and 1950s made this increasingly impractical, and in 1956 Robert Menzies created a two-tier ministry, with only senior ministers holding Cabinet rank.

	Biography of John Curtin
		His second objective concerning the establishment of postwar Commonwealth collaborative machinery in the form of a secretariat based in London did not attract any support - in retrospect he was twenty years ahead of his time.
		On 12 July the Labor Caucus elected Ben Chifley to the leadership by a substantial majority and his government was sworn in on the following day, with the only change from Curtin's last Ministry the inclusion of a Western Australian, Herbert V Johnson, to replace Curtin himself.
		Chifley had always been a valuable personal and political ally and confidante to Curtin, and his weeks as Acting Prime Minister after Curtin's hospitalisation in April undoubtedly contributed to the ease of his victory.

		Gough Whitlam was born in Kew, one of Melbourne's wealthier suburbs.
		After the electoral success of the Curtin and Chifley years, the 1950s were a grim and divisive time for Labor.
		Whitlam admired Evatt greatly, and was a loyal supporter of his leadership right through the 1950s, a period dominated by the very bitter Labor split of 1955, which resulted in the Catholic right wing of the party breaking off to form the Democratic Labor Party (DLP).
