This article examines Australia's formal acknowledgement of South Vietnamese veterans and the controversies that arose in the Australian Parliament over this issue in 1985–1986. It draws on a wide range of archival sources and government documents in the National Archives of Australia and the National Library of Australia as well as a major national oral history collection. The archival record not only reflects on attitudes from both sides of politics towards the Vietnam War and the Vietnamese refugees that followed in the aftermath of the war but also on the ways in which Australia dealt with a significant refugee community and specifically the war veterans in that community. The oral histories reveal that Australia's recognition of the war service of South Vietnamese veterans made an important contribution to the transition of the veterans and their families to a sense of belonging in Australia and new identities as Vietnamese Australians.</p>","PeriodicalId":45431,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Politics and History","volume":"71 3","pages":"479-495"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145196637","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}

The newly established LPA also sought to encourage women to join the party and to seek political office. This led the LPA to achieve most of the “firsts” for women in Australian politics and, for much of the 20th century, the party enjoyed more support from women than from men. A significant shift occurred in the 1980s, however, leading to its transformation from a party of choice for women to one that increasingly lost favour with them.
