By denying the Tampa and its cargo of asylum seekers permission to dock at the nearest landfall of Christmas Island, Australia signalled that it was dramatically closing its national borders. Trading on fear, and using mandatory detention in the Pacific, John Howard and Philip Ruddock effectively excluded asylum seekers from the Australian courts. Frank Brennan argues that the Australian government's response was a massive overreaction, possible only because Australia is a remote country with few asylum seekers and no land borders. He compares Australia's response with that of the United States and Europe and provides a practical blueprint for countries wanting to humanely protect asylum seekers. 2005-11-22T00:00:00Z Brennan, Frank http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:193019 No abstract available 2010-01-18T00:00:00Z Wiltshire, Kenneth W. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:220335 2010-11-15T00:00:00Z Rendle-Short, John, 1919- og Clancy, Helen og Sandoz Working Party on Definition, Nomenclature and Classification (1969 : University of Queensland) http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:9000 This is an extract from The Bibliography of Australian Literature, F-J, (BAL) edited by John Arnold and John Hay. The Bibliography of Australian Literature F-J is the second of four planned volumes which aim to record details of all separately published creative literature by Australian writers from the late 18th century to the early 21st century. Volume one of BAL covering A-E authors was published in 2001. The entries are organised alphabetically by author name and provide brief biographical details - dates and places of birth and death, and any names the author is known by. Core genres covered in BAL are poetry, fiction, drama and children's writing. BAL has no canon, aiming to include all works by Australian authors regardless of perceived or accepted literary merit - the self-published book of verse is as relevant as prize-winning novels of internationally renowned Australian writers. Prolific writers of romance, science fiction and fantasy, crime novels and westerns - all generally categorised as pulp fiction - whose works are often excluded from mainstream bibliographies are included in BAL F-J. For each work in a core genre, details of the first edition and, where applicable, the first Australian, UK, US, Canadian and New Zealand editions are listed, as well as significant new or revised editions and translations. To ensure accuracy and to avoid the repetition of errors in earlier bibliographies and catalogues, we have endeavoured to physically examine all first editions, except pulp fiction. Awards won and additional information pertinent to an individual title or author is also included. Where an author has also published in non-fiction fields, titles are selectively listed under 'Other Works Include'. These works are not sighted, nor listed comprehensively. The indexes of titles and pseudonyms/variant writing names enhances the extensive alphabetical author listing and makes The Bibliography of Australian Literature an essential reference work for the reading, study and collecting of Australian literature. The Bibliography of Australian Literature is now compiled in and derived from AustLit: The Resource for Australian Literature (http://www.austlit.edu.au/), a unique collaboration between eight Australian universities and the National Library of Australia, which is exploring and detailing Australia's literary heritage. BAL is compiled by the AustLit team. Two further volumes of BAL will be published by 2008. AustLit and BAL are led by The University of Queensland. 2005-10-31T00:00:00Z http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:195370 No abstract available 2010-02-15T00:00:00Z http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:222651 2010-11-26T00:00:00Z Hailstone, Thomas Sydney. og Stephenson, W.

The talented black cricketers who toured England in 1868 have become one of Australia's enduring sporting legends. Aboriginal sporting heroes are found in many sports today, from football to tennis, boxing and athletics, but it was very different in the nineteenth century when the pastoral frontier was still bitterly disputed by whites and blacks. Aboriginal workers on the Wimmera sheep stations began to develop and organise their cricketing skills during the 1860s and were recruited into a team by station owner and former Test cricketer Tom Wills. On Boxing Day 1866 they played before 8000 people at the MCG, followed by a disastrous Sydney tour which led to the deaths of some players. Their talents however caught the eye of Sydney publican Charles Lawrence who saw there was money to be made, not just from their cricketing ability - which was considerable - but also from their spear-throwing prowess and their uncanny control of the boomerang and the stockwhip. Lawrence took over from Wills as their captain-coach and the publican-turned-impresario set sail for England with his team of multi-talented cricketers who won the hearts of specators wherever they performed. The team's record against the professional English players was highly respectable winning 14 and drawing 19 matches out of 47. Former Test player Ashley Mallett has dramatically reconstructed this important pioneering tour of England and has also included the careers of later black players, including the famous fast bowler Eddie Gilbert who died tragically without fulfilling his potential. 2005-11-22T00:00:00Z Mallett, Ashley http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:205535 No abstract available 2010-05-26T00:00:00Z Gallaway, Jack http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:190657 No abstract available 2009-12-21T00:00:00Z Thomis, Malcolm I.

(Harold Trevor), 1927- http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:8994 This is an extract from the introduction and a sample of the annotated verse from The Collected Verse of Mary Gilmore: Volume 1: 1887-1929 edited by Jennifer Strauss. Mary Gilmore was Australia's foremost woman poet during the first half of the twentieth century as well as an activist who cared about what Australians had done to the continent's Indigenous people and its natural environment. Yet Gilmore was intensely proud of her pioneer heritage. Her sometimes inconsistent ideas about European settlement, White Australia, the Church, sexuality, eugenics, heroism and warfare provide vivid insights into the social and ideological shifts and conflicts that have marked the course of Australian history. Volume One of this two-volume edition of Gilmore's poetry covers the period from 1887 to 1929. It re-unites 388 previously uncollected poems with those chosen for her published collections of this period. For the first time we have a clear view of the poet of radical politics who co-existed with the bush balladist of The Tilted Cart and the singer of passion and domesticity, much approved for the 'womanliness' of Marri'd and Other Verses and The Passionate Heart. Gilmore was still working her way in middle age towards the control over form and voice that distinguishes the work to be found in Volume Two, due for publication in 2006. In this variorum edition her poetry has benefited from a scholarly editorial scrutiny. Both volumes provide reliable texts of all her published poems as well as documenting the often revealing alternative readings when the poems were republished for different audiences in journals, collections and anthologies. Annotation has also been provided for contemporary references and allusions that might otherwise be unclear to the modern reader. 2005-11-02T00:00:00Z http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:8916 This is a sample from The Compendium: Australian Olympic Statistics 1896-2002 by the Australian Olympic Committee.

The Equal Heart and Mind is an intimate portrait of poet Judith Wright and philosopher Jack McKinney. Set in Brisbane and at Mt Tamborine, where they lived for almost twenty years, these letters vividly recreate their intertwined lives and also paint an unforgettable picture of postwar Brisbane with its lively cabals of writers, artists and intellectuals. For decades, Judith Wright kept secret this cache of letters, giving them late in life to her daughter Meredith McKinney. Meredith and Patricia Clarke have edited the letters, interspersing them with poems, a selection of family album photographs and facsimiles of some of the handwritten and typescript letters. Meredith also contributes a special memoir of her parents, and the book concludes with Judith's moving account of Jack's death in 1966. These letters, poems and commentaries - along with the illustrations - together make an exquisite addition to the field of Australian literary biography. 2005-11-03T00:00:00Z http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:8908 This is chapter 1 of The Federation Mirror: Queensland 1901-2001 by Ross Fitzgerald. '"We are still Queenslanders, but Queenslander is henceforth a state of the Commonwealth and our citizenship is as wide as the Australian continent"' - Brisbane Courier, 2 January 1901 (the day after the vote for Federation) And Queenslanders we remain, even into this century. This is the message that renowned historian Ross Fitzgerald brings back from his fabulous journey across Queensland, as witness to the recent celebrations of Federation in the many towns and regions. From Far North Queensland to the western townships of Barcaldine and Longreach, to the Darling Downs and the central coast of Rockhampton, he reflects back to us the mood of Queenslanders today as they honour the achievements of one hundred years and the momentous vote for national unity. To appreciate in full the sense of Queensland pride in a century of achievement since Federation, this book is set out in two parts. Ending with the accounts of Federation celebrations across the state, it begins in 1901 when the Commonwealth was declared. This was an era in Queensland when economic uncertainty and frontier individualism dominated, when not all Queenslanders were in favour of the movement toward a unified nation. This comparison of Queensland in 1901 and 2001 is richly illustrated with archival and contemporary photographs. As the Chair of the Centenary of Federation Queensland, Ross Fitzgerald is uniquely placed to chart the distinctive culture and character of this great state. 2005-11-22T00:00:00Z Fitzgerald, Ross http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:202200 No abstract available 2010-04-09T00:00:00Z Fitzgerald, Ross http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:9014 This is the introduction to The French Explorers and the Aboriginal Australians, 1772-1839 by Colin Dyer. This highly readable account opens a fascinating window - and a fresh perspective - on the early European exploration of Australia. These French explorers and scientists kept journals, many of which, until very recently, remained obscure and untranslated. Their cultural insights are invaluable, sometimes shocking and always engaging. Here are to be found detailed descriptions of the Aboriginal peoples' physical appearances, their clothing, nutrition, dwellings, fires, canoes and utensils along with attempts to understand their character and language. The Aboriginal observers, however, displayed an equally keen anthropological interest in these strange apparitions arriving on their shores. Turning the cultural telescope around, this volume provides an unexpected and revealing glimpse of the French travellers through Aboriginal eyes. This book, and its illustrations, has drawn extensively on the collections of Fryer Library at the University of Queensland. 2005-10-28T00:00:00Z Dyer, Colin http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:221489 2010-11-18T00:00:00Z Mather, Wharton B.

The Ideas Book brings together inspiration and innovation from leading Australian and international thinkers, critics and activists. They offer ideas about the future, the past and the here and now, about what we are thinking and what we are. How do we reconcile the local and the global? Do we risk hope or recoil in fear? What are the patterns of the future? How will we survive? Will we accept differences? Is there a future without an appraisal of the past? Can we lay to rest outdated ideas? With challenging and provocative ideas about where we are now, how we got here, where we can go and how we might get there, this important collection provokes, inspires and challenges the way we think. 2005-10-31T00:00:00Z http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:221996 2010-11-23T00:00:00Z Wilson, Graham Langdon. og Whiteman, P.

A prophet whose confident prophecies were frequently proved wrong, B. A. Santamaria profoundly affected 20th century Australian political life. Although he rarely gave interviews and never held elected office, Santamaria became widely known through his regular commentaries in the Australian and in his magazine News Weekly. The Pope's Battalions considers Santamaria's role and influence from the late 1930s - when he was a young Catholic Actionist in Melbourne - to his death in 1998. This prominent Cold War warrior founded the secretive National Civic Council and was the brains behind the Democratic Labor Party. His militant political Catholicism was central to the traumatic mid-1950s split in the ALP which kept the party out of office until the 1970s. Building on his battle against Communist influence in the trade unions, Santamaria boldly attempted to capture the ALP and transform it into a European-style Christian Democrat party. The ensuing split was disastrous, demoralising the ALP, and casting Santamaria out of the Labor fold for all time. Whitlam's electoral victories finally put out the lights for the DLP, and Santamaria thereafter found new dragons to fight, including secular humanism, feminism, permissiveness and the decline of the family. To the end he maintained his unflagging, if sometimes contradictory, opposition to both Communism and capitalism. 2005-11-22T00:00:00Z Fitzgerald, Ross http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:189648 2009-12-10T00:00:00Z http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:207281 2010-07-09T00:00:00Z Andrews, Robert John. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:205963 No abstract available 2010-06-08T00:00:00Z Evans, Raymond http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:202135 No abstract available 2010-04-09T00:00:00Z Burstall, Terry http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:199316 No abstract available 2010-03-15T00:00:00Z http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:221596 2010-11-19T00:00:00Z Marks, Elizabeth N.

They were the best Olympic Games ever. They provided us not just with magnificent spectacle and wondrous athletic endeavour, but with a period of sheer happiness and unity, possibly unmatched in the nation's history. For most Australians, those Sydney Games really did come to represent the time of our lives. This incisive and often eloquent book dissects all aspects of those Games: the inspiring deeds of champions like Cathy Freeman and Ian Thorpe, the stories behind so many heroic performances, the planning behind Sydney 2000, the political and personal dramas that occurred as the organising team went about its work. Harry Gordon has written from the inside about the disasters and scandals that afflicted Sydney's progress to the Olympics, about the friendships that were fractured along the way, and about the torch relay that seemed somehow to cause all the problems to evaporate. His is the absorbing, candid and ultimately inspirational story about the people who made it all happen on and off the arenas, and how they did it. The Time of Our Lives is a companion to Gordon's landmark history of 1994, Australia and the Olympic Games. While the emphasis is on Sydney 2000, it also traces Australia's involvement in the Games from the Atlanta Centennial Olympics of 1996 through the winter Games of 1998 and 2002. In doing so it takes the reader inside the minds of such champions as Kieren Perkins and Susan O'Neill as well as the unexpected winter gold medallists of Salt Lake City, Alisa Camplin and Steven Bradbury. In so many cases, it is a tale of triumph over adversity. This is an exceptional book about events that represented an exceptional experience for Australians everywhere. 2005-11-22T00:00:00Z Gordon, Harry http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:203585 No abstract available 2010-04-20T00:00:00Z Singe, John http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:221472 2010-11-18T00:00:00Z Williams, Cecil Harold. og Hines, Herbert John Garnham. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:198830 No abstract available 2010-03-11T00:00:00Z University of Queensland. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:190655 No abstract available 2009-12-21T00:00:00Z Robinson, Frederick Walter, 1888-1971. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:195376 2010-02-15T00:00:00Z University of Queensland. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:198783 No abstract available 2010-03-11T00:00:00Z http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:193023 2010-01-18T00:00:00Z Schaffer, Benjamin Bernard, 1925-1984. og Knight, Kenneth W.
