The Palace Letters to Sir William Deane
In May 2022, the High Court of Australia ruled that the correspondence between Governor-General Sir John Kerr and Queen Elizabeth II constituted Commonwealth records and not ‘personal’ records as the National Archives of Australia (NAA) claimed. The NAA held similar correspondence between the Queen and six other Governors-General but did not release it for almost two years, much of it redacted. A freedom-of-information (FOI) request revealed the …
Critical Archival Encounters and the Evolving Historiography of the Dismissal of the Whitlam Government
Gough Whitlam was deeply committed to the preservation of history, and keenly attuned to the importance of the documentary record in the writing of it. For Whitlam, the written record — the contemporaneous documentary record of government activity — was central to the production of historical knowledge and the “verification” of history. As he reflected on the release of his government's 1975 Cabinet papers, “the publication of these records confi…
A transforming sentiment in this country’
Gough Whitlam's Labor government came to office in December 1972 with a vast and transformative reform agenda, at the heart of which was a fundamental policy shift in Aboriginal affairs away from assimilation and toward self‐determination, described by Whitlam as; ‘Aboriginal communities deciding the pace and nature of their future development as significant components within a diverse Australia’. Whitlam's commitment to self‐determination reflec…
Post‐War Reconstruction and the New World Order
Gough Whitlam's father was one of Australia's most significant public servants. Deputy Crown Solicitor and Crown Solicitor at a time of great constitutional and international change, Frederick Whitlam maintained an unusually advanced perspective on the use of international instruments to protect rights and to expand powers of nationhood. Gough Whitlam's war‐time experiences in the Air Force, in particular during the referendum campaign to expand …
Social Cohesion in Australia
Australia's reputation as a successful large scale immigrant-receiving nation is well formed. In the latest wave, not only have millions of diverse people arrived in the post-war period from 1945 to a growing, high income, good employment economy; but the society absorbing them has remained stable and cohesive. This is not to say that it has been entirely plain sailing - sensitive debate, isolated interethnic violence, and the degree of migrant g…

Counter‐Terrorism and the Criminalisation of Politics
This paper details the threats to civil liberties in Australia attendant upon rushed legislative efforts (during 2002) to deal with international terrorism. It is therefore indicative of the dangers of opportunistic political responses in countries which have not incurred terrorism directly and which may need more sustained debate about the nature and appropriateness of unprecedented and extra‐judicial powers. The potential for the criminalisatio…

Beyond Terrorism
First the verdict then the trial’
The increasing use of electronic surveillance by police and intelligence agencies and the increasing use of non‐judicial investigations, has seen a highly politicised and largely unaccountable form of criminal investigation develop in Australia. Allegations raised in the media against Justice Lionel Murphy in 1984 and the subsequent two and half year investigation process introduced many of the key components of these developments into the Austra…
Asio and the Security State
In December 1986 the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Act (1979) was substantially amended by the current Labor government. Every substantive section in the existing Act was either amended, repealed or replaced in what was a thorough renegotiation and expansion of ASIO's special powers and a diminution of its traditional responsibility to the relevant minister. Take for example the new concept of 'security' as defined in the Act. Whe…
