CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1Background of the Analysis
Language is one of tools of communication that human needs to share what they are thinking about. Language has so many kinds in order that we can share something to other people by various ways. Language has many functions in communication, for instance, we can integrate or separate a country by language. There are so many ways to convey what our thinking is, for example by speaking and writing. In this thesis, the writer will analyze the language of two leaders in the form of speeches that were used for communication to their society specifically, these are the president inaugural speeches delivered by two prime ministers of Australia, i.e. Julia Gillard and John Howard. The writer uses president inaugural speeches for her analysis because she can know their real vision and mission of Julia Gillard and John Howard using language in their president inaugural speeches, what are the presidents feeling and action and how they convey their ideas in those speeches?
It is fact that a leader needs to communicate through his order speech process because a leader needs to share what she or he is thinking through his communication to his society by doing communication. A leader will put political strategies and forward they practiced to his society.
Language consists of three levels or strata, namely Phonology, Lexicogrammatical, and Discourse / Semantic. Halliday (1978:40) says,”…. Any text represents an actualization (a path through the system) at each level: the level of
(12)
lexicogrammatical system, and of course the level of sounding or writing. In this thesis, the writer uses transitivity theory to analyze the speeches of Julia Gillard and John Howard prime ministers.
The writer thinks she can explore processes that relate to the transitivity process due to Halliday Functional System. The writer thinks that transitivity theory is the most suitable theory to analyze text of written speeches due to the transitivity system.
The transitivity system provides some types of process with own characteristics and function. The transitivity is divided into three point, they are Participants, processes, and circumstances. Participant is the doer that does an action in a clause. This participant will be named by own name in each of types process of transitivity, For example killing is a kind of material process and the participant or the doer will have different name with hearing as the mental process. Then, processes are actions that done by the doer or the participants based on their types, and in those two president inaugural speeches, it portrays those aspects of transitivity found in processes in those two speeches, like wise Enggins (2004:210) says that, “Transitivity construes the world of experience into a manageable set of process types.” By transitivity we can analyze the types of processes, what type of processes are mostly used in the text. Next, circumstances is the background of process that done by the participants. On the other words, circumstances can be location, time, manner, etc in which the participant does some actions. Halliday (1994:151) quoted in Thompson’s book (1996:105) proposes nine main types of circumstantial elements. They are location, extent, manner, cause, Contingency, accompaniment, role, matter, angle.
(13)
In this thesis, the writer explores these six types of transitivity found in the two president inaugural speeches, e.g. material, mental, relational, behavioral, verbal, and existential processes.
As said previously in this thesis, the writer discusses about president inaugural speeches of two Prime Ministers Australia, i.e. Julia Gillard, and John Howard. These two speeches are interested to be analyzed because the writer can find the most dominant type of processes used by president, especially two presidents of Australia, Julia Gillard and John Howard. Then, we can make conclusion what type is commonly used by prime ministers of Australia in president inaugural speeches. This chapter needs to describe about the country of origin of those two prime ministers. That is Australia.
Australia is a country that has more 21 one million people. Indigenous people and foreign people come from more than 200 hundreds countries. The capital of Australia is Canberra. Australia has 6 states and 2 territories; they are New South Wales, Queesland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia, Nothern Territory, and Australian Capital Territory. Australia uses parliamentary system in its governance. Australia forms constitutional monarchy. Australia has queen that relating to England is Elizabeth Queen II. Then, Australia has three big political parties. They are labor, liberal, and national. Julia Gillard, Prime minister of Australia now, come labor political party.
John Howard was born on 26th July 1939. He is the 25th prime minister of Australia. John Howard is known as the second longest Australia prime minister after
(14)
3rd December 2007. He was from liberal party and changed Paul Keating in1996. He has a wife, Janneta Howard and has three children. They are Melanie, Tim, and Richard. Besides prime minister and leader of his family, he likes doing sport, cricket and Rugby.
Julia Gillard was born on 29th September, 1961. She is the 27th prime minister
of Australia and also the first woman who became prime minister in Australia. Julia
Gillard is from labor party and change Kevin Rudd as the leader and prime minister.
Julia Gillard won the general election in July 2010. In her vision as prime minister of
Australia, she concentrates her vision in health, education, immigration and weather
changes. We know that Julia Gillard disagree with Gay Marriage that many people do
this nowadays. She argues that marriage is only by a man and a woman.
1.2Problems of Analysis
The problems of this analysis are:
1. How many transitivity processes that are found in the two president inaugural speeches of Prime Minister of Australia?
2. What is the most dominant type of process that used in their inaugural speeches?
(15)
1.3Objective of the Analysis
The objectives of the analysis are to:
1. Find out transitivity processes in the two inaugural speeches of Australia Prime Minister.
2. Find out the most dominant process that used in the two inaugural speeches of Australia Prime Minister.
3. Find out the reason why it is more dominant than the other.
1.4Scope of the Analysis
This analysis focuses on transitivity processes found in president inaugural speeches of two Prime Ministers of Australia. They are Julia Gillard and John Howard.
1.5Significances of Analysis
In analyzing transitivity processes, there are some significances, they are: 1. The readers can understand how many transitivity processes that used in the
two president inaugural speeches of Australia prime minister. 2. To enrich the study of transitivity verbs.
3. Theoretically it gives information about transitivity processes in a text and how the texts work as they do.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE 2.1 Theoretical Framework
2.1.1 An Overview of Discourse Analysis
Discourse Analysis is a study about text. Text which is discussed is not only in writing but also in speaking language. Halliday and Hasan (1976:1),quoted in Enggins’s book, states “The word TEXT is used in linguistics to refer to any passage, spoken and written, of whatever, that does form a unified whole”. From the quotation, we know that discourse analyzes both written and spoken text. Written texts can be found in the articles, letters, stories, instruction, comics, notice, caution, etc, while spoken texts can be found in the speech, interview, conversation, interruption, etc. in this thesis, the writer analyze spoken text becoming object of the analysis. Speech is one of spoken text that used to do communication and to share what someone thinks at that time by pronouncing in the front of audiences.
Basically, many scholars had differed texts into two parts, they are written language called by text while spoken language called by discourse. Otherwise Halliday and Hasan stated that text included both spoken and written language. In this thesis, the writer agrees to Halliday and Hasan’s statement because all of things can be called by text, if they have cohesion and coherence and has message to the others.
Enggins (2004:33) states, “The cohesive resource of reference refers to how the writer or speaker introduces participants and then keeps track of them once they are in the text. Participants are the people, places and things that get talked about in the text”.
(17)
All of the texts, not only written text but also the spoken one, need cohesion, cohesive and coherence to be called by text. Next, Enggins (2004:42) states “The cohesive resource of lexical relation refers to how the writer/speaker uses lexical items (nouns, verbs, adjective, adverbs) and even to sequences (chains of clauses and sentences) to relate the text consistently to its area o focus or its field”.
The writer knows that text has to be coherence and cohesive in its structure. Cohesive and coherence is not only found in the written text but also in the spoken text. Content of Spoken text should relate each other. In this thesis, the writer agrees to Halliday and Hasan statement.
2.1.2. Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL)
In daily life, we use language to many functions, chat to other people, read the newspaper, speech in the front of audience, tell the story, do interview, make an appointment. To do those activities, we need language and should know its context of language that used at that time. And the language that we are used to doing those activities relates to texts, both written text and spoken text in order that the writer will analyze it by SFL.
Systemic Functional Linguistics is one of theories about language relating to language and its context. The Idea of context firstly is founded by Malinowski continued by Firth and developed by Firth’s students called by Neo-Firthian. One of his students is M.A.K Halliday. Systemic functional linguistics was developed by M.A.K Halliday, a professor of linguistics from Sydney University, Australia. In this
(18)
SFL works on language and its context. ‘S’ for Systemic implies systemic relations and their probabilities in systemic networks. The probabilities are started from general to specific features. Next, it is also implies that the systems of meaning involved interrelation relating to investigating phenomena. The “F” for Functional implies that it is concerned with the functional realizations of the systems in structures.
Enggins (2004:2) says, “Halliday’s interest has always been with the meanings of language in use in the textual processes of social life”. Based on this quotation, the writer agrees that all processes of social life as part of language have meanings. It is the most suitable theory that the writer apply to analyze this thesis.
The writer thinks that SFL theory is the most suitable to analyze spoken text in this thesis. They are inauguration speeches by Julia Gillard and John Howard as Prime Ministers of Australia.
2.1.3 Metafunction of Language
Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) describes that language is functional or called by Metafunction. Metafunction of language means that it is not about functions of language but it is about fundamental concepts of someone in using language. There are three functional of Metafunction in languages, they are The Ideational Function, The Interpersonal Function and The Textual Function.
2.1.3.1 The Ideational Function
The ideational function relates to experiences of someone relating to process that happened at that time. It is realized in some points, they are participants, process, and circumstance. The ideational function has two meanings, they are experiential
(19)
meaning and logical meaning. Halliday and Matthiessen (2004) quoted in Enggins’s book states that the ideational strand of meaning in fact involves two components : that of experiential meaning in the clause and that of the logical meaning between clauses in clause complexes.
Experiential meaning relates to what has happened between oneself to the external world. The clause represents both actions relating to inside of oneself as experience and outside world of someone. In this function, they have some points to represent their experiences, they are participant, process, and circumstance. The process that has been happened is called by transitivity process. They are material, mental, relational, verbal, existential and behavioral process.
Besides experiential meaning, logical meaning relates to ideational function. The clauses should be related each other and can take conclusion logically based on the clauses described in the text, not only written text but also spoken text.
2.1.3.2 The Interpersonal Function
The interpersonal function relates to interpretation and interaction done by the doers. The clauses describe relation between the speaker and the listener in the spoken text or the writer and the listener in the written text. Halliday (1984, Halliday and Matthiessen 2004:106-111) quoted in Enggins’s book state that approaches the grammar of interaction from a semantic perspective. He points out that whenever we use language to interact, one of the things we are doing with it is establishing a relationship between the person speaking now and the person who will probably speak next. Enggins (2004:144)
(20)
From this quotation, the writer concludes that relationship between speaker and listener or writer and reader should establish called by interaction each other. 2.1.3.3 The Textual Function
The textual function relates to the interpretation of someone taken by clauses as message. In this textual function, we can catch meaning the message and coherence between a clause to other clauses and relate them by activity and language. In this function, the components of textual function are theme and rheme. The message or meaning in the clause called by theme and rest is called by rheme. Enggins (2004:212) says, “By looking at what the speaker puts first in the clause, we can capture the encoding of textual meaning”. And “with theme used to refer to the point of departure (‘what I’m talking about) and Rheme to label the point of arrival (‘what I’m telling you about it)”.
In this thesis, the writer will limit the analysis is only about the Ideational Function relating to experiential meaning that representing experiences based on participant, process and circumstances. In this thesis, the writer will concentrate to Transitivity processes found in Inauguration speech of two selected prime minister. They are Julia Gillard and John Howard.
2.1.4 Transitivity Process
Transitivity system belongs to experiential metafunctions. When someone speaks by clauses consisting words, the meaning of the words has been in someone’s mind. This meaning relates to the content or the idea of the words. Processes found is representation of processes relating to transitivity systems. Transitivity provides some types of process with own characteristics and functions.
(21)
The transitivity is divided into three point, they are Participants, processes, and circumstances. Participant is the doer that does an action in a clause. This participant will be named by own name in each of types process of transitivity, For example killing is a kind of material process and the participant or the doer will have different name with hearing as the mental process. Then, processes are actions that done by the doer or the participants based on their types. Enggins (2004:210) says that, “Transitivity construes the world of experience into a manageable set of process types.” By transitivity we can analyze the types of processes, what type of processes are mostly used in the text. Halliday (2004:169) says, “The clause construes a relationship of signification between a word and its meaning”. Next, circumstances is the background of process that done by the participants. On the other words, circumstances can be location, time, manner, etc in which the participant does some actions. Halliday (1994:151) proposes nine main types of circumstantial elements. They are location, extent, manner, cause, Contingency, accompaniment, role, matter, angle.
In this thesis, the writer only analyzes the types of processes. They are material, mental, relational, behavioral, verbal, existential processes. In this thesis, the writer only focuses on types of transitivity processes found in those selected inauguration speech. Halliday (2004:173) says, “The semiotic space shown in below can be interpreted systematically as a system network. Like all system networks, this network construes a continuous semiotic space”.
(22)

Process Type
2.2.1 Material Processes
Enggins (2004:215) says, “Material processes are processes about doing, about action. Actions involve actors, or participants. Participants realized by nominal groups.” This quotation stated that material processes has characteristic is doing a real action or movement and this type relates to physical action, and in this process we can see real action of doing this process, for instance walking, bringing, kicking, touching, etc. in this material process, the first participants will be called by the actor and the second or more participant will be named by the goal. In the inaugural speech, we can see the examples,
Identifying + Token: + Sanser: + Behaver
Behavioural Major
Material Actor
Behaver ; Conscious Mental
+ Sanser:
Sanser : Conscious Verbal
+ Sayer Relational
Attribute
+ Attribut:
+ Value: Existential
(23)

2.2.2 Mental Processes
Enggins (2004: 225) says, “We are not asking about actions or doings in a tangible, physical sense, but about mental reactions: about thought, feelings, perceptions.” We know that mental process is a type of transitivity process that related to sense, feeling of person. In mental process, the first participant who does the action is called by Senser, and the second participant or the purpose will be named by Phenomenon, for example
We understand the great enduring truth.
We understand the great enduring truth
Senser Pr : Mental Phenomenon
2.2.3 Behavioral Processes
Behavioral process is a kind of process that relating to psychological and the actions are done in conscious being. This type of process is between mental and material processes. In this process, it usually has one participant that is called by Behaver. If there is any second participant, it will be called by Behaviour. Enggins (2004: 233) states that, “Halliday describes these processes semantically as a ‘half - way house’ between mental and material processes.” In other words, behavioral process is included the action process, but the action is done with consciousness. For example, stared, laughed, waved, sigh, laugh, watch, etc.
(24)
For instance, He laughed at people in the front of this building
He Laughed at people in the front of this building Behaver Pr : Behavioral Behaviour Circ loc: place
Actually, between Mental processes and Behavioral Processes, there is similarities, they discuss about processes relating to thinking and feeling. The difference is Mental processes relates to verbs happened unconsciously while Behavioral processes relates to verbs happened consciously by the Behaver. For instance, hear, related to physical perception verbs, relating to mental processes. This action is happened unconsciously by the Senser while listen to is a process requiring consciousness when doing this process.
2.2.4 Verbal Processes
Verbal processes is a kind of processes that relating to the saying and directly effects to mental operation. It is done by consciousness. For example, said, told, report, asked, repeated, etc. For example :
Santi is asking me about the information
Santi is asking me the information
Sayer Pr : Verbal Receiver Verbiage
2.2.5 Relational Processes
Relational processes is a part of predicates that using to be or auxiliary as the processes. There is no real action like material processes but there is regarded as a clause that the existence is regarded, for instance am, will not be, may be, hasn’t had,
(25)
are, would have been, etc. There are two classifications in relational process. They are Intensive Attributive Processes and Intensive Identifying Processes. Enggins (2004:240) states that, “…. There is no passive form of the clause: the subject can never conflate with the role attributive, but will always conflate with the role of carrier”. In the intensive attributive processes, the first participant will be named by Carrier while the second participant is called by Attributive. In intensive Identifying process, the first participant will be named by Token, and the other participant will be named by Value. Enggins (2004:242) states that, “Typically the nominal groups in identifying intensive are definite, whereas in attributives the attribute is an indefinite nominal group”. Means that there is no passive form in Intensive Attributive Process otherwise it can be passive forms in intensive identifying process. It is happened because most of the first participant and the other participants are nominal groups, for example
1. Barry Jones is one of the few politicians of whom Australians are truly fond. Barry Jones Is one of the few politicians of whom
Australians are truly fond Token Pr: Relational
Indentifying Process
Value
2. Premier Kennet and CSR are wrong

Carrier Pr :Relational
Attributive Process
(26)
2.2.6 Existential Processes
Enggins (2004:238) states that, “Existential Processes represent experience by positing that ‘there was / is something’. As we know that ‘there’ will have two meanings, if ‘there’ word shows a location, it is not involved in existential process but in circumstances, for example
1. There is a sense of community and a fighting spirit often missing from the sleeker suburbs.

CHAPTER III
METHODOLOGY OF ANALYSIS
3.1Research method
Method is needed in this analysis in order to get the research qualified. In this thesis, the writer applied the descriptive qualitative content analysis method to do her analysis in which supported by internet, other thesis, and other sources. This is done by collecting data from inauguration speeches of two prime ministers Australia. They are Julia Gillard and John Howard.
3.2Data Collecting Method
Usman (2008:52) states “Teknik pengumpulan data terdiri atas observasi, wawancara, angket, dan dokumentasi”. (‘Data collecting method is divided into observation, interview, questionary, and documentation’). Based on this statement, the writer chooses one of data colleting method to apply in her thesis.
The writer applied documentation method in her analysis. The writer collected the data based on documents. Usman (2008:69) states that “Teknik pengumpulan data dengan dokumentasi ialah pengambilan data yang diperoleh melalui dokumen dokumen” (‘Data collecting method by documentation takes data that got from documents’). In this thesis, the documents were inauguration speeches by two prime ministers Australia in order that the writer can take conclusion after analyzing those documents in her analysis.
In this thesis, the writer does content analysis by applying Halliday’s theory to analyze the object of the analysis. The objects of the analysis are inauguration
(28)
speeches of two Australia prime minister, John Howard and Julia Gillard while method that the writer applies in this thesis is documentation method. In this thesis, documentation method is applied because the writer analyzes the object based on the spoken texts of those speeches.
3.3Data Analysis Method
Descriptive method is one of methods that used in analysis by describing the Data. Descriptive comes from English language meaning that describing. The object of the research done is reported by descriptive method in order that the readers can understand the result of research well. Bungin (2001:290) states that, “Penggunaan strategi deskriptif kualitatif dimulai dari analisis berbagai data yang terhimpun dari suatu penelitian, kemudian bergerak ke arah pembentukkan kesimpulan kategori atau cirri cirri umum tertentu”. (‘Using in qualitative descriptive strategy is started from analysis that collected from the research to forming of conclusion or specific characteristic’) From this quotation, the writer will do the analysis of transitivity process in president inaugural speeches of prime ministers of Australia by analyzing all of Data and towards at making a conclusion.
All of data that the writer analyzed are called by population. Population is the total object in the research in order that the inaugural presidents’ speeches of prime ministers Australia were called by Population. In this thesis, the writer divided all of sentences in those speeches into clauses, after dividing all of the sentences to clauses, the writer identified and classified the processes based on transitivity theory that
(29)
explained in chapter two. And the last, the writer found out the most dominant process that used in those speeches and take conclusion.
In order to find out the most dominant type of transitivity that used in the Inaugural speeches of prime ministers of Australia, the writer applies Bungin’s formula (2005:172);
N = fx / n x 100%
N = Percentage of each types of transitivity Fx = total number of types of transitivity.
It can be concluded that speeches relate to the communication. Bungin (2007:155) stated that, “Analisis isi berhubungan dengan komunikasi / isi komunikasi”. (‘Content of the analysis relates to the communication’) So, the writer does the analysis to get a conclusion that becomes an object of communication.
For Example, in Julia Gillard, the 27th Prime minister of Australia, her speech: it is a cause for celebration and will inspire us to ensure that many more women follow us into the parliament. In this sentence, the writer firstly divides that sentence into clauses, they are:
1. It is a cause for celebration 2. It will inspire us to ensure
3. Many women follow us into the parliament

Appendix 2
The Transcript of:
Julia Gillard July 2010
To be elected to this House as a Labor representative is a great honour. To be elected as the first woman ever chosen by the Victorian branch of the Labor Party to stand for an historically safe seat is more than a personal honour; it is a Labor landmark, as is the record number of Labor women sitting in this House. It is a cause for celebration and will inspire us to ensure that many more women follow us into this parliament. Having reached this place, my first task as the new member for Lalor is to thank the outgoing member, Mr Barry Jones, for his service to the local community over the past 21 years, for his contribution to Australian political life and for his personal support and encouragement.
Barry Jones has a unique place in Australian political life. Barry is famed throughout Australia for his intellect and is respected throughout Australia for his genuineness and compassion. In an age of cynicism about politicians, Barry Jones is one of the few politicians of whom Australians are truly fond. In the electorate of Lalor he is loved. While he will be sorely missed from this House, Barry will continue to serve the Labor Party as its national president and will continue his passionate engagement with Australia in his writing and public speaking.
The electorate of Lalor, so ably served by Barry Jones, is situated in Melbourne's outer west. Young families flock to Lalor and new housing estates are constantly being built. Part of Melbourne's industrial heartland, Lalor contains the Altona petrochemical complex, the Laverton industrial estate and the Toyota manufacturing plant, as well as the Point Cook and Laverton air bases. Far less well known and perhaps surprising to some, given the standard imagery of Melbourne's west, Lalor encompasses a significant agricultural precinct at Werribee South and throughout the electorate you find internationally protected wetlands. Lalor also contains major tourist attractions, including the historic Werribee Mansion, the open range zoo and the State Rose Garden.
As part of Melbourne's industrial west, the people of Lalor have always had to try harder. There is a sense of community and a fighting spirit often missing from the sleeker suburbs. That fighting spirit is now being called upon in a major community campaign to stop CSR turning the local quarry at Werribee into a toxic dump. There are only two reasons why Werribee has been selected as the site for this toxic dump: CSR wants to make money by filling its disused quarry with toxic waste and the Kennett government thinks Werribee is no more than a dumping ground because Melbourne's sewage farm is located there. But Premier Kennett and CSR are wrong.
(2)
When the Victorian Premier turns to the west, he holds his nose and closes his eyes. If he opened his eyes, he would have seen the 15,000 Werribee residents who rallied to stop the dump. And by now he should be smelling the scent of a political defeat because this is a fight that Lalor, named for that great fighter against injustice Peter Lalor, will win.
The electoral division of Lalor has enjoyed great stability and quality in its parliamentary representatives. Since its creation in 1949, apart from the curious aberration of being represented by the Liberal Party for one parliamentary term, Lalor has been represented in this place by only three members: Reg Pollard, Jim Cairns, the famous antiwar advocate, and Barry Jones. Whilst its parliamentary representation may have been stable, like all of Australia, the electorate of Lalor has undergone a radical transformation since World War II. In Lalor, as in our nation generally, the twin forces of globalisation and rapidly changing technology, particularly information technology, have remade and will continue to remake our lives.
The prevailing mood of insecurity is an understandable community response to the swirling winds of change which threaten to blow us to unknowable destinations. In Hugh Mackay's Mind and Mood study and in Clemenger's Silent Majority report, we find a society in which individuals increasingly feel insecure and powerless to control their lives in the face of rapid economic restructuring and social change. Most tellingly of all, parents believe their teenagers are facing a tougher world than they themselves faced. As a community, in common with societies throughout the Western world, our response to insecurity has run from simple nostalgia to the spectacle of the frightened turning on the vulnerable. Endless remakes of the songs and movies of the 1960s and 1970s and the rise of reactionary politics have something in common—both seek a return to a mythical, simpler time, a deep and dreamless sleep.
Various conservative politicians, some with subtlety, some nakedly, have encouraged this dangerous trend. So-called `wedge politics' sells the big lie that the answer to insecurity is to tread on the weakest amongst us. This shabby opportunism has hurt many and helped none.
For far too long public debate in Australia has failed to nourish or inspire us. For far too long it has been limited to the day-to-day monitoring of the health of our economy rather than the morals and goals of our society. The end result of this political cycle is a weary people who no longer believe what politicians say and who think the politicians saying it do not even believe it themselves.
In my view, the electors of Lalor, and the Australian people, are looking for a return to passion and conviction in Australian politics and to the clear articulation of values. They rightly want to know what their politicians stand for, what we believe in
(3)
and by what measures we are prepared to be judged. If the politics of values comes to the fore, then the Labor Party will win that contest. It is only the Labor Party that can claim to be based clearly upon a value system, a value system that has endured since the Labor Party's formation, even though the policies based upon those values are constantly revised in order to meet the needs of a changed and changing world.
We stand for the right of ordinary Australians—those who have neither wealth nor power—to a fair go, to be treated with dignity and respect in the workplace, to be recognised and valued as citizens and to have a say in their nation's future.
Our values are fundamentally democratic and collective. We understand the great enduring truth that individuals are immeasurably strengthened by being members of a team, of a society, and that a strong community provides the best platform from which individuals can excel. And we understand that the key aspiration of each generation of Australians is to ensure that the generation to follow, their daughters and sons, will lead a better life. These values—our core Labor values—are true signposts which take us beyond some of the sterile debates of the past.
Our conservative opponents would have Australians believe that our nation will only find its place in an open and competitive global economy if we sign up to the cult of individualism, to the survival of the fittest. By contrast, Labor—guided by our values—understands that, just like the most loving homes produce the confident kids who are able to face the world and take the risks necessary to get ahead, a nurturing and caring society is the best foundation for the individuals who will ensure Australia competes in the global market.
A strong economy and a strong society are not contradictory goals. Indeed, you can only achieve a sustainably strong economy by creating a strong society. A country is strengthened by individual security and national inclusiveness.
But security alone is not enough. A vision to satisfy Australians, a Labor vision, must also be a vision of opportunity, a vision whereby each and every Australian, no matter what their personal circumstances, is given an opportunity to develop and to excel, a vision whereby we can truly believe that the opportunities for the next generation will be better.
My personal story shows the difference that opportunity can make to a life. My father John and my mother Moira, who is watching from the gallery today, migrated to this country with my sister Alison and I as assisted passage migrants in 1966. Immigrants need courage and creativity; they need open minds and sturdy hearts. What the last red-headed woman who made a first speech in this place will never understand is that the vast majority of migrants come here determined to make
(4)
a better life for themselves and their kids, and they are prepared to work unbelievably hard to achieve that dream.
My father worked in a variety of blue-collar jobs before training as a psychiatric nurse. My mother worked as a domestic in an aged care institution. Between them they have contributed more to this country as workers, as citizens, than they ever cost it. And because they chose this country, while they still have their accents and their culture, they love this country and the lives they have made within it. Because they chose this country, they take nothing about it for granted: they celebrate and know its worth. And that is the truth of our history of migration, our history of multiculturalism.
In return, Australia has offered me opportunities that would have been beyond my parents' understanding when they stepped off that boat in Adelaide in 1966. It would have been inconceivable to them that their child, and a daughter at that, could be offered the opportunity to obtain two degrees from a university and to serve in the nation's parliament. I have only been able to take up those opportunities because of the excellent state education system which flourished in South Australia under the Dunstan Labor government and the access to universities made possible by the Whitlam government's abolition of up-front fees.
In coming to this House, I bring with me a passionately held view that it is fundamental to Labor's vision, to our compact with this and the next generation, that Australia not only offers the opportunities I enjoyed but offers the opportunity to train, to retrain, to excel, throughout life. Around the world now there is a trend back to the Centre Left, to social democratic parties that stress the importance of raising the educational standards of all citizens, not just a lucky few. This is because not only economists but ordinary people understand that the future of Australia and the future of themselves and their children is tied to educational success.
Australia cannot afford to waste talent. But, under this government, we are engaging in that shameful and cruel waste. We are denying Australians access to opportunity. In its 1996 budget, this government took $1.8 billion of public support away from our university system. The inevitable result has been a decline in the number of students starting courses at our universities. When the cuts took effect, Victoria tumbled from having the second highest growth rate in commencing enrolments to being the state with the biggest fall, a 4.7 per cent fall in commencing enrolments—a statistic which speaks of misery and lost opportunity.
Perhaps worst of all, under this government we have returned to a system of privilege rather than merit in our universities, a system of allowing the rich to buy a place while those with better entrance marks but not enough money miss out—a system which was eradicated by the Whitlam government when I was in primary school.

Of course, inequality in our education system is not just confined to higher education. Let me give you just one example involving my own electorate. High achievers are those talented young people who come in the top 7.5 per cent of results in their year 12 marks. Last year, one very good but very exclusive ladies college in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne alone had 111 high achievers in the pivotal subject of English. The 40 working-class secondary schools north and west of the Yarra, including the schools in my electorate, managed only 84 between them.
The students from my electorate are not any less intelligent than those from Higgins or Kooyong but their educational opportunities are not the same. Certainly, this massive discrepancy would be lessened if we as a nation were prepared to seriously tackle the inequality of opportunity that exists in our education system and create a high-class state school system. My predecessor, Barry Jones, used to say that unfortunately postcodes are probably the strongest factor in determining a person's expectations of success in life. It will be one of my priorities in politics to ensure that in the Australia of the future the famous quizmaster is, for once, wrong.
My passion for education is not only the product of my own personal experience; it is the result of having campaigned on these very issues as a university student. One of the features of this parliament is that every few elections there arrives a new generation of politicians distinctly different from the people who preceded them. People today make a lot of the new generation from the other side of this House who emerged from the battles with left-wing students on our campuses in the 1970s. I come from the generation of students who followed. Like them, we fought what we saw as self-indulgence and pampered extremism. Ours was a radicalism fashioned by a desire to be practical, much like my Welsh forebear, Nye Bevan, who was just one of the people from whom we took inspiration.
I will not pretend that the antics of a bunch of university students had much relevance to real working people, but we were always conscious that we were part of a wider movement to create a fairer society and give others the opportunities we were fortunate enough to have. We always understood the value of working collectively, of unionism. While experience in the student movement inspired those on the other side of the House to dedicate themselves to the destruction of unionism, it inspired us to work with and for unions. It inspired me to spend eight years as an industrial lawyer defending trade unions and working people. In this place, I will remain fiercely committed to working with unions and to working for fair industrial laws.
Our youthful anger may now be tempered by experience but the same beliefs in fairness and the same fire remain. Those friends from university have remained my comrades since the early 1980s. They are people of intelligence, public spiritedness and integrity. We stuck together and we retained our common goals. Today you can find them fighting in our great trade union movement to protect the jobs of timber workers, rubbish collectors, home care workers, nurses and Aussie post workers,

defending injured workers in the courts and helping prepare the ALP for the new millennium.
Today I pay tribute to them and especially to the most committed of them all, Michael O'Connor, who has been my closest confidant since those heady days. I would not have reached this place without his support and without the support of the friends and family members who care about me and have turned up in remarkable force today. My sincere thanks to: my mother, Moira; my father, John; my sister, Alison; her partner, Paul; and their children, Jenna and Tom. To Darrell Cochrane and Joan Kirner for never once wavering: my thanks. To Robyn McLeod: thanks for your friendship. To John Brumby, who so richly deserves to be the next Premier of Victoria: thanks for the opportunity to work with you and learn from you. To the member for Batman, Martin Ferguson: thanks for your help and personal support. And to my wonderful supporters in Lalor, including Terry Bracks, Henry Barlow and Fiona Richardson watching from the gallery today: I will do everything in my power to make you proud.
