  • (WA) from 1938 to 1980 and Its Role in the Cultural Life of Perth
    The Fellowship of Australian Writers (WA) from 1938 to 1980 and its role in the cultural life of Perth. Patricia Kotai-Ewers Bachelor of Arts, Master of Philosophy (UWA) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Murdoch University November 2013 ABSTRACT The Fellowship of Australian Writers (WA) from 1938 to 1980 and its role in the cultural life of Perth. By the mid-1930s, a group of distinctly Western Australian writers was emerging, dedicated to their own writing careers and the promotion of Australian literature. In 1938, they founded the Western Australian Section of the Fellowship of Australian Writers. This first detailed study of the activities of the Fellowship in Western Australia explores its contribution to the development of Australian literature in this State between 1938 and 1980. In particular, this analysis identifies the degree to which the Fellowship supported and encouraged individual writers, promoted and celebrated Australian writers and their works, through publications, readings, talks and other activities, and assesses the success of its advocacy for writers’ professional interests. Information came from the organisation’s archives for this period; the personal papers, biographies, autobiographies and writings of writers involved; general histories of Australian literature and cultural life; and interviews with current members of the Fellowship in Western Australia. These sources showed the early writers utilising the networks they developed within a small, isolated society to build a creative community, which welcomed artists and musicians as well as writers. The Fellowship lobbied for a wide raft of conditions that concerned writers, including free children’s libraries, better rates of payment and the establishment of the Australian Society of Authors.

  • A Writer's Calendar
    A WRITER’S CALENDAR Compiled by J. L. Herrera for my mother and with special thanks to Rose Brown, Peter Jones, Eve Masterman, Yvonne Stadler, Marie-France Sagot, Jo Cauffman, Tom Errey and Gianni Ferrara INTRODUCTION I began the original calendar simply as a present for my mother, thinking it would be an easy matter to fill up 365 spaces. Instead it turned into an ongoing habit. Every time I did some tidying up out would flutter more grubby little notes to myself, written on the backs of envelopes, bank withdrawal forms, anything, and containing yet more names and dates. It seemed, then, a small step from filling in blank squares to letting myself run wild with the myriad little interesting snippets picked up in my hunting and adding the occasional opinion or memory. The beginning and the end were obvious enough. The trouble was the middle; the book was like a concertina — infinitely expandable. And I found, so much fun had the exercise become, that I was reluctant to say to myself, no more. Understandably, I’ve been dependent on other people’s memories and record- keeping and have learnt that even the weightiest of tomes do not always agree on such basic ‘facts’ as people’s birthdays. So my apologies for the discrepancies which may have crept in. In the meantime — Many Happy Returns! Jennie Herrera 1995 2 A Writer’s Calendar January 1st: Ouida J. D. Salinger Maria Edgeworth E. M.

  • Pijaju Peter Skipper
    Peter Skipper c.1929 - 2007 Language Walmajarri / Juwaliny Skin Jangkarti Country Japingka Peter Skipper is a Juwaliny / Walmajarri man who was born 1929 in the Great Sandy Desert of Western Australia at a place called Japingka. Peter, a bushman, had his first contact with kartiya (whitemen) when he was a young man. Peter travelled with his young wife Jukuna and other relations who drifted away from their countries to cattle stations in the Southern Kimberley in the early 1950s. Peter, like many others who drifted away from their country worked on a cattle station. He worked as stockman for 20 years before moving his family to Fitzroy Crossing in the 1960s. They lived in the Old Mission area in Fitzroy Crossing. Other relations moved into the Old Mission so their children could attend the Mission School. Peter said,” I did my schooling out in the bush when I was a young man my father taught me”. Peter a strong man about his culture learnt how to drive a car and was taught how to read and write Walmajarri (Language). In 1986 Peter wrote two books in language which tell about his early life in the Great Sandy Desert. Peter is a leader of the Walmajarri people and a respected Aboriginal law man who still has a clear mind about names of his country. Peter started painting because he worries a lot about his country Japingka a jila (living waterhole). Japingka is a spiritual place, owners of the jila (living waterhole) would sing to make the rain come. People travelled long distances to practice their culture there.

  • Samuel Griffith Society Proceedings Vol 13
    Chapter Ten: What shall we do with ex-Governors-General? Sir David Smith, KCVO, AO “As for further appointments after retirement, I take a narrow view that for an Australian the Governor-Generalship is the apex. There is no office higher than it and one should not go below it. An apex is the wrong shape to be a stepping stone”.1 Once upon a time our Governors-General came from Britain and returned home at the end of their tours of duty, never to be heard of again, at least not in the context of Australian public life. Today those who are appointed to that high office are distinguished Australians who continue to live among us, either immediately upon stepping down or after a brief sojourn overseas. Hitherto they have returned to their home States, but our latest former Governor-General has retired to live in Canberra, just down the road from Yarralumla. The question of what, if anything, we should do with them after they leave Government House has never been considered in public policy terms, so far as I am aware, and such precedents as we have are ad hoc, contradictory and unsatisfactory. Our present Governor-General is the twenty-third to hold the office, and the tenth Australian. Dr Peter Hollingworth’s Australian predecessors were Sir Isaac Isaacs, Sir William McKell, Lord Casey, Sir Paul Hasluck, Sir John Kerr, Sir Zelman Cowen, Sir Ninian Stephen, Mr Bill Hayden, and Sir William Deane. Sir Isaac Isaacs was a Crown Law Officer, barrister, Queen’s Counsel, member of the Legislative Assembly of Victoria, Solicitor-General and later Attorney-General for Victoria, occasionally acting Premier, member of the House of Representatives in the Federal Parliament, federal Attorney-General under Prime Minister Alfred Deakin, Justice of the High Court under Chief Justice Sir Samuel Griffith, Chief Justice, and finally, in 1931, at the age of 75, the first native-born Australian Governor-General.

  • RACE, SELF-DETERMINATION and AUSTRALIAN EMPIRE Race, Self –Determination and Australian Empire ANTONY ANGHIE*
    RACE, SELF-DETERMINATION AND AUSTRALIAN EMPIRE Race, Self –Determination and Australian Empire ANTONY ANGHIE* This article focuses on Australia’s complex relationship with colonialism and empire. This relationship is most often examined through the related frameworks of settler colonialism and Australia’s place within the British Empire. This article sketches and explores a third framework based on what might be termed ‘Australia’s Empire’: Australia’s administration of Nauru and Papua New Guinea pursuant to a mandate of the League of Nations and subsequently, as trusteeship territories under the League of Nations. It seeks in this way to make an argument that these different forms and operations of colonialism must be studied simultaneously as they all influenced each other. Concepts of race and self-determination provide a means of linking together these different imperial experiences. CONTENTS I Introduction ............................................................................................................... 1 II The Nauru Mandate and the Beginnings of Australian Empire ................................ 3 III Nauru: Self-Determination and Its Aftermath .......................................................... 6 IV Papua New Guinea and Beyond: Mining and the Post-Colonial State ................... 14 V Australia and Empire .............................................................................................. 20 VI Overlapping Imperial Histories ..............................................................................
