Download or read book Australians in Papua New Guinea 1960–1975 written by Ceridwen Spark and published by University of Queensland Press. This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australians in Papua New Guinea provides a history of the late Australian years in Papua New Guinea through the eyes of 13 Australians and four Papua New Guineans by presenting the experiences of Australians who went to work in Papua New Guinea (PNG) over several decades before the 1970s. This extraordinary book balances expatriates with indigenous Papua New Guineans, balances gender, and pioneers an innovative combination of written reminiscences and interviews that reveal the impact of Australian colonial policy on pre-indendence PNG. It follows medical practitioners Michael Alpers, Ken Clezy, Margaret Smith, Ian Maddocks, and Anthony Radford (with accompanying reflections by wife, Robin) who grappled with complex medical issues in difficult surroundings. Other contributors—John Langmore, John Ley, and Bill Brown—became experts in governance. The final group featured was involved in education and social change: Ken Inglis, Bill Gammage, and Christine Stewart. Papua New Guinean contributors: medical expert Sir Isi Henao Kevau, diplomats Charles Lepani and Dame Meg Taylor, and educator and politician Dame Carol Kidu further deepen the insights of this collection. A final reflection is provided by historian Jonathan Ritchie, himself part of an Australian family in PNG. The history of this important Pacific nation unfolds as do the histories of individuals who were involved in its formative decades.

Book Synopsis A Trial Separation by : Donald Denoon
Download or read book A Trial Separation written by Donald Denoon and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it came in September 1975, Papua New Guinea's independence was marked by both anxiety and elation. In the euphoric aftermath, decolonisation was declared a triumph and immediate events seemed to justify that confidence. By the 1990s, however, events had taken a turn for the worse and there were doubts about the capacity of the State to function. Before independence, Papua New Guinea was an Australian Territory. Responsibility lay with a minister in Canberra and services were provided by Commonwealth agencies. In 1973, Prime Minister Gough Whitlam declared that independence should be achieved within two years. While Australians were united in their desire to decolonise, many Papua New Guineans were nervous of independence. This superlative history presents the full story of the 'trial separation' of Australia and Papua New Guinea, concluding that -- given the intertwined history, geography and economies of the two neighbours -- the decolonisation project of 'independence' is still a work in progress.

Book Synopsis Australia's Northern Shield? by : Bruce Hunt
Download or read book Australia's Northern Shield? written by Bruce Hunt and published by Investigating Power. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to draw extensively on the recently released highly classified notes of the cabinet room discussions of successive Australian Governments, from 1950 to the mid-1970s. It details the changing attitude of the nation's leaders towards the place of Papua New Guinea in Australia's defense and security outlook. The Cabinet Notebooks provide an uncensored and unprecedented insight into the opinion of Australia's leaders towards Indonesia under Sukarno, Southeast Asia and Indo-China in general; the changing nature of relations with Britain and the United States; and towards Papua New Guinea. The cabinet room discussions reveal attitudes towards Asia and Australia's place in the region which are more nuanced, varied, and sensitive than previously known. They also illustrate the dominant influence of Prime Minister Robert Menzies and Deputy Prime Minister John McEwen in shaping Australia's response to the critical events of the time. Australia's Northern Shield? shows how, since colonial times, Australia has assessed the importance of Papua New Guinea by examining the ambitions of and threats from external sources, principally Imperial Germany, Japan, and Indonesia. It examines the significant change in Australia's attitude as this region approached independence in 1975, amid concerns as to the new nation's future stability and unity. The terms of Australia's long-term defense undertaking are examined in detail, and an examination is offered of the most recent attempts to define the strategic importance of Papua New Guinea to Australia.

Book Synopsis Guarding the Periphery by : Tristan Moss
Download or read book Guarding the Periphery written by Tristan Moss and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-09-22 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based around the Pacific Islands Regiment, the Australian Army's units in Papua New Guinea had a dual identity: integral to Australia's defence, but also part of its largest colony, and viewed as a foreign people. The Australian Army in PNG defended Australia from threats to its north and west, while also managing the force's place within Australian colonial rule in PNG, occasionally resulting in a tense relationship with the Australian colonial government during a period of significant change. In Guarding the Periphery: The Australian Army in Papua New Guinea, 1951–75, Tristan Moss explores the operational, social and racial aspects of this unique force during the height of the colonial era in PNG and during the progression to independence. Combining the rich detail of both archival material and oral histories, Guarding the Periphery recounts a part of Australian military history that is often overlooked by studies of Australia's military past.

Book Synopsis Capital Punishment, Clemency and Colonialism in Papua New Guinea, 1954–65 by : Murray Chisholm
Download or read book Capital Punishment, Clemency and Colonialism in Papua New Guinea, 1954–65 written by Murray Chisholm and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2024-07-02 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study builds on a close examination of an archive of files that advised the Australian Commonwealth Executive on Papua New Guineans found guilty of capital offences in PNG between 1954 and 1965. These files provide telling insight into conceptions held by officials at different stages of the justice process into justice, savagery and civilisation, and colonialism and Australia’s role in the world. The particular combination of idealism and self-interest, liberalism and paternalism, and justice and authoritarianism axiomatic to Australian colonialism becomes apparent and enables discussion of Australia’s administration of PNG in the lead-up to the acceptance of independence as an immediate policy goal. The files show Australia gathering the authority to grant mercy into the hands of the Commonwealth and then devolving it back to the territories. In these transitions, the capital case review files show the trajectory of Australian colonialism during a period when the administration was unsure of the duration and nature of its future relationship with PNG.

This book was released on 2016-02-15 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forty years after independence, Papua New Guinea is the largest single recipient of aid from Australia. Yet Australians seem to be largely ambivalent about the country. Few Australians know the history of our colonial rule in PNG and our long ties to the country are quickly being forgotten. PNG expert Sean Dorney examines PNG's weaknesses and strengths since independence and argues that, for moral and practical reasons, Australia needs to reconnect with Papua New Guinea. It is time we shed our embarrassment about our colonial past and embrace our relationship with our nearest neighbour.

Book Synopsis Guarding the Periphery by : Tristan Edward Moss
Download or read book Guarding the Periphery written by Tristan Edward Moss and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For twenty-four years Papua New Guinean units were a substantial part of the Australian Army, constituting the only regular force in Papua New Guinea (PNG) during the 1950s, and providing two battalions to secure the border with Indonesia during Confrontation. By 1972, shortly before Papua New Guinean independence, Papua New Guineans made up almost one in ten of the regular soldiers in the Australian Army. Just three years later, these men became the defence force of an independent PNG. Yet, there has been little scholarship that has addressed in detail the development of this force, the experiences of the soldiers within it, and its interaction with both the Australian colonial administration and PNG's independence in 1975. This thesis is the first study of the Australian Army in PNG to make extensive use of archival material and oral histories from both Australia and PNG. In doing so, it seeks to take advantage of under-utilised Papua New Guinean sources as well as the wealth of material that has only recently been released. This thesis explores the development of Papua New Guinean units from a colonial force to the independent Papua New Guinean Defence Force. It finds that while the Papua New Guinean units were initially raised overwhelmingly in the interests of Australian defence, the needs of an independent PNG were increasingly taken into account by the Army to such an extent that they coexisted as a secondary consideration for a significant period, becoming the Army's primary concern during the decade before independence. This thesis also examines the centrality of the treatment of Papua New Guineans to the development of the Army in PNG, showing that the changing perception of this unique group of soldiers shaped their role within the force. Finally, it questions the assumption that the Australian Army remained separate from wider developmental changes occurring in PNG during this period, revealing that the Army prepared for the possibility of Papua New Guinean nationhood even as it was tasked with defending Australia's interests. By examining the history of the Australian Army in PNG, and those who served within it, this thesis broadens our conception of how Australia was defended and of who defended it.
