  • Politicians at War: the Experiences of Australian Parliamentarians in the First World
    Politicians at War: The Experiences Aaron Pegram of Australian Parliamentarians in ∗ the First World War Sometime around noon on 25 April 1915, a 35-year-old sergeant of the Australian 1st Battalion lay mortally wounded in thick scrub above the beach that would later be known as Anzac Cove. Having come ashore with the second wave attack earlier that morning, men of the 1st Battalion were rushed inland to a position on Pine Ridge to help reinforce the tenuous foothold troops of the 3rd Brigade were holding in the face of growing Turkish resistance. Stretcher-bearers came to carry the wounded man back down the gully, but he refused. ‘There’s plenty worse than me out there’, he said, in what was the last time he was seen alive.1 Sergeant Edward (Ted) Larkin was among 8,100 Australian and New Zealand troops killed and wounded at Anzac within the first week of fighting.2 His body was recovered during the informal truce with Turkish troops in the following weeks, but the whereabouts of his final burial place remains unknown. As such, he is commemorated on the Lone Pine Memorial, alongside 4,934 Australian and New Zealander soldiers killed on Gallipoli who have no known grave. As a soldier, Larkin appears no different from the 330,000 men who served in the Australian Imperial Force during the First World War, but as a civilian, he was among a number of state and federal politicians who saw active service with the AIF during the First World War. According to figures compiled by the Commonwealth Parliamentary Library, 119 Australian MPs saw active service in the First World War: 72 were members of the House of Representatives, 44 were senators and three served in both chambers.

The Speaker read the prayer and acknowledgement of country. Announcements THOUGHT LEADERSHIP BREAKFAST The SPEAKER: I inform the House that we had two outstanding leaders of Indigenous heritage at our Thought Leadership breakfast this morning. I thank all those members who attended that event. In particular I thank our guest speakers: Tanya Denning-Allman, the director of Indigenous content at SBS, and Benson Saulo, the incoming Consul-General to the United States, based in Houston. I thank both of them and note we will have another event in November. [Notices of motions given.] Bills STRONGER COMMUNITIES LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (DOMESTIC VIOLENCE) BILL 2020 First Reading Bill introduced on motion by Mr Mark Speakman, read a first time and printed. Second Reading Speech Mr MARK SPEAKMAN (Cronulla—Attorney General, and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence) (09:46:44): I move: That this bill be now read a second time. The Stronger Communities Legislation Amendment (Domestic Violence) Bill 2020 introduces amendments to support procedural improvements and to close gaps in the law that have become apparent. Courts can be a daunting place for victims of domestic and family violence. The processes can be overwhelming. Domestic violence is a complex crime like no other because of the intimate relationships between perpetrators and victims. Those close personal connections intertwine complainants and defendants in ways that maintain a callous grip on victims. This grip can silence reports of abuse, delay reports when victims are brave enough to come forward, and intimidate victims to discontinue cooperating with prosecutions.

  • Strange-Culture-The-Country-Labor
    CHARLES STURT UNIVERSITY REGIONAL ARCHIVES Strange Culture The Country Labor Party in the Riverina Liam Lander February 2014 It has been a widely held view for some time that the Australian Labor Party has a long and rich history in the Riverina. To reinforce this view and to provide context for the Labor Party’s place and importance in the region, local historians and party members frequently cite several uncontested historical facts. They draw our attention to the significance of the Wagga Wagga branch of the Australian Shearers Union (ASU) in the early labour movement, when in 1886 it was instrumental in campaigning for the eight hour working day. The ASU later amalgamated with several regional unions to form the Australian Workers Union in 1905, eventually evolving into the Australian Workers Union as it exists today. They also point out that the Wagga Wagga branch of the Australian Labor Party has had a sustained presence in the community since 1891. Perhaps most significantly, they cite the success of one of Wagga Wagga’s most highly regarded former state politicians, Edgar ‘Eddie’ Graham, member for Wagga Wagga from May 1941 to November 1957, and a member of the Australian Labor Party. While these facts present the illusion of a strong tradition of Labor Party prosperity in the Riverina, the reality is that the local political landscape is far more conservative. Nevertheless the Wagga Wagga branch of the Australian Labor party, known today as the Country Labor Party, continues to meet more regularly than any other political party in the region, and always emerges at election time to present and support a local candidate.

  • The 1St Australian Division in the Great War, 1914–1919
    THE ANATOMY OF A DIVISION: THE 1ST AUSTRALIAN DIVISION IN THE GREAT WAR, 1914–1919 ROBERT CHARLES STEVENSON Thesis submitted for Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of New South Wales 2010 THE ANATOMY OF A DIVISION ABSTRACT The study of higher military organisations is a neglected theme in Australian studies of the Great War. Although the ‘digger’ looms large in national military historiography, the role of the larger organisations to which these soldiers belonged is often all but lost in the aura that surrounds the digger’s legendary battlefield performance. This thesis examines the history of the 1st Australian Division during the Great War. This formation was the longest-serving Australian division during that conflict; more soldiers served in its ranks and it suffered more casualties than any equivalent Australian organisation. The study analyses how this division was raised, how it was organised and what it did during its service. Based on an analysis of its daily activities as recorded in its war diaries, the thesis identifies that the three activities the division spent most of its time engaged in were administration, training and operations—devoting about a quarter of its time to various types of administrative activity; another quarter training; and only half of its time committed to operations with the enemy. It suggests that the success of the division on the battlefield depended on the capacity of its commanders and staff to administer, train and adapt to the changing conditions they experienced and less on the innate qualities of the division’s soldiers. It embraces the following: Pre-war expeditionary force plans and the mobilisation of the 1st Division.
