– their tomes amassing material but often aiding little in the deeper understanding of Australian political culture. John Edwards’ magisterial two-volume life of Curtin is the standout exception here. Paul Keating tells Wallace that such accounts written amidst the political drama will pick up ‘contemporary feelings, and contemporary issues’, but that they remain ‘like polaroids of a busy life’ (223).

In his 2021 book ‘Truth-Telling: History, Sovereignty and the Uluru Statement’, Henry Reynolds called for an inquiry into the historical record of Samuel Walker Griffith, Federation ‘father’ and first Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia. Reynolds’ iconoclasm targeted a historical figure whose name is memorialised in a Riverina town, a Canberra suburb and a Queensland university. Reynolds charged that Griffith was morally and politically responsible for the violence carried out by an agency of the Queensland government, the Native Police. This historically grounded allegation relates to Griffith's pre-Federation Queensland political career, 1874–93, when he served intermittently as Premier, Attorney-General and Colonial Secretary. In this article we consider the historical record of S.W. Griffith as law-maker and ministerial decision-maker, asking what elements of fact and context may be brought to the important work of reckoning with a violent colonial past and its memorialisation in the present.

The exhibition Connections across the Coral Sea is a partnership between Queens-land Museum and the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage. On display is the story of cultural movement and interaction around and across the Coral Sea. It is an area with a human time-depth as old as the habitation of Sahul (Australia and New Guinea): 65,000 years. The archipelagos off New Guinea were settled 40,000 – 30,000 years ago, and a land bridge remained at Torres Strait until 8,000 years ago. More recent movements out of Asia and into the Western Paci fi c occurred between 3,500 and 2,500 years ago. These migrants spoke Austronesian languages and developed ‘ Lapita ’ pottery. The exhibition uses recent research and the Queensland Museum ’ s excellent collection to uncover ancient two-way cultural movements across the Coral Sea. It features the Torres Strait Islands and the Dingaal and Ngurrumungu nations from North Queensland. There are many unknowns in the settlement of the Paci fi c and Australia, not least the early, late and post-Lapita movements. Prehistorians have found few connections between the north and south of Sahul. Earlier research on the Lapita migrants suggested they avoided the underbelly of New Guinea, working their way along the north coast, loitering for a thousand years in the Bismarck Archipelago, then leapfrogging over most of the Solomon Islands, settling in the Santa Cruz group and Vanuatu, before continuing into Remote Oceania. The Queensland Museum exhibition deals with connections around the Coral Sea, raising implications for Australian and Paci fi c history, which have been known to prehistorians for a decade, but not by the public or even, I suspect, most modern historians.

This article will explore how Chinese-language newspapers published in Australia between 1894 and 1912 engaged with Indigenous affairs, and in doing so, articulated Chinese perspectives on settler colonial governance. The rising racial hostility against the Chinese at that time rendered them sympathetic and empathetic towards the plight of Indigenous people. Chinese editors and journalists not only demonstrated that Indigenous affairs were intertwined with Chinese concerns, but also addressed the centrality of Indigenous matters in settler colonial governance, both ethically and administratively. By drawing on traditional Chinese principles and practice of statecraft, these newspapers attempted to remonstrate with the authorities about statecraft, benevolent governance, and political legitimacy.

In British colonial domestic life, the central mechanism for the smooth running of the household was entrusted to the multitudes of servants. Among the coterie of domestic servants of houseboys, bearers, butlers, cooks, water carriers, guards, gardeners, and sweepers were the ayahs or amahs. These were the nursemaids or nannies that colonial families with children employed. The term ayah was used in India and amah in other Southeast Asian colonies and these terms are used interchangeably in this exhibition. Ayahs and Amahs: Transcolonial Journeys is an online exhibition created by three historians, Victoria Haskins (University of Newcastle), Claire Lowrie (University of Wollongong) and Swapna Banerjee (City University of New York), and is funded by the University of Newcastle. The exhibition is part of the Ayahs and Amahs: Transcolonial Servants in Australia and Britain 1780–1945 project, funded by the Australian Research Council. It is designed by historian Lauren Samuelsson with research assistance by Srishti Guha. Ayahs and Amahs narrates the stories, memories and histories of Indian, Chinese, and other Asian care workers who travelled across the British colonies and settlements. The exhibition explores the mobility of their lives through representations and memories of the itinerant domestic workers in the last two centuries. The three historians have published widely on domestic service in the colonies and have collaborated with each other on numerous projects. Their expertise on cross-cultural histories of gender, labour, intersection of gender, class, race, and ethnicity in Asia shines through the incisive scrutiny of objects exhibited. It is no surprise that they have curated this outstanding virtual exhibition, which includes a treasure trove of ephemera, photograms, video films and oral interview recordings.

在英国殖民时期的家庭生活中，家庭平稳运转的核心机制被委托给众多的仆人。在家庭佣人的小圈子里，男仆、搬运工、管家、厨师、挑水工、警卫、园丁和清洁工都是ayahs或amahs。这些是有孩子的殖民地家庭雇佣的保姆或保姆。“ayah”一词在印度使用，而“amah”一词在其他东南亚殖民地使用，这些术语在本次展览中可以互换使用。Ayahs and Amahs: Transcolonial之旅是由三位历史学家Victoria Haskins(纽卡斯尔大学)、Claire Lowrie(伍伦贡大学)和Swapna Banerjee(纽约城市大学)创建的在线展览，由纽卡斯尔大学资助。该展览是由澳大利亚研究委员会资助的“Ayahs和Amahs: 1780-1945年澳大利亚和英国的跨殖民地仆人”项目的一部分。它由历史学家Lauren Samuelsson设计，Srishti Guha协助研究。《阿雅和阿玛》讲述了印度、中国和其他亚洲护理工作者在英国殖民地和定居点旅行的故事、记忆和历史。展览通过对过去两个世纪的流动家政工人的再现和记忆，探索了他们生活的流动性。这三位历史学家发表了大量关于殖民地家政服务的文章，并在许多项目上相互合作。他们对亚洲性别、劳动、性别、阶级、种族和民族的交叉的跨文化历史的专业知识在对展出物品的敏锐审视中闪耀。毫不奇怪，他们策划了这个杰出的虚拟展览，其中包括蜉蝣，照片，视频电影和口头采访录音的宝藏。这些资料来自档案馆、博物馆、图书馆和

Unaipon descendant, Kym Kropinyeri, had promised to Unaipon and other Ngarrindjeri elders that he would pass on their history, including accounts of what happened to them at Point McLeay mission. This article addresses the Unaipon inventions. We provide a comprehensive account of Unaipon’s patent applications and the Protection-era restrictions that impacted Aboriginal inventors. The fate of Unaipon’s much celebrated 1909 shearing patent is fully explored. Exploitation of this invention is contextualised with reference to the patent activities of one of the most successful twentieth-century agricultural conglomerates that sold shearing handpieces, Cooper Engineering Ltd (Aust). Unaipon’s claim he was ripped off is considered in light of the demands made on him by the Chief Protector, politicians, religious groups, museum staff, and harassment by mission superintendents and police. All these factors impacted the capacity of Unaipon to pursue his scientific interests and delivered him into poverty.
