Bush and Saddam Hussein: Why the United States Went to War in Iraq in March 2003 The war in Iraq launched in 2003 was a decisive moment in post-Cold War international history. This lecture will challenge and interrogate prevailing interpretations of why the United States went to war in March 2003. Critics argue that hubris, power, and greed (oil) inspired the neoconservatives in the Bush administration to push for war. These critics are not wrong, but their explanation is incomplete. A more textured account of the decision to go to war is essential to illuminate the complexities of decision-making and to understand why policy turned out so tragically. Based on interviews with leading members of the Bush administration, captured Iraqi records, documents and records from the Chilcot parliamentary inquiry in the United Kingdom, declassified U.S. documents, and memoirs and public interviews, this lecture offers a new synthesis, arguing that in addition to hubris and power, fear, threat perception, guilt Picnic Party, c. 1900, James Fox Bernard, State Library Victoria, H2002.125/32 over 9/11, a sense of responsibility, and worries about domestic political recriminations exerted decisive influence on policymakers.

  • Lessons in Leadership the Life of Sir John Monash GCMG, KCB, VD
    Lessons in Leadership The Life of Sir John Monash GCMG, KCB, VD By Rolfe Hartley FIEAust CPEng EngExec FIPENZ Engineers Australia Sydney Division CELM Presentation March 2013 Page 1 Introduction The man that I would like to talk about today was often referred to in his lifetime as ‘the greatest living Australian’. But today he is known to many Australians only as the man on the back of the $100 note. I am going to stick my neck out here and say that John Monash was arguably the greatest ever Australian. Engineer, lawyer, soldier and even pianist of concert standard, Monash was a true leader. As an engineer, he revolutionised construction in Australia by the introduction of reinforced concrete technology. He also revolutionised the generation of electricity. As a soldier, he is considered by many to have been the greatest commander of WWI, whose innovative tactics and careful planning shortened the war and saved thousands of lives. Monash was a complex man; a man from humble beginnings who overcame prejudice and opposition to achieve great things. In many ways, he was an outsider. He had failures, both in battle and in engineering, and he had weaknesses as a human being which almost put paid to his career. I believe that we can learn much about leadership by looking at John Monash and considering both the strengths and weaknesses that contributed to his greatness. Early Days John Monash was born in West Melbourne in 1865, the eldest of three children and only son of Louis and Bertha. His parents were Jews from Krotoshin in Prussia, an area that is in modern day Poland.

  • How Rupert Murdoch's Empire of Influence Remade The
    HOW RUPERT MURDOCH’S EMPIRE OF INFLUENCE REMADE THE WORLD Part 1: Imperial Reach Murdoch And His Children Have Toppled Governments On Two Continents And Destabilized The Most Important Democracy On Earth. What Do They Want? By Jonathan Mahler And Jim Rutenberg 3rd April 2019 1. ‘I LOVE ALL OF MY CHILDREN’ Rupert Murdoch was lying on the floor of his cabin, unable to move. It was January 2018, and Murdoch and his fourth wife, Jerry Hall, were spending the holidays cruising the Caribbean on his elder son Lachlan’s yacht. Lachlan had personally overseen the design of the 140-foot sloop — named Sarissa after a long and especially dangerous spear used by the armies of ancient Macedonia — ensuring that it would be suitable for family vacations while also remaining competitive in superyacht regattas. The cockpit could be transformed into a swimming pool. The ceiling in the children’s cabin became an illuminated facsimile of the nighttime sky, with separate switches for the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. A detachable board for practicing rock climbing, a passion of Lachlan’s, could be set up on the deck. But it was not the easiest environment for an 86-year-old man to negotiate. Murdoch tripped on his way to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Murdoch had fallen a couple of other times in recent years, once on the stairs while exiting a stage, another time on a carpet in a San Francisco hotel. The family prevented word from getting out on both occasions, but the incidents were concerning. This one seemed far more serious.

  • 'Murdoch Press' and the 1939 Australian Herald
    Museum & Society, 11(3) 219 Arcadian modernism and national identity: The ‘Murdoch press’ and the 1939 Australian Herald ‘Exhibition of French and British Contemporary Art’ Janice Baker* Abstract The 1939 Australian ‘Herald’ Exhibition of French and British Contemporary Art is said not only to have resonated ‘in the memories of those who saw it’ but to have formed ‘the experience even of many who did not’ (Chanin & Miller 2005: 1). Under the patronage of Sir Keith Murdoch, entrepreneur and managing director of the Melbourne ‘Herald’ newspaper, and curated by the Herald’s art critic Basil Burdett, the exhibition attracted large and enthusiastic audiences. Remaining in Australia for the duration of the War, the exhibition of over 200 European paintings and sculpture, received extensive promotion and coverage in the ‘Murdoch press’. Resonating with an Australian middle-class at a time of uncertainty about national identity, this essay explores the exhibition as an ‘Arcadian’ representation of the modern with which the population could identify. The exhibition aligned a desire to be associated with the modern with a restoration of the nation’s European heritage. In its restoration of this continuity, the Herald exhibition affected an antiquarianism that we can explore, drawing on Friedrich Nietzsche’s insights into the use of traditional history. Keywords: affect; cultural heritage; Herald exhibition; Murdoch press; museums The Australian bush legend and the ‘digger’ tradition both extol the Australian character as one of endurance, courage and mateship (White 1981: 127). Graeme Davison (2000: 11) observes that using this form of ‘heroic’ tradition to inspire Australian national identity represents a monumental formation of the past that is ‘the standard form of history in new nations’.

    30 THE AUSTRALIAN ACADEMY OF THE HUMANITIES ANNUAL REPORT 2012–13 DAME ELISABETH JOY MURDOCH ac dbe 1909–2012 carefully, from the first page to the last, the signatures of all Fellows elected to the Academy since its foundation in 1969. She chuckled with pleasure as she deciphered the names, and paused to report some fact or anecdote about each Fellow – there were a great many of them – whom she remembered personally, before signing her own name on the final page with a firm and clear hand. She’d taken her daily swim that morning and was in good spirits. There was wine from the family vineyard on the lunch table which she urged us to enjoy, as she did herself. When the time for her siesta arrived she sent us off for a tour of the gardens with a cheerful wave. Dame Elisabeth was a great benefactress not only (of course) to the humanities but to any cause that she considered worthy of her attention. Asked a few years ago if the number of charities she supported was around a hundred, she replied with modest vagueness that ‘That would be rather conservative’ as an estimate. She was deeply committed throughout much of her life to the work of the Children’s Hospital, of which she was President photo: aah archive for twelve years, and of the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, and the Murdoch Institute for Research into ame Elisabeth Murdoch, legendary philanthropist and Birth Defects.
