Separated as is well known, by the spoken variants of common English usage, Australians and Americans share a few distinct printed differences. With minor exceptions, involving minimal editorial intrusion (mostly by way of extending, perhaps excessively, clarifications of Australian nomenclature), the editors of this volume present these essays in a linguistic fashion acceptable to Australian readers. Some practices may then strike American readers as odd or even as incorrect. The most obvious examples are of the kind which find the use of “c” in the Australian spelling of “defence”, or variant letter order as in “centre” for “center”, “theatre” for “theater", and so on. Punctuation is the other most obvious area where American usage more happily accepts (and occasionally demands) more diacritics generally (especially commas), than some Australian usage always requires. The option to normalise these essays to US expectation seemed to the editors both unnecessary for the relatively few cases where genuine confusion might eventuate and, more importantly, it seemed very unsound as a matter of principle. Given the volume’s intent to uncover the Australian experience as similar to, though different from, America’s Vietnam, unusual spelling and punctuation effects stand as signs, minor perhaps, of those differences. Acknowledgements This Special Number of Vietnam Generation is the second book length contribution to the study of Australia’s involvement in the Vietnam War which has its origins in a cross-disciplinary research project undertaken in the English and History Departments of the University College, University of New South Wales, Australian Defence Force Academy. The Project, titled “Representations of the Vietnam War in Australia, from 1962 to the Present”, has been funded in its initial three years by grants from the Australian Research Council, to whom our first acknowledgment is made. Without the backing of the ARC, the Vietnam Project and its various results, including this volume, could not have been produced. Nor could a cross-disciplinary task of the magnitude of the Vietnam Project work smoothly without the wide support ofthe University College as an institution, and that of our colleagues and friends; the editors of this volume would like to record their gratitude for such support. From its inception the Project has benefitted substantially from the aid of a number of our senior colleagues: Professor Alan Gilbert, formerly Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research) of the University of New South Wales, and now Vice-Chancellor of the University of Tasmania, has always provided sure-footed scholarly guidance and research impetus; sustaining intellectual and personal guidance have been forthcoming, as ever, from both Professor Harry Heseltine, Deputy Rector and Head of the Department of English, and Professor Peter Dennis, Head of the Department of History. We owe them debts, individually and together, greater than we know; lastly to Peter Pierce, our former colleague at the University College, and now lecturer at the Australian Studies Centre, Monash University, Victoria, for his intellectual and other observations, we are always grateful. No research in the English department could function half so well without the untiring efforts of Trish Middleton (Administrative officer, English Department). ARC funding over the first two years (1989-90) provided the Project with two admirable Research Assistants, Lucy O’Connor and Hath Dermody whose voluminous gatherings underlie much of the compilation of the bibliography. Other elements of the bibliography could not have appeared without the extremely able work of the Australian Defence Force Academy Library staff. Thanks to Lynn Hard (Librarian); we are also particularly indebted to Mary Anne Neilsen, Chris Dawkins, Sue Adams, and Glynnis Moore. Our thanks too, for some last minute assistance with archival matters, to Antoinette Merrillees. The tasks of editing this special number have been aided by the pleasant and stimulating co-operation of our contributors. Our dealings with our senior editor. Kali Tal, have been conducted in the highest spirit of academic exchange. We are pleased to have been asked to contribute to Vietnam Generation, and to have had such

  • When Australia Said NO! Fifteen Years Ago, the Australian People Turned Down the Menzies Govt's Bid to Shackle Democracy
    „ By ERNIE CAMPBELL When Australia said NO! Fifteen years ago, the Australian people turned down the Menzies Govt's bid to shackle democracy. gE PT E M B E R . 22 is the 15th Anniversary of the defeat of the Menzies Government’s attempt, by referendum, to obtain power to suppress the Communist Party. Suppression of communism is a long-standing plank in the platform of the Liberal Party. The election of the Menzies Government in December 1949 coincided with America’s stepping-up of the “Cold War”. the Communist Party an unlawful association, to dissolve it, Chairmanship of Senator Joseph McCarthy, was engaged in an orgy of red-baiting, blackmail and intimidation. This was the situation when Menzies, soon after taking office, visited the United States to negotiate a big dollar loan. On his return from America, Menzies dramatically proclaimed that Australia had to prepare for war “within three years”. T o forestall resistance to the burdens and dangers involved in this, and behead the people’s movement of militant leadership, Menzies, in April 1950, introduced a Communist Party Dis­ solution Bill in the Federal Parliament. T h e Bill commenced with a series o f recitals accusing the Communist Party of advocating seizure of power by a minority through violence, intimidation and fraudulent practices, of being engaged in espionage activities, of promoting strikes for pur­ poses of sabotage and the like. Had there been one atom of truth in these charges, the Government possessed ample powers under the Commonwealth Crimes Act to launch an action against the Communist Party.

  • The Vietnam War an Australian Perspective
    THE VIETNAM WAR AN AUSTRALIAN PERSPECTIVE [Compiled from records and historical articles by R Freshfield] Introduction What is referred to as the Vietnam War began for the US in the early 1950s when it deployed military advisors to support South Vietnam forces. Australian advisors joined the war in 1962. South Korea, New Zealand, The Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand also sent troops. The war ended for Australian forces on 11 January 1973, in a proclamation by Governor General Sir Paul Hasluck. 12 days before the Paris Peace Accord was signed, although it was another 2 years later in May 1975, that North Vietnam troops overran Saigon, (Now Ho Chi Minh City), and declared victory. But this was only the most recent chapter of an era spanning many decades, indeed centuries, of conflict in the region now known as Vietnam. This story begins during the Second World War when the Japanese invaded Vietnam, then a colony of France. 1. French Indochina – Vietnam Prior to WW2, Vietnam was part of the colony of French Indochina that included Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Vietnam was divided into the 3 governances of Tonkin, Annam, and Cochinchina. (See Map1). In 1940, the Japanese military invaded Vietnam and took control from the Vichy-French government stationing some 30,000 troops securing ports and airfields. Vietnam became one of the main staging areas for Japanese military operations in South East Asia for the next five years. During WW2 a movement for a national liberation of Vietnam from both the French and the Japanese developed in amongst Vietnamese exiles in southern China.

  • Two of Us: Shane Withington and Suzette Meade
    Upfront I was a neurotic mess by the time the Currawong campaign was won, which makes me wary for Suzette. I always end our calls say- ing, “Look after yourself and don’t burn out.” But she seems to be able to handle the pressure. We get on really well, except she doesn’t answer the phone when I want her to, and when I suggest letting off flares, she doesn’t reply, so it doesn’t happen. But I’ll mention it again, and if it still doesn’t happen, I’ll let flares off without her knowing. UZETTE: I was on maternity leave with Smy second child in 2015 when the NSW government development proposal for 6500 apartments and a retail complex in the Cumberland Hospital precinct reared its head. I went to the North Parramatta Residents Action Group’s first meeting, and was nominated to head the action against the development. Shane was the MC for a Crown land summit at NSW Parliament House. I knew of Shane from when he played nurse Brendan Jones on A Country Practice. Summing up, he said, “We all need to get involved with the Female Factory, because that is too precious to lose.” Afterwards, I thanked him for highlighting our plight in Parramatta. He gave me his num- ber, and said to ring if he could help. I contacted Shane several times, but he was always filming.

It’s taken almost 49 years to uncover Vol 1 No IX! This all stared with Barry Guzder sending Grahame Dignam the following email – “Hi Digs, Don’t know if this will make the next E&Es but it’s a good reminder of days gone by! Regards Barry G.” Grahame copied the email to Ed who followed up with Barry as to where the hell did he discover this and here’s his response – “Hi Paul, I had it with all my other Vietnam paraphernalia on returning to Oz in ’68. Put it all away and year and half later sailed to U.K. So mum looked after all that military stuff till I returned in ’75. Just took it all in a box to new house in ’78. Went thru box in 2013, found it and put it into ‘Tracks of the Dragon”. Showed book to friends at bushfire brigade and out it fell! Regards, Barry.” Ed - Bloody amazing “out it fell”, but we are ever so thankful as it now means that Vol 1 No 11 is the only missing issue. Is there anyone else who can perform some magic and produce it?
