The election was largely important as it would demonstrate which of the parties (if any) could hold together a stable government after the unstable second term of the previous one, which saw four different governments in power. It would also see both of the Anti-Socialist parties could survive the implementation of protectionist policies which differentiated the two. This was also the first election where seats throughout the country were voted for via a First-past-the-post system, and the first time that Tasmania drew electorates. The election result was the creation of a Protectionist-Labour coalition government led by Deakin, which remained in power largely due to the unwillingness of the Anti-Socialist Party to support a vote of no confidence against it.There were three main political parties contending for seats, each of which we... ...

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Australian rules football in Canada is a fast growing team and spectator sport which has been played since the late 1980s. Australian football is currently played in four Canadian provinces - Ontario, Alberta, Quebec and British Columbia. The Ontario league, centred around Toronto but also including sides from cities as far afield as Guelph, Hamilton, Ottawa and Montreal, is considered the largest outside of Australia. In western Canada, there are clubs in Edmonton, Calgary and a six-team league in the Vancouver area. There is also a number of junior and women's clubs across Canada. Between 1987 and 1989, the Australian Football League staged several exhibition matches in Canada, attracting large crowds and much interest. The 1987 game holds the record for a VFL/AFL match held outside of Australia. In the late 1980s, regional ESPN broadcasts in Canada showed highlights of the Victorian Football League from Australia. The Canadian Australian Football League was established in May 1989 when two clubs the Mississauga Mustangs and the Toronto Panthers were formed and played in the inaugural Conacher Cup game in Toronto, Ontario. Since then, the game of Australian football in Canada has expanded considerably nationwide. In 1990, the Scarborough Rebels, the North York Hawks and the Hamilton Wildcats joined, with the Balmy Beach Saints coming on board in 1992. The North York Hawks later relocated and became known as the Broadview Hawks. The Brampton Wolverines, the league's seventh team, were formed in 1993.

Excerpt:A general election for the House of Assembly was held in the Australian state of Tasmania on 21 August 1948.Background In December 1947, Labor leader Robert Cosgrove had stood down as Premier while he faced charges of bribery, corruption and conspiracy. Cosgrove was acquitted of all charges on 22 February 1948, and was re-elected as Premier by the caucus, taking over from Edward Brooker who had filled in for him for three months. Brooker died on 18 June, four months after handing the premiership back to Cosgrove, and two months prior to the 1948 election. On 8 July, the Legislative Council voted to grant the House of Assembly two months supply provided an election was called after that time. The election was fought mainly on constitutional issues.

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Club is a satirical play by Australian playwright David Williamson, that follows the fortunes of a football club over the course of a season. It explores the clashes between "human loyalty versus materialistic gain". It was inspired by the backroom dealings and antics of the Victorian Football League's Collingwood. The play was produced in 1977, appropriately in Melbourne. It has been in the senior English syllabi for four Australian states for many years, and has even run in America, under the name Players. A film version was produced in 1980, written by David Williamson, directed by Bruce Beresford and starring John Howard, Jack Thompson, Graham Kennedy and Frank Wilson. The film was described as a "hilarious, sharply observed slice of life". In 2007 The Club was re-produced and is currently touring Australia, starring John Wood, Denis Moore and Christopher Connelly. The club pay a high price for Tasmanian recruit, Geoff Hayward (Howard). Geoff does not play well initially, infuriating the dedicated coach, Laurie Holden (Thompson). With the club playing so badly, Laurie's coaching days look to be over soon. Ted Parker (Kennedy), the club president is forced to resign following an assault on a stripper where he punched her because she wasnt interested in him but had previously acted very interested but this incident could have been kept quiet apart from the fact that there was backstabbing from various board members, especially Jock (Frank Wilson) and Gerry (Alan Cassell).

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Results and statistics for the VFL/AFL season of 1956. From 22 November to 8 December, the 1956 Summer Olympics were to be held in Melbourne, with a re-configured Melbourne Cricket Ground as its Main Stadium. The need to accommodate this fact brought certain unusual changes to the 1956 VFL home-and-away season: It was a well-established VFL practice to treat the Melbourne-Richmond and South Melbourne-St Kilda team pairs in a particular way: at no time would a pair of teams play a home game on the same day. This was done for: The fact that Melbourne could not use the Melbourne Cricket Ground before 12 May (round 5), and that Melbourne would therefore have 4 "away" matches in rounds 1-4 was demonstrably unfair to the other 11 teams, because Melbourne would then have 4 "home" matches in rounds 12-15 (closer to the "business end" of the season). It would be even more unjust to its "paired" team Richmond, who would be forced to play 4 "home" matches in rounds 1-4 and 4 "away" matches in rounds 12-15. To overcome this perceived anomaly in the best possible way, the VFL designated Melbourne's round 4 match against Fitzroy as a Melbourne "home" match and scheduled it to be played at the Punt Road Oval. In order, to accommodate all these extraordinary issues, the VFL eventually determined that Melbourne would play their nine home and nine away matches as follows: (1) Away, (2) Away, (3) Away, (4) Home (Punt Road), (5) Home (MCG), (6) Away, (7) Home (MCG), (8) Away, (9) Home (MCG), (10) Home (MCG), (11) Away, (12) Home (MCG), (13) Home (MCG), (14) Home (MCG), (15) Away, (16) Away, (17) Home (MCG), (18) A...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=10640687 ...

Viewers write in asking for advice about personal problems such as family squabbles, questions of social etiquette, marriage problems, contraception, work or career problems. The host of the program - usually an intentionally brusque and outspoken older male - presents each viewer question in turn and a panel of female celebrities provide their advice on the problem and the panel discusses the problem and the advice given offering opinions and views.In 1982, the f... ...
