  • Chinese Political Values in Colonial Victoria: Lowe Kong Meng and the Legacy of the July 1880 Election
    CHAPTER 2 Chinese Political Values in Colonial Victoria: Lowe Kong Meng and the Legacy of the July 1880 Election Paul Macgregor Abstract Lowe Kong Meng, pre-eminent merchant and community leader of goldrush Melbourne, was active in Australian politics, self-regarded as a British subject yet engaged with the Qing dynasty, and was likely the first overseas Chinese awarded rank in the Chinese imperial service. Victoria’s mid-1880 election was a watershed: the immediate aftermath was the re-introduction of regulations penalising Chinese, after over 15 years of free immigration and no official discrimination. After the election it was claimed that Lowe Kong Meng persuaded Victoria’s Chinese to vote for the government, but was it in his interests to do so? This chapter examines the nature of Lowe Kong Meng’s engagement in European and Chinese political activity in the colony, as well as the extent of his leadership in Chinese colonial and diasporic life. It further explores how much Lowe Kong Meng could have used that leadership to influence electoral outcomes. The chap- ter also examines how Lowe Kong Meng and the wider Chinese population of the col- ony brought changing political agendas to Victoria and developed these agendas through their colonial experiences. Keywords Chinese in Australia – Chinese political activity – colonial Victoria Several members of the House are reported to have been indebted to the Celestial vote at the late contest. Kong Meng, in gratitude for having been made an Exhibition Commissioner, helped to distribute circulars written in Chinese denouncing the Liberal party, and used his influence with the same object, so that his countrymen throughout the Colony polled to a man wherever they could for the party of ‘law and order’.

Only three are still standing, two in Melbourne, and one in Bendigo. In 1877, the Shanghai British consulate staff member James Dundas Crawford toured Australia to inspect the condition of Chinese immigrants in the colonies. In Bendigo, he visited the Ironbark Camp of the Chinese, and reported that, ‘at the north end of the village stands the temple Figure 1: Bendigo Joss House Temple, c2007. of the god of war, Kuanti-miao, of plain Courtesy: The Bendigo Trust. exterior and plank-built’, whereas ‘the “Sheathed Sword” Society has erected a valuer for the City of Sandhurst (Bendigo’s public building ... tripartite, a central hall, then official name), reported in 1876 that there flanked by two wings, well-situated were four joss houses, and one Masonic Hall geomantically on the south side of the village in the ‘Chinese Camp (Barkly Ward)’, a - at its entrance, in fact, and overlooking a village of only 374 Chinese.4 small pond.’1 Before he passed away in the 1940s, Louey Crawford’s account is the earliest known Charles Chew drew a map of Emu Point as it unambiguous reference in the historical was in 1910.
