  • Foot Soldiers for Capital: the Influence of RSL Racism on Interwar Industrial Relations in Kalgoorlie and Broken Hill
    i Foot Soldiers for Capital: the influence of RSL racism on interwar industrial relations in Kalgoorlie and Broken Hill by Sarah Gregson B. A. (Hons) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Industrial Relations and Organisational Behaviour Faculty of Commerce and Economics University of New South Wales 2003 ii SYNOPSIS The historiography of Australian racism has principally ‘blamed’ the labour movement for the existence of the White Australia policy and racist responses to the presence of migrant workers. This study argues that the motivations behind ruling class agitation for the White Australia policy have never been satisfactorily analysed. To address this omission, the role of the Returned and Services League of Australia (RSL) in race relations is examined. As an elite-dominated, cross-class organisation with links to every section of society, it is argued that the RSL was a significant agitator for migrant exclusion and white unity in the interwar period. The thesis employs case studies, oral history and qualitative assessment of various written sources, such as newspapers, archival records and secondary material, in order to plot the dynamics of racist ideology in two major mining centres in the interwar period. The results suggest that, although labour organisations were influenced by racist ideas and frequently protested against the presence of migrant workers, it was also true that mining employers had a material interest in sowing racial division in the workplaces they controlled. The study concludes that labour movement responses to migrant labour incorporated a range of different strategies, from demands for racist exclusion to moves towards international solidarity.

Karsh. – [ca. 1945] Andrew Hamilton “Hammie” Gault, 1882-1958, was descended from an Anglo-Irish merchant family which settled in Montreal in 1842 and became dominant players in Canadian textile manufacturing, insurance, finance, and politics. After attending Bishop's College School in Lennoxville and one year at McGill University, Gault joined the 2nd Canadian Mounted Rifles and served with distinction as a subaltern until the end of the South African War in 1901. He continued to serve with the Canadian militia, eventually becoming a captain with the 5th Royal Highlanders (Black Watch of Canada). Following the death of his father in 1903, he assumed control of Gault Brothers and Company, the family cotton manufacturing firm. He married Marguerite Stephens in 1904. Gault was appointed honorary Consul General for Sweden in 1909-1911, and was a member of the council for the Montreal Board of Trade, 1911-1913. Upon the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914, he offered to finance the raising of Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI). He was appointed Senior Major and Second-in-Command of the Regiment. He was wounded three times, losing his left leg, which effectively ended his active service in the field. He was promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel and Commanding Officer of PPCLI in November 1918. For his service in the Great War, Gault was awarded the Order of the British Empire, the Russian Order of St.

  • Horizons, Memoirs of a British Diplomat
    Horizons Memoirs of a British Diplomat by Anthony Goodenough First published 2021 by Goodenough Editions 8 St Paul’s Mews, Dorking, RH4 2HP [email protected] This second, shorter, edition covers my working life in the Diplomatic Service and in the charitable world, first as a young teacher with Voluntary Service Overseas in Sarawak and, after retirement, as Secretary General of the Order of St John, Vice President of Wellington College and a Governor of Goodenough College. It does not include material on my early life, my family and ancestors, all of which are covered in the first edition only, under the title “Many Horizons”. This edition is available only on-line. All rights reserved Copyright 2021 Anthony Michael Goodenough ISBN 978-1-9993116-1-2 Dedication and thanks This book is dedicated with love and gratitude to my wife Veronica and to our children Eleanor, Nicholas and Robert and their families, for whom it was primarily written. I am also enormously grateful to my brother Simon for his endless patience and help in editing the book and also for allowing me to quote from his recent research into our family history. He has published the full fruits of his work in his book ‘Family’ and in a companion volume, ‘A Grand Packet of Letters’. I should also like to express my warm appreciation and gratitude to all my colleagues in the British Diplomatic Service with whom I was lucky enough to work in the course of my career. Inevitably, in memoirs of this kind, the word “I” features far too often and there is not room to do justice to the work of every individual, only a few of whom are mentioned here by name.

  • 3.0 Adelaide Park Lands and Squares Tarndanya Womma
    3.0 ADELAIDE PARK LANDS AND SQUARES 1901 was the year of Australia’s federation and the opening of Parliament. To perform this function, the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall & York travelled through Adelaide in July 1901 en route to Melbourne to open parliament in the Exhibition Buildings. During the visit to Adelaide the royal couple stayed at Government House, and ventured across to Adelaide Oval on 5 July 1901 to plant two Small-leaved Moreton Bag Figs (Ficus platypoda) on the northern mounds of the Oval, as reported by The Register: ROYALTY HAS AN ARBOR DAY. Towards the close of the demonstration the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall were asked by His Excellency, the Governor, on behalf of the Cricket Association, to plant trees in honour of their visit, and their Royal Highnesses readily acceded to the request. A spot was selected on the north-western mound overlooking the asphalt tennis courts, and the guard of honour, under Capt. Bourne, moved across to protect the site from the immense crowd. Attended by the whole royal and viceregal suites present the hill to the strains of the national anthem. Lord Tennyson, in handing the spade to the Duke, said that it had been specially made for the purpose, and was the gift of the president of the association, Sir Edwin Smith. Mr. W. Gill, Conservator of Forests, superintended the planting, and in the prepared hole he held a strong young specimen of the Ficus australis [Ficus platypoda], a fig tree native of New South Wales, while His Royal Highness heaped the soil around the roots.
