There’s valuable information recorded in Chinese on Tasmania’s old Chinese headstones that is gradually disappearing, like on Claude Nam Shing’s headstone in Cornelian Bay Cemetery. I’ve worked out some of the characters, but not all of them. Any thoughts, clever people? 🗃️ #EverdayHeritage

This is in a new history of Aus, written by an academic. There were Jewish quotas. There were interviews so that immigration officers could make sure that no Jews were included in the 170,000 DPs. "The Holocaust" was not yet a thing.

"Persian forces readers to confront the uneasy coexistence of humanitarianism and hypocrisy in Australia’s post-war nation-building." Pierluigi Bolioli reviews @drjpersian.bsky.social's 'Fascists in Exile' for @jich.bsky.social (advance access) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

My contribution to the Whitlam discourse is that, in my research around leftist allegations against Croatians & ASIO, Jim Cairns could generously be termed naive and/or not someone who needed hard evidence in order to agree in principle to firebombing people's homes.

Sue Silberg, PHA (Vic and Tas), shares some research about the cosmopolitan life of Jewish traders, and later politicians, in the tropics. The Australian colonial project is clear here with discussion about the Polynesian Company, a poor colony's Dutch East India Company. #history #traders

Weida Chen shared some findings from his thesis about Greeks in NT, with particular concentration on military men. #history #immigration #research

As it's October and the 'Halloween as an imported American thing' discourse has begun, I thought I'd mention that in Australia, the Scottish diaspora, especially in the first half of the 20th century, celebrated Halloween as a particular Scottish tradition, as attested to by many articles on Trove.

Does anyone have a good recommendation on a history of the White Australia Policy? The internet keeps telling me to read one that specifically ends at 1920 which is too early for my needs
