The US dollar and its challenges
Since World War Two, the United States dollar became and remains the global reserve currency. This status in international trade and investment has given the US the ability to exercise hegemonic power around the world. In recent years, there have been attempts by competitor nations notably China, Russia, and Iran to replace the dollar's exclusivity in bilateral trade. Their intention is to undermine the ability of the US to continue as the world'…
Quest for justice
This article examines Islamism as phenomenon and category in the context of the study of religion. It enquires about the experience of Islam in modernity at the juncture of Islam, justice, and civility in order to problematise the discourse on Islamism as political Islam. The argument is made that Islam is not a political religion, but a religion that has historically seen political power as part of its religious project. Further, that Islamism a…
Reconceptualising localised Cold Wars in southern Africa
This article aims to examine how localised conditions contributed to the shaping and maintenance of the Cold War in southern Africa during the last three decades of the Cold War. In particular, its focus is on the period 1961 – 1989, during which ‘brushfre’ conficts erupted in the Portuguese colonial territories of Angola and Mozambique, in Rhodesia (and later Zimbabwe), South-West Africa (now Namibia) and the Republic of South Africa. The result…
The Indonesian Coup and Mass Killings, 1965-1967
http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-7976.2016v23n36p334This article explores how the local situation – politically, economically and socially – contributed to the occurrence in Indonesia of two crucial and interlinked Cold War events, the Indonesian coup and massacre. The article explains how an Indonesian army general, Suharto, was able to utilise Cold War narratives to instigate anti-communist fervour, which resulted in the massacre of more than hal…
As Good as Cash All the Time
The rabbit industry was a boon for thousands of workers in the bush of south-eastern Australia between 1870 and 1950. While different forms of trapping required experience in specific methods to maximise income, little capital was required to get started. Contrary to their depiction as precarious proletarians constantly falling prey to the vicissitudes of climate, season and global markets, many rural workers were successful rabbiters enjoying hi…
Wobblies on the Wallaby
This article draws attention to the dominant but neglected rural dimension of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) in Australia. We argue that wandering bush workers formed the bulk of the IWW in Australia, whereas most studies have emphasised the role of the IWW’s Sydney “Local.” In overturning the dominant interpretation of the composition and character of the IWW in Australia, this article also shines light on an under-examined demographi…
“Keep Government Out of Business”
During the early 1930s the private trading banks came under sustained attack from sections of the Australian Labor Party and the Country Party, and from supporters of Major C.H. Douglas. Repeated calls for bank nationalisation or “socialisation of credit” or “social credit” heightened tensions within the banks and conservative political circles. In response, the banks secretly funded a nationwide campaign in support of the Lyons government in the…
Land, life and labour in the sacrifice zone
This article provides a case study analysis of the social, economic and ecological impacts of open-cut coal mining in the Upper Hunter region of New South Wales (NSW) from the beginning of the resources boom in the early 1990s to the present. The article draws on secondary and grey literature relevant to open-cut coal mining in the Upper Hunter region to explore how the nature of the extractive process and its integrated logistics of ‘the coal ch…
Land, Life and Labour in the Sacrifice Zone
The Mobilisation of Capital behind 'the Battle for Freedom
During 1944-49 the Sydney Banks and the Institute of Public Affairs (NSW) waged a covert war against the Australian Labor Party, particularly the federal Labor governments led by John Curtin (1941-45) and Ben Chifl ey (1945-49). The Sydney Banks and the IPA opposed federal Labor's legislative programme, especially its regulation of the banking sector, and its vision for post-war Australia. Instead of openly leading the public fight against the go…
The Blindside Flick
The issue of race was virtually beyond the touchline in Australian rugby league before the 1960s. It was a white man's game. Institutionalised racism meant that few Aboriginal men played rugby league at the highest professional level. It is now presumed that race and racism has no place in a game where these questions have been historically 'out of bounds'. The dearth of critical writing in rugby league history indicates that racism in the sport …
Joris Ivens and the Role of Film in the Indonesian Independence Movement
From September 1945 to November 1946, the Singapore-based British Southeast Asia Command under Vice-Admiral (later Lord) Louis Mountbatten assumed responsibility for taking the Japanese surrender in Java. A similar role was assumed by the British in taking the Japanese surrender in southern Vietnam. Indonesian and Vietnamese nationalists viewed both events - correctly - as a cover for the return to power of, respectively, Dutch and French colonia…
Red‐hunting in Sydney's Chinatown
The Chinese radicals upheld the ideal of the Chinese communist revolution even though few Chinese in Australia shared their revolutionary zeal. Because of this ideological division, organisations within Chinatown became cultural expressions and this had a significant effect on Sydney's Chinese community
The Maoist conflict in Nepal
What have been the consequences of the Maoists’ decade-long campaign in Nepal? The rebellion that emerged in 1996 can be understood as symptomatic of the nation's struggle for democracy with its origins in the nation's social and economic inequalities, and in the failure of parliamentary democracy in Nepal. However the conflict has important regional and international dimensions. The conflict has been disconcerting for China and India, particular…
The Political Economy of a Natural Disaster
Douglas Evelyn Darby, MP
The conservative politician, Douglas Darby's long service to the extreme Right in Australia spanned almost the entirety of the Cold War. Darby's reputation as a powerful advocate of right-wing causes from strikebreaking to Captive Nations and the war in Vietnam was unsurpassed. Despite this advocacy, a study of Darby's political career suggests that he remained largely isolated and powerless on the Right
The Department of External Affairs, the ABC & Reporting of the Indonesian Crisis 1965–1969
The Department of External Affairs took a keen interest in the manner in which Radio Australia reported events in Indonesia throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Radio Australia's high signal strength gave it a massive listening audience in the region. The attempted coup in Indonesia of 1965, its immediate aftermath, and the protracted power struggle that followed, triggered a period of cooperation and conflict between the Department and the Australian…

This conference organised by the fledgling Brisbane Labour History Association with the assistance of the Queensland Council of Unions was long overdue. If its organisers were inspired by the apparent success of the earlier Sydney Labour History Conference, which traversed similar themes and issues, the Brisbane show emphasised how different its historical context and political experiences were. The conference participants did not engage in amnes…
