  • World War Two Service
    INTRODUCTION WWII saw the unprecedented mass movement of more than one million war brides and fiancees to join their partners in new lands. 'Bride ships' transported more than 100,000 wives and fiancees of American servicemen alone, from over 50 countries including the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Scandinavia, Africa, China, Japan and others.1 At least 50,000 women from the United Kingdom married US servicemen. In addition, 40,000 brides - mostly British - followed their husbands to Canada; thousands of women from Britain and Europe married Australian and New Zealand servicemen; and many Australian women sailed to the UK, having married British servicemen they met in Australia.2 A significant part of the female migration to the United States included an estimate of up to 15,000 Australian war brides and fiancees of American servicemen.3 Despite this being the largest contingent of Australian women ever to migrate, ' Elfrieda Shukert and Barbara Scibetta, War Brides of World War II, Presidio Press, Novato, California, 1988, pp. 1, 2, and 7, also see Appendix A, p. 265; Marion F.

  • ANZAAB Newsletter Editor and Culminating in the 47 ANZAAB Rare Book for Doing a Wonderful Job
    WWW.ANZAAB.COM | DECEMBER 2018 The occasional newsletter of The Australian & New Zealand Association of Antiquarian Booksellers A message from the President NEWS & JOTTINGS As another year is drawing to a close, I reflect on some of the activities of the last twelve months. SAVE THE DATE… An informative ILAB Congress was run by the ABAAA in Pasadena in February. It was good to catch up with international colleagues and visit places of literary and bibliophilic interest. For Australians, the highlights of the Congress must be the election of Sally Burdon (Asia Bookroom, Canberra) to the ILAB Presidency and Dawn Albinger (Archives Rare Books, Brisbane) being one of four international young booksellers awarded an ABAA Woodburn Foundation Scholarship to attend the meeting. October saw AbeBooks announce withdrawal of service from the Czech Republic, Hungary South Korea and Russia. ILAB and other booksellers responded worldwide by sending their stock ‘on holiday’. This brought AbeBooks to the negotiating table resulting in a very satisfactory outcome and return of service to affected countries. A more detailed account appears in this Newsletter. ANZAAB has, once again, arranged for the annual Melbourne Rare Book Fair to be held at Wilson Hall at The University of Melbourne (12-14 July, 2019), preceded by Melbourne Rare Book Week. So save the dates. Finally, on behalf of ANZAAB, I thank Dawn Albinger for …for Melbourne Rare Book Week 2019, th assuming the position of the ANZAAB Newsletter editor and culminating in the 47 ANZAAB Rare Book for doing a wonderful job. Fair on July 12-14, 2019. COOK AND THE PACIFIC is the title of a major exhibition being held at the National Library of Australia, Canberra, until 10th February, 2019.

  • The Impact of the Australian Media's Reporting of Indonesia on Business Relationships
    The impact of the Australian media’s reporting of Indonesia on business relationships – A Western Australian perspective. Sinéad Mangan Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Asian Area Studies This thesis is presented in partial fulfilment for the degree of Master of Business Journalism at Murdoch University, July 2016. Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. .................................... (Sinéad Mangan) i Abstract In 2011, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s current affairs program Four Corners televised an exposé of the treatment of Australian cattle in Indonesian abattoirs. The program prompted the immediate suspension of the Australian live cattle trade to Indonesia. It was another incident in the history of Indonesian- Australian relations involving the Australian media and government action since Indonesia’s independence in 1945. This paper looks at the history of Australian media reporting and how it affects business with Indonesia. It examines the extent to which reporting in the Australian press impacts the perceptions of business people pursuing commercial relationships in Indonesia, focusing on Western Australia. It analyses interviews with prominent Western Australian business executives with a vested interest in Indonesia and identifies key issues hindering closer economic ties between the two countries. Issues identified include negative reporting in the Australian

  • Legislative Assembly
    1297 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Friday 27 May 2011 __________ The Speaker (The Hon. Shelley Elizabeth Hancock) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. The Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. THE GREENS POLICIES Debate resumed from 6 May 2011. Mr JAMIE PARKER (Balmain) [10.00 a.m.]: I thank the Government for adjourning this debate until today to enable me to respond to the motion of the member for Murray-Darling. I begin by acknowledging the more than 500,000 New South Wales citizens who exercised their democratic rights by voting for The Greens at the State election, in particular the thousands of Greens voters in the seat of Murray-Darling. I note that The Greens vote in Murray-Darling more than doubled at the election, and I congratulate The Greens candidate Heidi Hendry on that result. I also congratulate my colleagues Jeremy Buckingham and Jan Barham from the regional Orange and Byron Bay councils respectively who have been elected to represent The Greens in this Parliament. I was genuinely surprised by the number of outright factual inaccuracies in the speeches in support of the motion by both the member for Murray-Darling and the member for Clarence. The motion asserts, without evidence, that The Greens policies "... are compromising the democratic rights of the citizens of New South Wales". In fact, the reverse is true. The Greens proposal for a bill of rights will protect democratic rights, not compromise them. The member for Murray-Darling attacked The Greens by saying we were "born and bred on Centrelink" and that we had no idea what it is like to do a fair day's work for a fair day's pay.
