Quotes by Judith Brett (?)

“The Australian democracy has come to look upon the State as a vast public utility, whose duty is to provide the greatest happiness for the greatest number... To the Australian the State means collective power at the service of individualistic rights' and therefore he sees no opposition between his individualism and his reliance on governments.!3”
― Judith Brett, From Secret Ballot to Democracy Sausage: How Australia Got Compulsory Voting

“South Australia's final electoral innovation is the best known of all: giving the vote to women in 1894, second in the world after New Zealand the year before. Women ratepayers had been able to vote in South Australian local government elections since 1861, as had their Victorian ratepaying sisters since 1854, but not those who owned no property.”
