we say God Save the Queen, because nothing will save the Governor-general!” A statement that has now gone down in history as Kerr’s Cur. While Whitlam never believed the dismissal was illegal, he did however argue that it was improper and immoral. In fact Whitlam saw that Kerr’s failure to advise or warn Whitlam before the dismissal; the integrity of Barwick’s advice; that supply had not ‘run out’ when Kerr had terminated his commission; and finally that he was not restored as Prime Minister after supply was passed by the Senate and the House had declared ‘no confidence’ in Fraser, was the ultimate constitutional outrage. The legacy of Whitlam though goes beyond his dismissal, he was the man who brought the Labor party back into the light
On 02/11/2017 I was Dispatched to Smith Springs Elementary School for an investigation. A student Cire Kistner, was reported as being visibly distraught upon her arrival at school. She was taken to Lance Forman's office the schools principal and was questioned. The student reportedly told Forman that she and her sisters walked into the bathroom and witnessed their father, Eric Kistner, with a needle in his mouth and blood on his forehead. He was passed out on the floor. There was a spoon with "black watery play dough" on the counter. Principal Forman contacted DCS and informed them of the situation as well as MNPD. Metro P.D held the students at school, while also performing a welfare check on their father at the Kistner residence and calling
The Pacific Scandal, 1873, led to the defeat of the Conservative government led by Sir John A Macdonald (Wallace 1948). The Conservative government was found to have accepted illegal funds in return for granting the Pacific Railway Contract to Sir Hugh Allan and his group of American business partners. Members of the Liberal opposition party brought evidence of money, being accepted, by Macdonald, forward on April 2, 1873 (Wallace 1948). The most detrimental piece of evidence was a telegram sent by Macdonald to Allen’s legal adviser, John Abbott. The telegram stated, “I must have another ten thousand – will be the last time of calling. Do not fail me;
Initially, the case went before the Federal Court, with the Justice North finding it in favour of the MUA, yet the liberal government (who supported Patricks) appealed to the High Court of Australia. The case was similarly heard before the judges yet they found it once again in the favour of MUA, stating that the company had intentionally restructured its corporation with purpose to dismiss the unionised workforce.
After being discovered by Portuguese explorers sailing under the Spanish flag Juan Rodrigues Cabrillo named the area San Miguel (estimated year: 1499-1543 ). It wasn’t until 1602 that San Diego got its namesake. Spain sent mapper Sebastian Vizcaino to map the California coast and
Edward Gough Whitlam well known as Gough Whitlam, he was an Australian politician and the 21st Prime Minister of Australia, he served from 5th December 1972 to 11th November 1975. He bought Labor to power for the first time in 23 years. He was a wonderful man who accomplished many things during his time as Prime Minister, but he was, as well the only Prime Minister to be fired by the governor general in all of Australian history. Gough Whitlam bought major changes across the fields of health, Indigenous rights, immigration, education, foreign affairs and industrial relations. He brought back all Australian troops from Vietnam, cut the White Australia Policy and increased funding for the arts.

The piece Advance Australia … within reason, was conveyed on the 5th of January by Amy Mackintosh, at the annual “University of Students for Youth Political Activism’ meeting held at The University of Melbourne. Mackintosh steadily argues the reasons why Australia should not have become a republic, and how the country should stay as a monarchy. The tone of the speech is very colloquial and even sarcastic, with the middle part being more analytical and serious. The speaker gives the impression that the argument for Australia to stay as a Monarchy is unbiased and logical.
As the Prime Minister of Australia, it is my duty to present my democratic nation with their elected desires. The current issue is concerning the movement of Australia’s governing system from a constitutional monarchy to a republic. I believe that Australia should become a republic, as our sunburnt country has overtime developed culturally and democratically since 1901 when we become the Commonwealth of Australia, and started living under the ruling of Queen Elizabeth the Second. We have created a place that is in no way similar to the British Empire. As Australians we respect and acknowledge the traditional owners of our land, the Aborigines. Over time, it seems as though we have taken this country out of their hands and handed it to the
The 1997 general election swept away eighteen years of Conservative government, replacing it with a Labour majority government - with a majority of 179; their largest majority ever, surpassing even the 145 seat majority won by the party in 1945. Under the Labour landslide, several prominent Tory MPs and frontbenchers were defeated by Labour, Liberal Democrat and Scottish National candidates, such as Foreign Secretary Malcolm Rifkind, Scottish Secretary Michael Forsyth, Trade Secretary Ian Lang, former Health Secretary Edwina Currie, former Chancellor of the Exchequer Norman Lamont, former Minister for ‘Fun’ (National Heritage) David Mellor, and scandal embroiled former Minister Neil Hamilton (who was defeated by the Labour and Liberal

The deadlines under F.R.Bankr.P. 4007 and F.R.Bankr.P. 4004 for the filing of complaints under § 523 or § 727, respectively, and the deadline under F.R.Bankr.P. 4003(b) to object to the debtor’s claim of exemptions are extended to allow the added creditor the same number of days in which to file such a complaint or objection as the creditor would have had if the creditor had been properly scheduled when the order for relief was
The Brisbane newspapers documented the perceived short comings of the Governor. First and foremost, the confirmed bachelor brought no wife to adorn the social scene. Quelle Horreur! Contessa Diamentina di Roma, wife of Governor Bowen, the first governor, sparkled with jewels, wore the latest fashion from London, and led the local sophisticates in a merry social round, and while subsequent governor's wives possessed a lesser glamour, at least they existed. Governor Cairns brought no wife, entertained infrequently, and in a move perceived as bizarre, dismissed all the female employees of Government House.
Challenging determining the accuracy of the data since the information reported on known crimes is what is known by the police.
This period of Labour rule is often marked down as a poor performance on behalf of the labour party, critically looked upon by many historians. There were many failings under the rule of this government however the circumstances they were placed in caused severe restraints in their options.
