  • Powlett Express & Italians
    PowlettPowlett ExpressExpress / Wonthaggi and Victorian Coal Mines Advertiser. The following headlines in the Powlett Express reveal World War II history not forgotten by Italians in Wonthaggi: 14 June 1940, MUSSOLINI CAUSES ROWDY UNION MEETING; 5 July 1940, ITALIANS GIVE £19 TO AMBULANCE FUND; again on 5 July 1940, BENDIGO ITALIANS NOT GIVEN WORK AT MINE; 12 July 1940, ALIENS AS COUNCIL EMPLOYEES; QUESTIONS ASKED. Because I have (slowly) been interviewing the older Italians in Wonthaggi and getting them to scour their memories by asking many, many questions, I have now and again come across comments about how difficult it was to be Italian in Australia during the war. There was in fact very little trouble here in Wonthaggi, partly because of the strong union attitudes of cooperation, protection and tolerance and the work ethic of mateship in the mines. Nevertheless, from the moment Mussolini threw his hand in with Hitler, the Italians everywhere in Australia had to stand guard against suspicion of their motives, especially (and ironically) if they were hardline anti-fascists, even though they were the ones most opposed to Mussolini and Hitler. The following article published 14 June 1940 is an indication: Italy’s declaration of war on Tuesday caused one of the stormiest meetings ever held by the Wonthaggi Miners’ Union. Objecting to working with Italians, miners refused to enter Nos. 18 and 20 Shafts of Tuesday afternoon. And at Kilcunda the same thing occurred at a privately owned coal mine where eleven Britishers refused to work with twenty-five Italians. The men met at night in a union meeting in the Union Hall and although recommended by their leaders to return to work and allow the federal government to take any action necessary, the men objected strongly against the idea.
