Labor and the Anzac Legend, 1915-45
This article reconsiders the Australian Labor Party’s relationship with the so-called “Anzac Legend.” Examining the period between the first anniversary of the Gallipoli landings and World War II’s conclusion, it argues that ALP and mainstream union attitudes towards Anzac are more nuanced than historians have typically allowed. According to received historiographical wisdom, the conservative “hijack” of Australian nationalism during the latter s…
‘A Political … as well as a Propagandist Movement’
The Australian Labor Party's emergence during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century has been a well-documented, if narrowly concerned subject of enquiry. Historians have traced the institutional growth of the federal and state parties, chronicled dramatic incidents such as Labor's split over conscription during World War I, debated its ideological trajectory or lack thereof, and biographically eulogised its leadership. Despite the emerg…
Reinterpreting the Second Fisher Government
At the April 1910 general election, the federal Labor Party, under the leadership of Andrew Fisher, became the first party of its type to form a majority government anywhere in the world. Yet the second Fisher Labor government of 1910-13 has been largely neglected by labour historians and political scientists alike. The task of this introduction and broader thematic edition is twofold. First, it explains, and places in global and comparative cont…
Conscription is Not Abhorrent to Laborites and Socialists
Historical accounts of the 1916-17 conscription referendums have tended to portray the Australian labour movement's anti-conscriptionism as a natural phenomenon. Prime Minister Billy Hughes and other Laborite pro-conscriptionists were 'rats' who had acted against the anti-militaristic creed of the working class and its major political representative, the Australian Labor Party (ALP). By contrast, this article builds upon recent work in the field …
Labour and Politics
Labour-in-politics was once the most privileged genre of Australian labour history. Studies of the Australian Labor Party, together with biographies of the party’s leading lights, dominated much of the Old Left-influenced scholarship until the late 1960s. From the 1970s onwards, however, the rise of social history and the highly-charged attacks of the New Left challenged such party-political dominance. Such histories were increasingly written by …
“Never Hitherto Seen Outside of a Zoo or a Menagerie”
Since the early 1980s, “linguistic” and “cultural” influences have shaped the study of history and the broader social sciences worldwide. In Australia these influences have developed more slowly than in comparable countries such as Great Britain or the United States. Yet the colourful language and “culture wars” of Australian politics have long been key ingredients of political history's appeal in and outside of the academy. Many practitioners pe…
Truth and Time Against the World's Wrongs
In a 1920 book celebrating the famed labour movement cartoonist Claude Marquet, his long-time editor, Henry Boote, told of how, 'every week tens of thousands of men and women derived from [his] vivid imagery keen satire instruction on all the vital questions'. This was a compliment Boote might have paid to a number Marquet's cartooning comrades: the Brisbane Worker duo of Montagu Scott and Jim Case, or the well-known London-based Australian Will …
Confusion The Making of the Australian Two-Party System
In Confusion, some of Australia's foremost political historians including Judith Brett and Stuart Macintyre revisit the seminal moment when liberals threw in their lot with the conservatives. In May 1909, Alfred Deakin, the radical liberal doyen, struck an agreement for a controversial 'fusion' with the anti-Labor factions, with the new grouping later adopting the name 'Liberal Party'. After a heated campaign, Labor won the 1910 election, forming…
A Terrible Monster
During the 1880s the beginnings of an important shift occurred within the language of Australian labour. The relatively benign 'employer' of Australian colonial folklore began his metamorphosis into the exploitative and villainous 'capitalist'. The little analysed 1885-86 Melbourne Wharf Labourers' strike was an important example and practical catalyst for such discourses. This article primarily seeks to redress the neglect of this important stri…
Fat Man v. 'The People
Scholarly interest in the role of labour movement intellectuals and institutions in the formation of social and political identities is currently high. Yet the dominant historiography has not considered the role of labour intellectuals in narrating and manipulating the symbolic forms of oppositional identities. This article considers the origins, purpose and effect of perhaps the most famous labour villain, the capitalist 'Fat Man'. A key symboli…
John Howard's Hegemony of Values
Prime Minister John Howard's rhetorical appropriation of egalitarian ideals, such as 'mateship', 'battler' and the 'fair go', are pertinent examples of the intersection of cultural and electoral politics. Howard has successfully recast shibboleths of the Australian Left, presenting them as currently (and historically) individualist and, ultimately, politically conservative. As Judith Brett suggests, Howard's opponents have been 'misled' by his se…
"The Spirit of Sturdy Independence"
Empirical and theoretical studies have shown the development of both the idea and practice of Australian citizenship to be incremental and ad hoc. However, insufficient attention has been placed on the role political language has historically played in the formation and legitimation of such an ideal of citizenship. I contend that language has, in the absence of definition and explication, vastly shaped our past and present imaginings of the citiz…
Mateship
The mateship conference was held to address the issue of Australian Values, which was diverse and remarkably coherent. The ethos of mateship in war, workplace and politics were considered and gender was a recurring focus of the debates
Rethinking Labor Tradition
This argument seeks to contribute to the ongoing theoretical discourse surrounding the role of class and language within the practice of labour and social history. A series of inclusive (often denoted as 'bottom-up') studies has added undoubted richness to the fabric of such histories. Yet such scholarly developments have (arguably unfairly) disconnected histories of institutions - for our purposes, the Australian Labor Party - from processes of …
Battlers, refugees and the republic
John Howard's language of battlers, elites and refugees draws on the historic imagining of citizenship by emphasising values. In responding to the issue of refugees, he contradictorily and pragmatically used his version of the language of Australian citizenship as the target of threat and a source of stability which involved displaying empathy and discernment for the imagined collection of middle Australia, but it lacked compassion for the groups…
The language of Australian citizenship
The study of Australian citizenship could no longer be referred to as neglected. Empirical and theoretical studies have shown the development of both the idea and practice to be incremental and ad hoc: a source of inclusion and exclusion. Historians and political scientists have shown how citizenship was developed through studying legislative documents, constitutional devices, common law interpretation, and administrative practice. Whilst many ha…
