In charting ROTA's lobbying efforts after the war, this article argues that while ROTA's successful campaign for a national memorial in Canberra ensured Tobruk's place in the national commemorative landscape, the association's development of relationships with schools across Australia has ensured the posterity of the siege in Australian popular memory at an individual level. On the other hand, ROTA's failed attempts to secure a dedicated National Day of Commemoration for the siege and legal protection for the word “Tobruk” demonstrate the dominance of Anzac within the Australian psyche, which influenced government decisions on these matters.

Long known as a useful source for historians of Melbourne in the colonial era, and recognised as a vibrant Bohemian magazine in its early days, Melbourne Punch is also known as the publisher of Tom Carrington's (1843–1918) cartoons attacking the radical reforming premier Graham Berry (1822–1904). Yet the role of Carrington's employers—Alex McKinley and his brother and long-time Punch editor James McKinley (1847–1908)—is not well appreciated, despite it being fundamental to the political message conveyed on a weekly basis by the magazine and its contributors. Through a close study in particular of Alex McKinley's career, Melbourne Punch is revealed to have been much more than the stereotypically conservative magazine of scholarship to date; or a backward-looking periodical fixated on its British model out-of-touch with the coming generation of the Bulletin school. Rather, it was a powerful tool, indispensable to the McKinleys as nascent press barons, Land Boomers, and even budding statesmen, before the disastrous 1890s crash. Thereafter it was crucial in the rebuilding of their reputations and their power, as Alex pursued local politics and attempted to define the upper echelons of society, from the Federation era, and through the Great War, right down to the mid-1920s.","PeriodicalId":45431,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Politics and History","volume":"72 1","pages":"35-68"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ajph.70014","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147567676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

John Dunmore Lang (1799–1878) made radical arguments for disestablishment and full religious freedom. He was also vociferous—yet paternalistic—in his defense of the full humanity of Aboriginal people. Lang's views on religious liberty have not been brought into conversation with his complex attitudes towards Aborigines, whom he saw as potential rather than full rights-bearing subjects. Through a close examination of Lang's published and unpublished work, this article argues that Lang's views on religious liberty were an outworking of a larger vision of human personhood and the entwining of civil and political rights that underpinned his work. This exploration of Lang's work is a window into a broader moment of transformation in the mid-19th-century British imperial world, in which struggles for colonial self-government were shaped by contestation over the rights of imperial subjects, and to whom these rights extended.","PeriodicalId":45431,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Politics and History","volume":"72 1","pages":"92-107"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147566473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Public debate revealed Indigenous Australians to be ideologically diverse. We use survey data to document some of this, including a lack of commitment, among some, to the historical perspective underpinning the Uluru Statement. However useful it was to the No case during the Voice debate, disunity of opinion hardly disqualifies the Indigenous claim to peoplehood. More significant to Indigenous Australians was whether a single body could represent the many First Nations, and the relationship between recognising the Voice (with or without constitutional amendment) and negotiating a treaty. The No campaign, with some Indigenous support, made much of the issue of whether Indigenous Australians are “peoples” with collective rights, or a “race” made up of many individual citizens with no distinct collective rights within a liberal polity. Distaste for “race” (as concept and legal term) was found, in different forms, on both sides of the referendum debate.","PeriodicalId":45431,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Politics and History","volume":"72 1","pages":"69-91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ajph.70015","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147567678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
