Revisionists publicly condemned discomforting accounts of systematic violence and oppression documented by historians from the 1970s as a combination of political agendas and dishonest scholarship and heralded a return to earlier celebratory national myths of peaceful settlement and benevolent progress. Politicians joined the fray. Conservative Prime Minister John Howard praised the nation’s record of ‘heroic achievement’ and quoted historian Geoffrey Blainey’s epithet ‘black armband history’ to encapsulate what many Australians considered an ‘excessive emphasis … on past wrongs’. The heated exchanges in Australia’s History Wars were proof of the high stakes involved and reflected mounting public anxiety over related matters confronting the nation—Native title, sovereignty, Aboriginal deaths in custody, Mabo, the Stolen Generations and more recently Stolen Wages—debates that prompted a crisis in national conscience and identity. U NSAFE SEX The grey rectangular blankets issued as welfare to Aboriginal people by Australian governments along with rations of flour, tea and sugar, have their own meanings in colonial history and within Foley’s evolving oeuvre. Onto these blank, grey, rectangular screens are projected imaginings of neglectful charity, patronage and control; disease, death and ghostly tallies of declining Aboriginal populations; furtive sexual couplings; and distorted exchanges of blankets for land, resources and women.

  • Part 6 of Australian Frontier Wars Western Australia
    NUNAWADING MILITARY HISTORY GROUP MINI NEWSLETTER No. 30 Part 6 of Australian Frontier Wars Western Australia The first British settlement in Western Australia was established by the British Army, 57th of Foot, (West Middle- sex Regiment) at Albany in 1826. Relations between the garrison and the local Minang people were generally good. Open conflict between Noongar and European settlers broke out in Western Australia in the 1830s as the Swan River Colony expanded from Perth. The Pinjarra Massacre, the best known single event, occurred on 28 October 1833. The Pinjarra massacre, also known as the Battle of Pinjarra, is an attack that occurred in 1834 at Pinjarra, Western Australia on an uncertain number of Binjareb Noongar people by a detachment of 25 soldiers of the 21st of Foot, (North British Fusiliers), police and settlers led by Governor James Stirling. Stirling estimated the Bin- jareb present numbered "about 60 or 70" and John Roe, who also par- ticipated, at about 70–80, which roughly agree with an estimate of 70 by an unidentified eyewitness. On the attacking side, Captain Theophilus Tighe Ellis was killed and Corporal Patrick Heffron was injured. On the defending side an uncer- tain number of Binjareb men, women and children were killed. While Stirling quantified the number of Binjareb killed as probably 15 males, Roe estimated the number killed as 15–20, and an unidentified eyewitness as 25–30 including 1 woman and several children in addi- tion to being "very probable that more men were killed in the river and floated down with the stream". The number of Binjareb injured is un- known, as is the number of deaths resulting from injuries sustained Pinjarra Massacre Site memorial during the attack.

  • THE FABRICATION of ABORIGINAL HISTORY Photo – David Karonidis Keith Windschuttle
    20 THE FABRICATION OF ABORIGINAL HISTORY Photo – David Karonidis Keith Windschuttle For some years, controversy has surrounded the history of Australia’s earliest white settlement and the treatment of the Indigenous Australians. Historian Keith Windschuttle has now provoked new questioning in his latest book – The Fabri- cation of Aboriginal History (Macleay Press) where he has challenged much of the evidence previously used by historians in this field. Keith Windschuttle addressed The Sydney Institute on Tuesday 11 February 2003 THE SYDNEY PAPERS SUMMER 2003 21 THE FABRICATION OF ABORIGINAL HISTORY Keith Windschuttle Over the past 30 years, university-based historians of Aboriginal Australia have produced a broad consensus. They have created a picture of widespread killings of blacks on the frontiers of settlement that not only went unpunished but had covert government support. Some of the Australian colonies engaged in what the principal historian of race relations in Tasmania, Lyndall Ryan, has called “a conscious policy of genocide”. In Queensland, according to the University of Sydney historian, Dirk Moses: “… the use of government terror trans- formed local genocidal massacres by settlers into official state-wide policy”. The expatriate Australian Ben Kiernan, who is director of the genocide studies program at Yale University, writes that nineteenth century Australian colonists mounted numerous punitive expeditions against the Aborigines in which they committed “hundreds of massacres”. In Central Australia, Kiernan claims 40 per cent of the indigenous population was shot dead. In Queensland, the Aborigines “were hunted like wild beasts, having lived for years in a state of absolute terror of white predators”. For most of my adult life I was a true believer of this story.

  • You Can't Charge Me, I'm a Cop: Should Police, Corrections
    2018 Advance Copy: You Can’t Charge Me, I’m a Cop 1 Advance Copy – Citation Stephen Gray, ‘You Can’t Charge Me, I’m a Cop: Should Police, Corrections Staff and Law Enforcement Officers Be Immune from Criminal Liability for Actions Carried Out against Vulnerable People in the Course of Their Duties?’ (2018) 41(3) University of New South Wales Law Journal (Advance). YOU CAN’T CHARGE ME, I’M A COP: SHOULD POLICE, CORRECTIONS STAFF AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS BE IMMUNE FROM CRIMINAL LIABILITY FOR ACTIONS CARRIED OUT AGAINST VULNERABLE PEOPLE IN THE COURSE OF THEIR DUTIES? STEPHEN GRAY* This article will argue that current Australian laws which provide for immunity from criminal liability for police, corrections staff and other law enforcement officers for actions carried out in the course of their duties should be repealed. It will, firstly, survey and analyse a number of such provisions in different Australian jurisdictions. The laws cover several different occupations and contexts: from police officers arresting or holding people in custody; to prison or juvenile detention centre officers carrying out their duties; and to immigration detention centre guards. In the process, it will consider the extent to which such provisions operate more favourably to the defendant than the ordinary law of self-defence. Secondly, the article will consider what policy justifications there may be for or against the existence of such provisions. This will include a discussion of the historical origin of criminal immunity provisions in Australia, including the policy implications of the history of the use of force against Aboriginal people by police.

  • West Kimberley Place Report
    WEST KIMBERLEY PLACE REPORT DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY ONE PLACE, MANY STORIES Located in the far northwest of Australia’s tropical north, the west Kimberley is one place with many stories. National Heritage listing of the west Kimberley recognises the natural, historic and Indigenous stories of the region that are of outstanding heritage value to the nation. These and other fascinating stories about the west Kimberley are woven together in the following description of the region and its history, including a remarkable account of Aboriginal occupation and custodianship over the course of more than 40,000 years. Over that time Kimberley Aboriginal people have faced many challenges and changes, and their story is one of resistance, adaptation and survival, particularly in the past 150 years since European settlement of the region. The listing also recognizes the important history of non-Indigenous exploration and settlement of the Kimberley. Many non-Indigenous people have forged their own close ties to the region and have learned to live in and understand this extraordinary place. The stories of these newer arrivals and the region's distinctive pastoral and pearling heritage are integral to both the history and present character of the Kimberley. The west Kimberley is a remarkable part of Australia. Along with its people, and ancient and surviving Indigenous cultural traditions, it has a glorious coastline, spectacular gorges and waterfalls, pristine rivers and vine thickets, and is home to varied and unique plants and animals. The listing recognises these outstanding ecological, geological and aesthetic features as also having significance to the Australian people. In bringing together the Indigenous, historic, aesthetic, and natural values in a complementary manner, the National Heritage listing of the Kimberley represents an exciting prospect for all Australians to work together and realize the demonstrated potential of the region to further our understanding of Australia’s cultural history.

  • December 2019
    History West, December 2019 December 2019 To All Our Members Happy Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Holidays! In the first years of the 20th century the popular and widely-circulated weekly Western Mail newspaper cheered its readers with wonderful covers to its Christmas Day issues — drawn by May Gibbs. We have reproduced three of them – for 1905, 1906 and 1907 – from well-worn and brittle copies lodged in our library. The images from over a century ago are a happy combination of Western Australian flora and fauna — black swans, racehorse or sand goanna, kookaburras, emu, kangaroos and grass trees — alongside glamorous European beauties, old Father Christmas, elves, fairies and gum nut babies. Today we make less reference to our European past but continue to mark the passing of the years in similar ways and to enjoy ourselves with family and friends. ‘If goblin elves and gossamer-winged fairies are beyond the beat of the average Australian, the sultry beauties of our summer give us a Christmas season full of unique attractions. Bright skies and the cool sea-breeze, days of settled summer, woo all into the open air…’ History West wishes you a joyful summertime! The History West team (Lesley, Barry, Heather, Jack & Lenore) also thanks everyone who helped create this year’s eleven issues. We couldn’t produce the monthly newsletter without the involvement of so many members – authors and book reviewers; photographers; library, museum, bookshop, and tours & events volunteers; affiliate contributors; and the distribution team. History West could not exist without you all. Your contributions are much appreciated and essential! Holiday Closure The Society will close at 4pm on Friday 20 December & re-open at 10am on Monday 6 January.

  • The Killing Times
    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Killing Times by Gerry Georgatos April 20th, 2013 Australia was founded on bloodshed, and its historical identity and its origins-of- thinking include slavery (blackbirding), social engineering, apartheid, racism. To deny all of this is to keep Australians hostage to the various veils and layers of racism. Understanding the past is to free up the present and the future from being held hostage by lies. Far too often our ability to discover the truth has been outstripped by the capacity to manifest deceit. Last week, Western Australia’s Governor, Malcolm McCusker, in what was a surprising gaffe or an act of ignorance claimed in a speech to a joint sitting of Parliament that Australia as we know it was “achieved without civil war or bloodshed.” It is an insult to Aboriginal peoples, and to the hundreds of descendants of the hundreds of Aboriginal cultures whose ancestors were slaughtered in massacres. Governor McCusker asserted that Australian democracy and its Government arose without civil strife. This was all too much for the Deputy Leader of the Opposition, Roger Cook who challenged Governor McCusker’s comments. Mr Cooke has married into an Aboriginal family. Mr Cook took the opportunity to correct Governor McCusker’s comments from the previous week in his speech during the opening of the new term of Parliament. “On this particular occasion, I am taking the opportunity to remind the Governor of our history,” said Mr Cook. “Many people died in terms of the assertion of the new legal rights, which the British colony enforced upon the original inhabitants of this area.” “Unless we come to terms with that, we will continue to repeat the injustices that were done at the time.” Mr Cook went as far as citing some of the bloodshed – he referred to the Flying Foam Massacre on the Dampier Archipelago in 1868 and the subsequent civil strife which just about wiped out the Yaburara peoples of the Burrup.
