	Paul Strangio \| Labor and Reform of the Victorian Legislative Council, 1950–2003 \| Labour History, 86 \| The ...
		The legislation's chief purpose was reform of Victorian Labor's historical nemesis, the Legislative Council.
		The history chronicled by Serle in his 1954 article suggested that the role performed by the Legislative Council in Victorian politics during its first century was exactly as the framers of Victoria's Constitution had intended it — a restraint on the democratic urges of the Legislative Assembly.
		Costar's contention that the 1984 legislation stripped the Council of the power to force an early election during the fixed three-year portion of the Assembly term is further discussed in Stone, 'Bicameralism and Democracy', pp.

	For Glory & a Farm. Australian troops in NZ 1860 onwards
		Victorians were conscious that their defences were at the whim of Imperial interests wherever they happened to be at the time.
		"Victorian Colonist" outlined the Maori basis of land ownership, suggesting that for the Maoris of New Zealand to comprehend the meaning of the "Queens sovereignty" was to impute to the Maori a greater understanding of the term than a natural born Englishman.
		Victorians were told that it was only "disloyal" Maoris who refused to sell land for colonization who constituted the threat to Europeans located mainly in South Auckland and Taranaki.

	Victoria's Legislative Assembly: Early PR Debates
		Since the ALP Government gained majority support in both houses in 2001 the electoral legislation has been changed and a proportional representation system will apply for the next Upper House poll due in November 2006.
		Nevertheless it is worth realizing that the issue of PR for elections to the Victorian Parliament has had a surprisingly long history.
		A life member of the PRSA’s Victorian Branch, the late Mr Roger Donegan of Mont Albert, had obtained for the Society some interesting extracts from debates in Victoria’s colonial parliament that he obtained from various volumes of the official record, the Victorian Parliamentary Debates (more recently known as "Hansard").

	The Samuel Griffith Society: Volume 2: Chapter Eleven
		This, together with a contingent motion that the Legislative Assembly should be acquainted with the terms of the foregoing resolution and asked to concur in it, was passed by the Legislative Council without a division.
		With the Legislative Assembly's concurrence, the two Houses of the Victorian Parliament, in an action for which there was then no precedent and which has not to my knowledge been emulated since, met in joint session in the chamber of the Legislative Assembly on 10 and 11 November, 1942.
		The Victorian Premier was to reflect on this general air of confusion when, on 9 December l942, he moved the second reading in the Victorian Legislative Assembly of the Commonwealth Powers Bill which was the direct outcome of that Convention so-called.

	Peter Love \| Frank Anstey : From Heroic Persona to Embattled Identity \| Labour History, 87 \| The History Cooperative
		In 1902, against the electoral tide, he won the seat at his second attempt and promptly gave the Legislative Assemble a sample of his fiery invective in denouncing Malcolm Kenneth McKenzie, a Minister for Lands who was found to have acted corruptly in the administration of his Department.
		Not only was this class legislation, he declared in a bluntly secularist conclusion that echoed his commonplace book, but 'Woe betide the democracy of any country if the Church is to once more rule the destinies of nations'.
		His final speech in the Legislative Assembly, however, was significant for what it revealed about the kind of class culture he championed so vigorously.

	Victorian Election 2002
		In our paper on the 1999 Victorian election we described that election as 'one of the most remarkable State elections of the last 50 years'.(1) At the risk of being accused of unoriginality, we believe that we can safely assert the same about the 2002 Victorian election, though for quite different reasons.
		The minority Bracks Labor Government was seeking to gain control of the Legislative Assembly; the Liberal Party was seeking to regain the government benches so surprisingly taken from it in the election of 1999.
		According to Prime Minister Howard the Victorian Liberals 'spent too long pretending that somehow or another it had been an accident that Kennett was defeated'.(40) This difficulty was said to have made the party defensive and reluctant to criticise the Kennett Government.

	AUSTRALIAN HISTORY: The Labor Split - 50 years on - 9 April 2005
		To get the necessary numbers at the special Victorian conference, the federal executive, in clear disregard of the party rules, decided in effect that union delegates to the ALP federal conference need not be members of the Labor Party.
		In a further step, to deprive the Victorian executive of its right of appeal to the party's federal conference, the federal executive postponed the scheduled forthcoming federal conference from January 17 to March 14, 1955, so that it took place after the special Victorian conference called for February 27.
		The Victorian state executive elected at the 1954 conference declared the special conference called by the federal executive for February 27 to be "bogus" - which, according to the rules of the Labor Party, it clearly was.

		Other legislative powers of the Commonwealth are difficult to interpret; many Acts of the Parliament have been held by the High Court to be unconstitutional.
		The speech he made in 1939 at the annual commencement of the Canberra University College entitled The place of a university in the modern community reveals the depth of his knowledge of university affairs and his clearly formulated views on the role of the university in society(3).

		While the government considers the commission's view of the act, it would be inappropriate for the restrictions on the number of gaming machines permitted in the territory to be relaxed.
		Unfortunately, a literal interpretation of the Victorian Legislative Assembly standing orders meant that the member for Forest Hill was ejected from the chamber.
