  • 5. Through Non-Military Eyes: Developing the Postwar Bilateral
    5 THROUGH NON-MILITARY EYES: DEVELOPING THE POSTWAR BILATERAL RELATIONSHIP Somewhere in the vast ruin of post-nuclear Hiroshima, two middle- aged Japanese men walk towards a stationary camera (see Figure 5.1). They look purposeful and strangely cheerful. As two Australian diggers slouch back into the colossal bombsite and towards the vanishing point beneath a cluster of stripped trees, the conspicuously civilian, Western- attired Japanese duo stride out of it, moving away from the militarism that led to such wholesale destruction and into a future that would be independently determined by men such as them. The photograph is carefully conceived, staged to capture a significant point of departure in postwar Japanese history—a people leaving war and military occupation behind and embarking on the task of rebuilding and remaking the nation. Significantly, this richly allegorical image was not taken by one of the professional photographers affiliated to the military and official civilian agencies. Rather, it is the work of an amateur, Hungarian-born Stephen Kelen, who served with British Commonwealth Occupation Force (BCOF) Intelligence before joining the military newspaper British Commonwealth Occupation News (BCON). Kelen was an enthusiastic and accomplished photographer. Several of the images that illustrate his memoir, I Remember Hiroshima, have become iconic pictures of the stricken city in the early stages of its reconstruction. His photographs of orphans and of an outdoor schoolroom that had sprung up in the rubble are among the best known pictures of atomic Hiroshima, featuring in 153 PACIFIC EXPOSURES Figure 5.1. Stephen Kelen, Hiroshima, c. 1946–48, published in I Remember Hiroshima (Sydney: Hale & Iremonger, 1983), 18.

    Wednesday, 17 February 2021 BRUMBY NAMED AS CHAIR OF INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION BODY Minister for Trade Martin Pakula today announced the appointment of former Victorian Premier John Brumby as the new Chair of the state’s International Education Advisory Council. Mr Brumby brings extensive education sector experience to the role as Chancellor of La Trobe University and Chair of the Advisory Board for the University of Melbourne School of Government. He will lead the Council in providing independent advice on issues relating to Victoria’s renowned international education sector. Minister Pakula thanked the outgoing Chair, Jane den Hollander AO, for her service to the Victorian international education sector and the community. The International Education Advisory Council comprises industry representatives and provides advice to the Government to help Victoria maintain its standing as a destination of choice for international students. The Andrews Labor Government is working closely with education providers and the Australian Government to welcome international students back to Victoria when it is safe to do so. The current Budget provides $33.4 million to lay the foundation for a strong recovery for the sector. When restrictions were introduced to slow the spread of coronavirus, the Labor Government responded quickly to support students and the sector. Support has been provided through the $45 million International Student Emergency Relief Fund, the $50 million Emergency Hardship Support Program, the $350 million Victorian Higher Education State Investment Fund and a $260 million TAFE funding package. New International Education Advisory Council members will be announced on the Study Melbourne website (studymelbourne.vic.gov.au) as they are appointed.
