On January 19th, 1945, hundreds of Sinatra-haters violently descended on a small group of young fans who had come to see STEP LIVELY (1944) at the Empire Theatre in Sydney, Australia. The angry mob jeered and assaulted members of the Sinatra Club, bitterly deriding them as “swooners." Police broke things up, but the haters stayed to boo throughout the screening then stalk fans through the streets as they headed home. This terrifying incident was the result of months of anti-Sinatra resentment boiling over in Australian society. In response, photographer Ivan Ives decided to give the Sinatra Club a chance, and set out - in a series of remarkably beautiful candid shots, only recently unearthed - to show the world who they really were. Meanwhile, the Step Lively brawl had sparked a national controversy that culminated in a near-riot of thousands in Melbourne four months later. And by 1947, ‘Sinatra clubs' had become a national phenomenon that seemed to bring the best and worst out of the nation's youth - everything from tranquil listening parties and camping trips to gang violence, a vengeful home invasion and even an illegal attempt to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Through it all, there was the Voice; for these kids, Sinatra was their whole world. These surreal events were all but completely forgotten with time and have never been reported on since they occurred. Until now.

Serial startup innovator & Redbubble co-founder Martin Hosking believes that aside from those enduring values learned from his mum, his University of Melbourne History degree, of all things, plus his career stint as an Australian diplomat, navigating the tricky politics of the Middle East, were perfect foundations for his eventual entrepreneurial journey.  Throw in returning to uni to complete an MBA and time working as a management consultant at McKinsey's, Hosking believes all that experience gave him one of the most valuable gifts a good entrepreneur needs: Perspective. In Part 2 of our chat, Martin reveals why competitors, even someone as dominant and canny as Amazon's Jeff Bezos cannot really successfully compete with,  knock off or steal Redbubble's business; why delaying a public listing helped Redbubble; and he offers sage but unexpected advice to younger would-be entrepreneurs, keen to make their mark.

Joanna Cruickshank (Deakin University, Melbourne): History, Law and Treaty-Making with Indigenous Peoples in Australia In February 2016, the Victorian state government became the first Australian jurisdiction to announce its intention to work towards a treaty with Indigenous people. As of late 2018, the treaty process is well underway. In this paper I discuss an Australian Research Council-funded project that is providing context for treaty processes between Australian governments and Indigenous people, by researching the history of lawful relations in Australia since colonization. By making accessible this history through a diversity of outcomes, the project is informing policy and seeking to educate the broader community about the practical activities of conducting lawful relations in the present. Joanna Cruickshank is Senior Lecturer in History at Deakin University and a Chief Investigator on the ARC-funded project Indigenous Leaders: Lawful Relations from Encounter to Treaty. Recent publications include 'Colonial Contexts and Global Dissent' in The Oxford History of Dissenting Traditions (2017). Her book White Women, Aboriginal Missions and Australian Settler Governments will be published by Brill in 2019. History & Policy exists to put historians in touch with policy makers, encourage historically informed comment in public policy debate and put excellent history at the heart of policy making. Although we are the only project of our kind in the UK we are far from being the only one in the world. For this conference, which will be open to policy makers and the public, we are partnering with the American Historical Association and Australian Policy & History for a day of panels and discussion to explore how history informs public policy debate in different countries. What are the success stories, how do policy makers vary in their receptiveness, what can historians learn from each other and from the policy makers they talk to, and have particular topics got more traction in some places than others?

Cultural geographer Tim Edensor is passionate about place. His career has taken him from the Taj Mahal to industrial ruins in England's north, and now to Melbourne and its stone buildings. Wandering is the best way to get to know a place, says Dr Tim Edensor, and as a cultural geographer who has explored everything from what Christmas lights reveal about British class identity to Melbourne's old stone buildings, he should know.Episode recorded: March 1 2018Interviewer: Steve GrimwadeProducers: Dr Andi Horvath, Chris Hatzis and Silvi Vann-WallAudio engineer: Arch CuthbertsonBanner image: Travellers Travel Photobook/Flickr

For more than a decade, John and Mary Green served as managers at Coranderrk Aboriginal reserve. Their love for those on the reserve is a testimony to God at work in and through them. We see the Apostle Paul share a love for those he served in 1 Corinthians 9:19-27a as we are challenged to live with a similar love for others. A message by David Toscano

Much of migration to Melbourne is studied in a post-war context dominated by Greeks and Italians fleeing a post-war Europe, but it undoubtedly goes back much further. Asian migrants played a notable part in the city’s growth, and these people bought new languages and culture with them.
