He was interested in music from an early age and joined the RSL Memorial Band at the age of 12. A talented cornet player he won the brass solo division of the 1928 national band competition.

  • Reassessing the Bunbury Bombing
    Reassessing the Bunbury Bombing: Juxtaposition of Political and Media Narratives Kate O’Donnell† and Jacqui Ewart ABSTRACT This paper examines an Australian newspaper’s coverage of the bombing of an export port terminal in Bunbury, Western Australia on 19 July, 1976. We wanted to see how The West Australian newspaper framed the story, its precursor events, and the events that followed. We were particularly interested in whether the bombing was reported as an act of terrorism because the then Premier of Western Australia, Sir Charles Court, immediately decried it as “a gross act of terrorism.” We find the newspaper resisted the lure to apply this label, and couched the story in terms of serious criminality. However, it did so before the 1978 Hilton Hotel bombing; an event the news media heralded as the “arrival” of terrorism in Australia. Also, this occurred before what could be argued the sensationalist and politicised reporting of terror-related events became normalised. Keywords: Bunbury bombing, news media framing, environmental protest, terrorism INTRODUCTION espite terrorism being “as old as history,” academic interest in it as a field of D study only gained serious momentum in the 1970s (Duyvesteyn, 2004: 440). It is now an expansive and contested multi-disciplinary scholarship. As a term, terrorism remains inherently difficult to define and its meaning is constructed in different academic, legal, political and colloquial contexts (Easson & Schmid, 2011: 99–157; Schmid, 2011; Tiefenbrun, 2002). While it is an expansive and contested scholarship, at the core of the contemporary concept of terrorism is that it is ideologically or politically-motivated criminality and violence (Schmid, 2011).

  • Statue Wars in Western Australia
    Public History Review Dark Pasts in the Landscape: Vol. 28, 2021 Statue Wars in Western Australia Jenny Gregory DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5130/phrj.v28i0.7504 Statues preserve the memory of leaders and heroes and transmit archetypal stories. They represent the past, often so far past that the values represented by the statue hold no meaning for passers-by. At times, however, statues evoke new memories that replace or build on the old.1 Then they become visible again, particularly in moments of crisis, when ‘they polarise public life by serving as lightning rods of social conflict’.2 When statues are removed it is as if they are being excised from history. In Eastern Europe, for example, statues tumbled as regimes collapsed after the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the 1990s. In Iraq the statue of Saddam Hussein in Bagdad was toppled in 2003 during the © 2021 by the author(s).
