That was the first day of the ANZACs ’ landing – April 25 1915. Joe Lalor, son of Dr Joseph and Agnes Lalor and grandson of Eureka’s Peter Lalor was an amazing character. Alongside Peter Lalor’s cousin, Field Marshall Joseph O’Lawlor of Spanish fame, Joe was probably the greatest of the Lalors’ military leaders. One of his obituaries states that “wherever Margot Coogantrouble and fighting were in evidence, Captain Lalor was to be found.” Born in Richmond in 1884, educated at Xavier College, Kew, Joe joined the British Merchant Navy before deserting and aliening himself with a revolutionary force He embarked from Fremantle on board i n Argentina.

It was a very significant time for the Lalor family, not only because of their presence but the level of their involvement in the activities and discussions. Pivotal for the Lalors was having the participation of its international Chieftain and Ambassador, Margot Coogan. Margot Coogan installs the Leader ‘Lalors Australia’ “One hundred and sixty years ago, Pictured with Peter and Margot is Sue Lalor White.

  • The Political Career of Senator Paddy Lynch (1867-1944)
    With an Olive Branch and a Shillelagh: the Political Career of Senator Paddy Lynch (1867-1944) by Danny Cusack M.A. Presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University December 2002 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not been previously submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. ……..…………………………… Danny Cusack ABSTRACT As a loyal Empire man and ardent conscriptionist, Irish-born Senator Paddy Lynch swam against the prevailing Irish Catholic Labor political current. He was one of those MP’s who followed Prime Minister W.M. Hughes out of the Federal Labor caucus in November 1916, serving out the rest of his political career in the Nationalist ranks. On the face of things, he represents something of a contradiction. A close examination of Lynch’s youth in Ireland, his early years in Australia and his subsequent parliamentary career helps us to resolve this apparent paradox. It also enables us to build up a picture of Lynch the man and to explain his political odyssey. He emerges as representative of that early generation of conservative Laborites (notably J.C. Watson, W.G. Spence and George Pearce) who, once they had achieved their immediate goals of reform, saw their subsequent role as defending the prevailing social order. Like many of these men, Lynch’s commitment to the labour movement’s principles of solidarity and collective endeavour co-existed with a desire for material self-advancement. More fundamentally, when Lynch accumulated property and was eventually able to take up the occupation which he had known in Ireland – farming – his evolving class interest inevitably occasioned a change in political outlook.

Price Five Shillings. A VERYpleasant and entertaining book has reached us from Melbourne. The- author, Mr. J. F. Hogan, is a young Irish-Australian , who, if we are to judge- from the captivating style of the present work, has a brilliant future before him. Mr. Hogan is well known in the literary and Catholic circles of the Australian Colonies, and we sincerely trust that the volume before us will have the effect of making him known to the Irish people at home and in America .

Southern hemisphere . Some of the papers deal with Irish and Catholic subjects. They are written in a racy and elegant style, and contain an amount of highly nteresting matter relative to our co-religionists and fellow -countrymen under the Southern Cross. A few papers deal with inter -Colonial politics , and we think that home readers will find these even more entertaining than those which deal more. immediately with the Irish element.

The historiography of the battle for the stockade has been in general one that perpetuates a tale of gratuitous massacre of poorly prepared innocents by a ruthless military. The historiography has also omitted to consider Eureka as part of an established international model of civilian armed resistance to oppression.
