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…
“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…
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…

From Red to White
In the late nineteenth century unions were formed and flourished in rural Australia, supporting radicalism, socialism and industrial militancy, and linked with what appeared to be an ever-stronger labour movement. In the twentieth century there was a significant shift, with right-wing organisations, political parties and farming movements developing that were diametrically opposed to the labour movement; by the end of the century the Australian L…
Unions in a Contrary World
A City to Struggle in
In 1977 the Wagga Wagga branch of the Australian Labor Party supported a team of 'Progressive' candidates, many of whom were party members, in the Wagga Wagga City Council elections of that year. They did so because they wanted to' dominate the council'. This call for domination was a result of the lack of authority and influence enjoyed by the labour movement generally over the preceding 37 years. This paper charts the activities of the Wagga Wa…

The Liberal Party of Australia and the Australian Women’s Movement Against Socialisation 1947–54
During the Liberal Party of Australia’s formative stages in the 1940s and early 1950s, the Federal and New South Wales Divisions of the Party tended to ignore and/or down play the activities of their women members and office bearers. The gulf that existed between the theory and practice in the Party was further highlighted by the formation and rapid growth of the Australian Women’s Movement Against Socialisation, a right wing organisation that wa…
From Subject to Citizen
This important, theoretically sophisticated work explores the concepts of liberal democracy, citizenship and rights. Grounded in critical original research, the book examines Australia's political and legal institutions, and traces the history and future of citizenship and the state in Australia. The central theme is that making proofs of belonging to the national culture a precondition of citizenship is inappropriate for a multicultural society …
Hysteria in the Bush
Exterminate the Traitors
Throughout the twentieth century, rural Australia has been a bastion of conservatism. Consequently it has been difficult for labour activists or those of the Left to gain more than a foothold in rural centres. Activists and labour organisations were tolerated as long as they did not challenge the accepted norms of behaviour or the rural ?lites. This article looks at the attempts of union and Left activists to cement a working class ethos in Wagga…

BHP, the Newcastle SteelWorks' Management and the 1945 Steel Strike
My interpretation of the 1943 lockout1 emphasised the way the Broken Hill Proprietary Company Limited's (BHP) management, in particular the Newcastle Steelworks' (Steelworks) management never ceased to exploit every opportunity to uphold managerial prerogative against the growing power of the trade unions, especially the Federated Ironworkers' Association (FIA). Further, I argued BHP believed in its right to regain absolute control over the emplo…
Reduced Worktime and the Management of Production
BHP, the Intransigent Rank and File and the 1943 Lockout at the Newcastle Steelworks
On 15 December 1943 the Broken Hill Proprietary Company Limited (BHP) began to retrench employees from its Newcastle Steelworks (Steelworks). Three days later it ignored an order from the New South Wales Industrial Commission (Industrial Commission) to re-employ all workers and commenced a lockout. The company had chosen to follow this path in an attempt to regain absolute control of the workplace. BHP had seen its powerful position undermined by…
Protect the Newcastle Steelworks
five men by the Broken Hill Proprietary Company Limited (BHP) at its Newcastle Steelworks (the Steelworks) following the 1940 Miners' strike. These men were not re-employed because they were either trade union activists or members of the Communist Party of Australia (CPA). The directive to dismiss the communists originated from the Investigation Branch, a section of the Attorney-General's Department. Available evidence shows that the Investigatio…
