  • The Life and Times of Sir John Waters Kirwan (1866-1949)
    ‘Mightier than the Sword’: The Life and Times of Sir John Waters Kirwan (1866-1949) By Anne Partlon MA (Eng) and Grad. Dip. Ed This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2011 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. ............................................................... Anne Partlon ii Table of Contents Abstract iv Acknowledgements v Introduction: A Most Unsuitable Candidate 1 Chapter 1:The Kirwans of Woodfield 14 Chapter 2:‘Bound for South Australia’ 29 Chapter 3: ‘Westward Ho’ 56 Chapter 4: ‘How the West was Won’ 72 Chapter 5: The Honorable Member for Kalgoorlie 100 Chapter 6: The Great Train Robbery 120 Chapter 7: Changes 149 Chapter 8: War and Peace 178 Chapter 9: Epilogue: Last Post 214 Conclusion 231 Bibliography 238 iii Abstract John Waters Kirwan (1866-1949) played a pivotal role in the Australian Federal movement. At a time when the Premier of Western Australia Sir John Forrest had begun to doubt the wisdom of his resource rich but under-developed colony joining the emerging Commonwealth, Kirwan conspired with Perth Federalists, Walter James and George Leake, to force Forrest’s hand. Editor and part- owner of the influential Kalgoorlie Miner, the ‘pocket-handkerchief’ newspaper he had transformed into one of the most powerful journals in the colony, he waged a virulent press campaign against the besieged Premier, mocking and belittling him at every turn and encouraging his east coast colleagues to follow suit.

  • Who Were the Pensioners?
    REVIEW ARTICLE WHO WERE THE PENSIONERS? G. C. BOLTON Among the amateur historians who have contributed so generously to the advance­ ment of the craft in Western Australia, Mr F. H. Broomhall deserves greater recog­ nition than he has so far received for his achievement in collective biography. In 1975 he lodged in the Battye Library a register of all the members of the Enrolled Pensioner Force who served in Western Australia from the coming of the first convicts in 1850 to the final disbandment of the Force in 1880, together with a long introductory essay.* A supplementary volume in 1976 included a section inadvertently omitted from the original text as well as various addenda and corrigenda, among them information gained from probate records. 1 Together these volumes constitute an important source for the social historian and demographer of nineteenth century Western Australia, and have already been extensively quarried for Volume 3 of the Dictionary of Western Australians 1829-1914. They provide the data and primary source references for all material in this article. Between 1850 and 1868 a total of 1191 pensioner guards came to Western Australia. They were accompanied by 817 women, 735 male childr~n, and 734 female children. According to a return co~piled in 1868 by ColonelJohnBruce, 581 of the pensioners remained on the force in that year. Another forty-nine reached an age so advanced that their pensions expired, and seven were struck off the list for various forms of mis­ conduct. No fewer than 399 left the colony to settle elsewhere, usually in South Aus­ tralia or Victoria, although a few anticipated later disgruntled pommies by returning to England.

  • Tony Robinson Explores Australia Is a Documentary Series
    A STUDY GUIDE BY KATY MARRINER & FIONA EDWARDS http://www.metromagazine.com.au ISBN-13-978-1-74295-058-7 http://www.theeducationshop.com.au A STUDY GUIDE OVERVIEW Tony Robinson, who has previously presented Time Team and Ned Kelly Uncovered, embarks on a case study of Australia’s past, from the earliest explorers to white settlement, Indigenous Australians, multiculturalism and Australia’s role in two world wars. Filmed on location around the country in November and December 2010, in this exciting and fast-paced six-part series Robinson is joined on his mammoth journey by some of Australia’s foremost historians and writers, including Tim Flannery, Thomas Keneally and Eric Wilmott. From the search to identify the ‘great southern land’, through colonial trials and tribulations and right up to the establishment of the dynamic modern Australia, Tony Robinson covers a huge amount of ground as he reveals the key events and major influences that define Australia – and Australians – today.

  • Please Stop the Cruel Omnibus Crime Bill. We Can Make Canada Safer, Not Meaner
    Please stop the cruel Omnibus Crime Bill. We can make Canada safer, not meaner. To our Federal and Provincial leaders: We agree that Canadians should work together to make our country a safer, more just place for everyone. However, we have grave concerns about the proposed federal Bill C-10, the crime bill that is currently being rushed through Parliament in Ottawa. We don’t want the federal government to impose mandatory sentences that will fill new prisons with people who should not be there. We have seen that strategy fail completely in the United States. Why would we repeat that dangerous experiment here in Canada? We need to focus on the causes of crime, instead of paying endlessly for the consequences. We believe that Canada should use an evidence-based approach to justice. We should be committed to preventing crimes, and to restorative justice that meets the victim’s needs and helps the community to heal. We ask that you join with other provinces in refusing to pay for Bill C-10, and instead call for the establishment of an independent commission of diverse citizens and experts to create a plan for Canadian justice that is fully costed and effective. Sincerely, 29,040+ Canadians from every Province and Territory, across every riding: 1 / 67 Alberta Calgary Centre: Robyn Moody, Mel Byer, Patricia Thille, Rachel Simpson, Becky MacIsaac, Ben Wagler, Linda McFarlane, Vincent Collado, Gustave Yaki, Philip Clark, Laura Angus, Kit Dobson, Jerra Hjelte, Mackenzie Turner, Karen Pollock, Andrea Llewellyn, Jill Mcnaughton, Rita Bozi, Bradley

  • The Convicts' Contribution to the Built Environment of Colonial Western
    School of The Built Environment The Convicts’ Contribution to the Built Environment of Colonial Western Australia between 1850 - 1880 Fiona Bush This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University September 2012 ABSTRACT Western Australia was founded as Australia’s first free colony in June 1829. The colony was not as successful as those in eastern Australia, and many of the settlers argued that the poor progress was due in part to a shortage of labourers. By 1849 the colonists had decided that their only way forward was to become a penal colony and the first ship arrived in June 1850 carrying 75 convicts. The thesis explores the impact that convicts had on the built environment of Western Australia. To understand the convicts’ contribution to the building industry this thesis begins with a study of buildings constructed before 1850. Extensive research was undertaken into the types of buildings erected by the settlers between 1829 and 1850: such as the types of materials used, the design and who actually constructed the buildings. The study found that before the arrival of the convicts the colony had a shortage of men with skills in the building trade. One of the major factors that enabled the convicts to contribute to the development of the colony’s building industry was vocational training, in areas such as bricklaying, brickmaking, carpentry and masonry that they obtained during their incarceration in public works prisons in Britain. This training was provided by the British government before the convicts were transported to a penal colony, as part of a new system of penal discipline.
