| | Australia: Labor in Politics |
| | Australia had to build almost all its railroads by state action, because early private efforts broke down. | | | Beyond that, it approved the party& championing of Australian nationalism, for Labor was more wholehearted in its advocacy of White Australia, federation, a navy, and a citizen army than were the anti-Labor parties. | | | It also liked the democratic and progressive proposals for electoral reform, improved education, general social betterment, help to farmers, attacks on monopolies, and so on. |

| | They were born of the fears that the English ruling classes were experiencing with the rise of radical ideas from the French and American revolutions, especially egalitarian republicanism and secularism. | | | The reactionary religious movement in Australia has parallels with the events occurring in the United States. | | | The decision by Labor came under significant criticism by parties such as the Greens and was the source of a great deal of internal division and loss of support within the party, which has hitherto been previously the source of significant reform for secular law reform. |

| | In October 2001, two days into an election campaign in which Prime Minister John Howard successfully portrayed his government as tough on border protection, ministers claimed that illegal immigrants aboard a fishing boat code-named SIEV 4 (suspected illegal entry vessel 4) had thrown children into the sea. | | | This, government ministers suggested, was an attempt at blackmail: sailors from H.M.A.S. Adelaide, which had apprehended the vessel, would be forced to rescue the children, thus improving their families' chances of gaining entry to Australia. | | | Defence Minister Peter Reith, citing photographic and video evidence, said at the time: "It is an absolute fact - children were thrown into the water." The media demanded proof. |

| | The avowed purpose of the semi-official "National Sorry Day" organised in Australia last week, sponsored by various government agencies, state and local administrations, churches and business leaders, was for the "nation" to apologise to the Aboriginal people for the forced removal of more than 100,000 children from their families between the 1880s and 1960s. | | | The day was timed to mark the first anniversary of the Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission report, Bringing Them Home, which documented the cruelty inflicted upon the "stolen children" and their families right up until the early 1970s. | | | Precisely because of the powerful sense of injustice felt on such a widespread scale, great efforts were made in the media and the political establishment to prevent a critical examination of the historical issues involved: Why were Aboriginal children systematically separated from their families? |
