\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The lecture will run from 6 &#8211; 7.15 pm, followed by networking and refreshments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 1893, Sir John Quick has an honoured place in the history of Australian democracy, arising from his key role in the design, of a democratic pathway to the achievement of Federation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was also co-author with Robert Garran, of the foundational study of the federal movement and constitution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet Quick\u2019s career also reminds us of the racially restrictive features of Australia\u2019s emerging democracy in the nineteenth century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a young politician in 1880, he had initiated a bill to restrict the voting rights of Chinese migrants in Victorian elections \u2013 \u2018a vindictive proceeding\u2019, said the Bendigo Advertiser. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This lecture will explore some aspects of the past and present of Australian democracy, by examining its double-sidedness as a system designed by and for white British men; that nonetheless provided openings for wider participation and influence by marginalised groups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While much has changed since Quick\u2019s time, similar tensions and possibilities remain at the heart of our democracy \u2013 a system that ostensibly welcomes wide participation while still imposing formal and informal restrictions that undermine its quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div
