Soft cover. Etat : Near Fine. 1st Edition. Feels unread. This book uncovers the hidden networks of influence behind the development of Kelburn, one of Wellington's most iconic suburbs. It focuses on the construction of the Wellington cable car, the establishment of Victoria University, and the political maneuverings of Richard "King Dick" Seddon, New Zealand's longest-serving Prime Minister. • Political Patronage: Bourke explores how Seddon's Liberal government was closely tied to a group of Irish ex-goldminers turned businessmen—dubbed the "Kelly Gang"—who wielded significant influence in Wellington. • Business and Liquor Trade: These men, many of whom became brewers and hotel owners, formed a powerful commercial network that shaped the city's development. • Media and Power: The book details the group's support for the struggling Liberal newspaper New Zealand Times, and their role in undermining political rival Sir Robert Stout. • Urban Development: It traces how Kelburn was transformed from rugged hillside to a prestigious suburb, with the cable car and university serving as symbols of progress and elite ambition. • Archival Revelations: Bourke draws on previously unknown sources and original archives to expose the interlocking interests of politics, business, and family.…

Soft Covers. Etat : VG+. No Jacket. 1st. A few passages from the back cover notes on this book will convey its content, intent and scope. The opening line says "This new historical study reveals the hidden patronage and interlocking political, business and family interests behind the construction of Wellington;'s iconic cable car." Late in 1898 legislation authorised this project, however, Bourke's "study" reaches further to reveal "secret links between Seddon's (King Dick) Liberal government and a small coterie of West Coast business friends." This was made up of Irishmen who had moved to Wellington where they became a powerful business clique. (Seddon held the parliamentary seat of Westland, on (the West Coast, becoming Premier in 1893.) The book also covers a number of political/business events and leadership rivalry, in NZ at that time, including how the Kelly Gang , as the Irish combine became known, ".used their considerable financial resources to keep their friend Richard Seddon in power, and how he in turn rewarded their loyalty with numerous favours." These, the author concludes included the cable car construction and associated city development. The book is sub-titled "Richard Seddon and Political Patronage" and it broke new ground in looking back at historic "mulifarious operations in Wellington." First edition of 2008 by Hit or Miss Publishing, 256 pages including four appendices, one a chart of the interlocking shareholdings of the major personalities, abbreviations, footnotes, bibliography and index, illustrated throughout with b/w photos, maps/plans, document reproductions, contemporary cartoons.
