- downer family
- Sir John William Downer, KCMG, KC (6 July 1843 – 2 August 1915) was the Premier of South Australia twice, from 16 June 1885 until 11 June 1887 and again from 1892 to 1893. He was the first of four Australian politicians from the Downer family dynasty.Born in Adelaide, John Downer (the son of Henry Downer who came to South Australia in 1838 and his wife Jane, née Field) was educated on a scholarship at St Peter's College, Adelaide, where he was a brilliant student.[1] Later (23 March 1867), he was admitted to the bar, and soon won a reputation as being among Adelaide's most talented and eloquent lawyers.
- Sir Alexander Russell "Alick" Downer, KBE (7 April 1910 – 30 March 1981) was an Australian politician and diplomat. He was a member of the House of Representatives between 1949 and 1963, representing the Liberal Party, and served as Minister for Immigration in the Menzies Government. He was later High Commissioner to the United Kingdom from 1963 to 1972.Downer was born in Adelaide as a member of the influential Downer family. His father, Sir John Downer, was a Premier of South Australia and a member of the Australian Senate.[1] His mother was Una Russell, daughter of Henry Chamberlain Russell, who remarried when Alick was 8, to D’Arcy Wentworth Addison. Sir Alick's son, Alexander Downer, also a Liberal politician, was Leader of the Opposition 1994–95 and Foreign Minister of Australia 1996–2007. He was educated at Geelong Grammar School and at the University of Oxford, where he graduated in economics and political science. He was the godfather of Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer, brother of Diana, Princess of Wales. The Earl's godmother was Queen Elizabeth II.

Morrison was born in Sydney and studied economic geography at the University of New South Wales. After graduating, he spent the majority of his career in tourism, working as Director of the New Zealand Office of Tourism and Sport from 1998 to 2000 and eventually becoming Managing Director of Tourism Australia from 2004 to 2006. He was also State Director of the New South Wales Liberal Party from 2000 to 2004. Morrison was first elected to the House of Representatives at the 2007 federal election, and was appointed to the frontbench after the 2010 federal election. Following the Liberal Party's election at the 2013 federal election, he was appointed to the Cabinet by Tony Abbott as Minister for Immigration and Border Protection.[2] In that capacity he was responsible for implementing Operation Sovereign Borders, which had been a significant policy proposal by the Liberals in opposition. He was later promoted to become Minister for Social Services at the end of 2014. Subsequently, when Malcolm Turnbull replaced Abbott as Prime Minister in September 2015, Morrison was appointed Treasurer of Australia.
- Morrison was born in Waverley, Sydney, New South Wales, the younger of two sons born to Marion (née Smith) and John Morrison. His father was a policeman who served on the Waverley Municipal Council for 16 years, including for a brief period as mayor.[6] Morrison's maternal grandfather was born in New Zealand.
- After graduating from university, Morrison worked as national policy and research manager for the Property Council of Australia from 1989 to 1995. He then moved into tourism, serving as deputy chief executive of the Australian Tourism Task Force and then general manager of the Tourism Council of Australia; the latter was managed by Bruce Baird, who he would eventually succeed in federal parliament. In 1998, Morrison moved to New Zealand to become director of the newly created Office of Tourism and Sport. He formed a close relationship with tourism minister Murray McCully, and was involved with the creation of the long-running "100% Pure New Zealand" campaign. In April 2000, Morrison returned to Australia to become state director of the Liberal Party in New South Wales. He oversaw the party's campaigns at the 2001 federal election and 2003 state election. In 2004, Morrison left that post to become the inaugural managing director of Tourism Australia, which had been created by the Howard Government. His appointment was controversial due to its openly political nature.[6] Morrison approved and defended the contentious "So where the bloody hell are you?" advertising campaign. He was sacked in 2006, apparently due to conflict with tourism minister Fran Bailey over the government's plans to further integrate the agency into the Australian Public Service.
- Simon John Birmingham (born 14 June 1974), an Australian politician, is a member of the Australian Senate representing South Australia as a member of the Liberal Party since 2007. Birmingham served as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for the Environment from 18 September 2013 then Assistant Minister for Education and Training in the Abbott Ministry from December 2014, before being promoted to Minister for Education and Training in the Turnbull Government from September 2015. Birmingham was named South Australia's Lions Club Youth of the Year in 1992[2] and awarded the Town of Gawler's Australia Day Young Citizen of the Year Award in 1993. He holds a Masters of Business Administration from the Adelaide Graduate School of Business, University of Adelaide. He began his career working as an electorate officer for Senator Robert Hill. In 1997 Birmingham moved from federal to state politics, working as a ministerial advisor to Joan Hall. Early in 2000 Birmingham moved to Canberra to become the national manager of public affairs for the Australian Hotels Association. In late 2001, Birmingham was appointed chief of staff to the South Australian state minister for tourism and innovation, Martin Hamilton-Smith. Following a change of government in 2002, Birmingham began work with the Winemakers' Federation of Australia where he remained until his appointment to the Senate in 2007.

- http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/047b7ab0-7643-11e5-a95a-27d368e1ddf7.html Gina Rinehart, Australia’s richest person, is finally poised to achieve her ambition and that of her late father, Lang Hancock, to develop, own and operate an iron ore mine. “This is the holy grail she has been aspiring to her whole life,” says Michael Yabsley, a former adviser, of the Roy Hill project that formally opens next month. “It’s Gina’s crowning glory.” The first ore exports from Roy Hill, 1,100km from Perth, will be a landmark moment for Hancock Prospecting, a private company controlled by the 61-year-old heiress who has earned the nickname “iron lady” as much for her uncompromising personality as the commodity that built her family’s fortune. Up to now, Hancock Prospecting has earned most of its revenues by claiming royalties on iron ore tenements — government permits for the exploration and development of land — discovered in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, which were developed by mining companies such as Rio Tinto. But by partnering with steelmakers in Japan, Taiwan and South Korea and executing the world’s largest mine financing deal, Mrs Rinehart is transforming a company founded 60 years ago by her prospector father into a rival of Rio, BHP Billiton and Brazil’s Vale. Following the biggest mining investment boom since the 1850s gold rush — a phenomenon driven by China’s rapacious appetite for steel to build its cities — these mining companies are now reining back investment and slashing costs. Mrs Rinehart, in contrast, is making the biggest gamble of her career. Critics say her prize project, in which she owns a 70 per cent stake, could not be opening at a worse time as a cooling Chinese economy dampens demand for the ore , the key ingredient in steel. Iron ore prices have fallen to $53 since peaking at $190 in 2011 and some analysts forecast Roy Hill will struggle to turn a profit. “It is a high hurdle given the significant upfront capital expenditure,” says Ivan Szpakowski, commodities analyst at Citi. The rout in commodity prices and slowdown in mining investment are hurting the Australian economy, which is growing at an annual rate of 2 per cent of gross domestic product, below its long-term trend of above 3 per cent. It is also eating into Mrs Rinehart’s fortune, which BRW magazine estimates at A$14bn ($10.1bn), down from a peak of A$29bn in 2012 when it listed the executive chairman of Hancock Prospecting as the world’s richest woman.

siblings James and Gretel Packer have secretly renegotiated their split
of the family empire in a fresh billion-dollar deal that simplifies
their financial relationship, as Mr Packer works on a potential $8.5
billion privatisation of the listed Crown Resorts casino group. Ms
Packer, who turns 50 in August, has emerged from the difficult
negotiations with stakes in the listed Crown Resorts, American listed
online real estate business Zillow, cash holdings and some interest in
Mr Packer’s private Consolidated Press Holdings.
Overnight in the US, Zillow told the market that Mr Packer, 48, cut his stake in the company in half to 2.3 per cent, with his sister now believed to hold what is the balance of his previous holding. Those shares were worth about $200 million when the new deal was completed on Christmas Eve last year.
That was almost 10 years to the day since their father Kerry Packer passed away from kidney failure on Boxing Day 2005. Ms Packer’s combined settlement with her brother is believed to be worth about $1.25 billion, the same amount negotiated in an original settlement between the siblings mid-last year. - 澳洲富豪帕克（James Packer）旗下皇冠度假集團（Crown Resorts）業務再有負面消息。外電報道指，皇冠度假似大幅收縮海外業務規模。除香港以外，其他亞洲城市的辦事處似乎已關閉或者無法聯絡，有關辦事處的資料亦於皇冠官方網站中刪除。orientaldaily 22jun17

But after becoming Treasurer in 2013, a series of poorly chosen phrases and an unpopular budget saw Mr Hockey's hopes of one day converting that exposure and becoming prime minister, dashed. In April 2014 he was roundly criticised for saying: "the poorest people either don't have cars or actually don't drive very far in many cases," when discussing the Government's desire to increase fuel tax.Initially he defended the comments and produced Australian Bureau of Statistics figures to back up his claim but several days later apologised, describing it as "insensitive". On Mother's Day in May 2015 Mr Hockey told Channel 9 mothers who claimed paid parental leave from their employers and the Government were "double dipping." A month later he was again accused of being out of touch by his opponents for advising people wanting to buy their first home to "get a good job that pays good money". Then, in August 2015, Mr Hockey was publicly criticised by some of his own colleaguesafter his friend, the author and journalist Peter FitzSimons, announced the Treasurer would spearhead the push for Australia to become a republic.

But the 84-year-old entrepreneur and Football Federation of Australia chairman quickly got to his feet, swept the grass from his hair and resumed his trophy presentation, to rounds of applause. The spectacular tumble followed by swift recovery is typical of the life-long toughness displayed by the shopping-centre mogul, who built Australia’s Westfield Group into an international property company after narrowly surviving the Nazi occupation of Hungary during the second world war. “Life has its ups and downs but you can only look forward,” says Mr Lowy over lunch in his office next to Sydney Tower, the tourism attraction emblazoned with his company’s logo. In the coming months, Mr Lowy has a bulging in-tray to address. After the controversial spin-off of the Australian and New Zealand operations of Westfield Group into a separate company called Scentre , a decision on where to domicile and list the international arm — dubbed WestfieldCorporation and led by Mr Lowy’s sons Steven and Peter as joint CEOs — remains to be settled. The US seems the likely destination. On top of that is a growing brouhaha over the FFA’s unsuccessful campaign for Australia to host the football World Cup in 2022. Mr Lowy, who led the bid, has been forced to deny a bribe was paid to Jack Warner, the former head of Concacaf, football’s governing body in North and Central America. The Lowy family, which owns 9.5 per cent of Westfield and 4.2 per cent of Scentre, must also deliver on an $11.8bn development pipeline that includes opening a flagship mall at New York’s World Trade Center this year and new shopping centres in London and Milan.

- Pauline Lee Hanson (née Seccombe, formerly Zagorski; born 27 May 1954) is an Australian politician who is the founder and leader of Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party (PHON). She is currently a Senator representing Queensland in the Parliament of Australia. Hanson first entered politics as a member of Ipswich City Council in 1994. She joined the Liberal Party of Australia in 1995 and was preselected for the Division of Oxley at the 1996 federal election, but was disendorsed shortly before the election. Although listed on the ballot paper as the Liberal Party candidate, she won Oxley as an independent. In 1997, Hanson co-founded Pauline Hanson's One Nation, a right-wing political party with a populist and conservative platform. She lost her seat at the 1998 federal election. After leaving federal parliament, Hanson contested several state and federal elections as the leader of One Nation, as the leader of Pauline Hanson's United Australia Party and as an independent. She was expelled from One Nation in 2002. A Brisbane District Court jury found Hanson guilty of electoral fraud in 2003 though the convictions were later overturned by three judges on the Queensland Court of Appeal. As a result of the convictions, Hanson spent 11 weeks in jail prior to the appeal being heard. Hanson rejoined One Nation in 2013, becoming leader again the following year. At the 2016 Australian federal election she was elected to the Senate, representing Queensland, together with three other senators of her party.

- Leslie Allan Murray AO (17 October 1938 – 29 April 2019) was an Australian poet, anthologist and critic. His career spanned over 40 years and he published nearly 30 volumes of poetry as well as two verse novels and collections of his prose writings. His poetry won many awards and he is regarded as "the leading Australian poet of his generation".Les Murray was born in Nabiac on the North Coast of New South Wales and grew up in the neighbouring district of Bunyah. He attended primary and early high school in Nabiac and then attended Taree High School. In 1957 he began study at the University of Sydney in the Faculty of Arts and joined the Royal Australian Navy Reserve to obtain a small income. Murray had a long career in poetry and literary journalism in Australia. When he was 38 years old, his Selected Poems was published by Angus & Robertson, alongside respected Australian poets such as Christopher Brennan, A. D. Hope, Kenneth Slessor and Judith Wright, signifying his emergence as a leading poet.
- In 1972, Murray was one of a group of Sydney activists who launched the Australian Commonwealth Party,[7]:144-145 and authored its unusually idealistic campaign manifesto. During the 1970s he opposed the New Poetry or "literary modernism" which emerged in Australia at that time, and was a major contributor to what is known in Australian poetry circles as "the poetry wars". "One of his complaints against post-modernism was that it removed poetry from widespread, popular readership, leaving it the domain of a small intellectual clique".[6] As American reviewer Albert Mobilio describes it, Murray "waged a campaign for accessibility". In 1995, he became involved in the Demidenko/Darville affair, in which it was discovered that Helen Darville, who had won several major literary awards for her novel The Hand That Signed the Paper was not the daughter of a Ukrainian immigrant, as she had said, but the child of English migrants. Murray said of Darville that "She was a young girl, and her book mightn't have been the best in the world, but it was pretty damn good for a girl of her age [20 when she wrote it]. And her marketing strategy of pretending to be a Ukrainian might have been unwise, but it sure did expose the pretensions of the multicultural industry". Biographer Alexander writes that in his poem "A Deployment of Fashion", Murray linked "the attack on Darville with the wider phenomenon of attacks on those judged outcasts (from Lindy Chamberlain to Pauline Hanson) by society’s fashion police, the journalists, academics and others who form opinion (p.282).[10] In 1996, he was embroiled in a controversy about whether Australian historian Manning Clark had received and regularly worn the medal of the Order of Lenin (p 276).

- Boyd Dunlop Morehead (24 August 1843 – 30 October 1905) was a politician in Queensland, Australia. He was Premier of Queensland from November 1888 to June 1890.Boyd Morehead was born in Sydney, New South Wales, the second son and child of two sons and two daughters (and the only son to reach full adulthood) of businessman Robert Archibald Alison Morehead and his wife Helen Buchanan, née Dunlop. He was educated at Sydney Grammar School and matriculated at University of Sydney in 1860. He, however, did not continue at the university but joined the Bank of New South Wales, where he obtained some training in finance. He then entered the service of the Australian Investments Companyand as a station inspector visited Queensland in 1866. In 1873 he founded the well-known firm of B. D. Morehead and Company, general merchants, and stock and station agents, which afterwards became Moreheads Limited.The 1893 financial crisis caused heavy losses for Morehead's share investments. Also in 1893 he declined the agent-generalship. On 10 June 1896 Morehead was re-appointed to the Queensland Legislative Council.[3] He remained a member until his death on 30 October 1905.
- His sister Margaret Goff née Morehead was the mother of Helen Lyndon Goff, who achieved fame as P. L. Travers, the author of Mary Poppins.

- King O'Malley (3/4 July 1854 – 20 December 1953) was an Australian politician. He was a member in the South Australian House of Assembly from 1896 to 1899, and the Australian House of Representatives from 1901 to 1917. O'Malley was also Minister for Home Affairs in the second and third Fisher Labor ministry. O'Malley was a very visible figure in Australian public life during the early years of Federation. He is particularly remembered for his role in the establishment of the Commonwealth Bank, the selection of Canberra as the national capital, and taking the 'U' out of the name of the Australian Labour Party.O'Malley claimed all his life (in public at least) to have been born at the Stanford Farm in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada, which would have made him a British subject, but it is more likely that he was born at his parents' farm in Valley Falls, Kansas, United States. Late in his life, in a letter to the widow of the former Labor MP James Catts, O'Malley wrote "I am an American". According to O'Malley, his parents were William and Mary (King) O'Malley.
- As a teetotaller he was responsible for the highly unpopular ban on alcohol in the Australian Capital Territory. He could also claim credit for beginning the building of the Trans-Australian Railway from Port Augusta to Perth. O'Malley also agitated for the establishment of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, a state-owned savings and investment bank although, contrary to his later claims, he was not the bank's sole creator. He later wrote that he had led a "torpedo squad" in Caucus to force a reluctant Cabinet to establish the bank, but historians do not accept this. Prime Minister Fisher was the bank's principal architect. Partly to allay fears of "funny money" aroused by O'Malley's populist rhetoric, Fisher ensured that the bank would be run on firmly "sound money" principles, and the bank as established did not provide the easy credit for farmers that the radicals desired. O'Malley's other legacy was the spelling of "Labor" in the Australian Labor Party's title in the American style. He was a spelling reformenthusiast and persuaded the party that "Labor" was a more "modern" spelling than "Labour". Although the American spelling has still not become established in Australia, the Labor Party has preserved the spelling.

La Trobe was a strong supporter of religious, cultural and educational institutions. During his time as superintendent and lieutenant-governor he oversaw the establishment of the Botanical Gardens,[3] and provided leadership and support to the formation of entities such as the Mechanic's Institute,[4] the Royal Melbourne Hospital, the Royal Philharmonic, the Melbourne Cricket Ground[5][6] and the University of Melbourne. La Trobe was the nephew of British architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe.Charles La Trobe was born in London, the son of Christian Ignatius Latrobe, a leader of the Moravian Church, from a family of French Huguenot descent, whose mother was a member of the Moravian Church born in the United States. He was educated in England and later spent time in Switzerland[7] and was active in mountaineering.

- Peter Dodds McCormick (1834? – 30 October 1916), a Scottish-born schoolteacher, was the composer of the Australian national anthem "Advance Australia Fair". Born the son of a seaman at Port Glasgow, Scotland, he arrived in Sydney (at that time the principal city of the British colony of New South Wales) in 1855.[1] He worked as a joiner for "some years".[1] Details of his earlier years, prior to his arrival in Australia, are shadowy. He spent most of his life employed by the NSW Education Department. In 1863 he was appointed teacher-in charge of at St Mary's National School and went on to teach at the Presbyterian denominational school in the Sydney suburb of Woolloomooloo in 1867. He then moved to Dowling Plunkett Street Public School in 1878 where he remained until 1885. McCormick was heavily involved in the Scottish Presbyterian Church and was active in a number of community and benevolent organisations. He began his involvement with Sydney's St Stephen's Church as a stonemason, working on the now demolished Phillip Street Church (where Martin Place now stands). The Rev Hugh Darling was so impressed with his singing on the job he asked him to join the choir. McCormick's musical ability led him to becoming the precentor of the Presbyterian Church of NSW, which gave him the opportunity to conduct very large massed choirs. He was also convenor of the Presbyterian Church Assembly's Committee on Psalmody. Also a talented composer, he published around 30 patriotic and Scottish songs, some of which became very popular. Included in his collected works was Advance Australia Fair, which was first performed in public by Andrew Fairfax at the St Andrew's Day concert of the Highland Society on 30 November 1878.

Paul Makucha's venture plans included a nuclear-powered ship, anti-drug use water additives, the airborne delivery of water and a floating desalination plant using nuclear power to melt ice anywhere in the world. In the NSW Supreme Court on Tuesday, Justice John Sackar granted various orders sought by Sydney Water, including the compensation of $293,000. The sum related to 20 invoices - including one purportedly for the sale of two air-conditioned site offices and an ablution block, but in reality were for Mr Makucha's Hilton Hotel bill of $19,500. The legal proceedings followed agreements Mr Makucha made with Edward Kenneth Harvey, Sydney Water's property asset manager from July 2006 until he was dismissed in January 2010. The judge said during that time Mr Harvey also authorised the payment of the invoices.

Walter was in his late twenties and a successful trader, married to rachel, who was born in japan.

- Phuong Canh Ngo (Vietnamese: Ngô Cảnh Phương) (born 1958) is a Vietnamese former businessman and politician who was convicted of ordering the killing of Australian MP John Newman on 5 September 1994, a crime which has been described as Australia's first political assassination (though not its first murder of a parliamentarian: in 1921 another Labor MP in the NSW Legislative Assembly, Percy Brookfield, had been slain in Riverton, north of Adelaide, by a psychotic emigre). Ngo was born in South Vietnam to wealthy parents and following university became a school teacher. Following the fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam War, his family had their assets confiscated. Ngo made several unsuccessful attempts to flee the country and was jailed several times. In January 1981 he made his 13th attempt, which was successful, and he arrived in Australia via Malaysia as a refugee in 1982. He rose rapidly in local politics. On 8 October 1987, he was elected to the Fairfield Council making him the first Vietnamese born Australian to enter local government. The following year he partnered Rodney Adler to set up Asia Press Pty Ltd which published Dan Viet, a Vietnamese language newspaper. As a City Councillor, Ngo worked to help members of the Vietnamese community and after arranging for Adler to invest $1 million, led the redevelopment of the local community centre, the Mekong Club. He was subsequently asked to be the club's president. From July 1990 to June 1993 he served as a Commissioner of the NSW Ethnic Affairs Commission ([3]). In 1990 Ngo was elected deputy Mayor of Fairfield. In 1991, Ngo stood as an independent for the seat of Cabramatta which he lost to Labor's John Newman. After his friend and council ally, Nick Lalich approached Federal MP Ted Grace for Ngo to join the ALP, Grace arranged a meeting with Senator Graham Richardson and Leo McLeay, Federal MP for Watson and Speaker of the House of Representatives, who decided that if promoted to be a member of Legislative Council (MLC), Ngo could be a potential "counter" to the Liberal party's Asian MLC Helen Sham-Ho. He was invited to join the Labor Party (ALP) and the dormant Canley Vale branch of the ALP was re-activated which, although Ngo agreed not to challenge Newman for preselection, put him in direct competition with Newman who ran the Canley Heights branch.

FitzGerald joined the Australian Public Service in the Department of External Affairs in 1961.[5] He learnt to speak Chinese at RAAF Point Cook.[6] He arrived in Hong Kong in 1962 on official duties, which he described as the "centre of China-watching".[4] He enjoyed his time there immensely, but did feel uncomfortable with the city being still being a British colony. He resigned from the external affairs department in 1966 when he disagreed with the then government's support for the United States' military intervention during the Vietnam War and also the government's refusal to recognise the Communist government of China. FitzGerald received his PhD from the Australian National University.[5] During his studies, in 1968, he visited Quanzhou, Shanghai and several other cities on a student tour at the height of the Chinese Cultural Revolution—the streets were filled with posters, loud speakers and truck-loads of drummers broadcasting to pedestrians.[4] His thesis discussed contemporary China’s relations with overseas Chinese. In 1971, FitzGerald was appointed Fellow in Far Eastern Studies at the Australian National University.
- In 1971, FitzGerald, as China adviser, was a key member of a political delegation to China led by then Labor opposition leader Gough Whitlam.[8] The delegation was there to discuss diplomatic relations. While Australian Ambassador to China between 1973 and 1976, FitzGerald and his staff were sending reports back to Australia forecasting the economic transformation of China, predicting that China would become the region's dominant power and transition into a period of 10%+ growth.[5] His brief whilst ambassador was to create a relationship between Australia and China.[4] His first official ambassadorial meeting was with then Chinese Foreign Minister Ji Pengfei in April 1973.[10] In June 1976, Prime Minister Fraser visited China.
