The first Socialist Party of Australia’s main form of propaganda, besides its weekly paper The Socialist, was outdoor, street-corner meetings, and this is where they soon came up against the power of the state.
The Socialist Party was – due partly to paper restrictions – unable to publish its official journal, Socialist Comment, until May 1943, although a highly controversial, high-profile and presumably affluent individual, Jim Dawson, joined the Party and published a considerable amount of socialist material through his Workers’ Literature Bureau.

 The CIA in Australia
Allegations and information are available in Australia and overseas, and have been for a long time, but we are all faced by the iron curtain of American intelligence and Australian secrecy, the unavailability of such information to the public.
The only reason the CIA would get involved in supporting certain political parties or undercutting other parties would be because we had the money and the expertise and so forth to be able to do it and this would be viewed as a cooperative venture because the host country welcomes us.
What you in Australia must understand is that you are more to blame than the CIA is because you want this to happen, you want a certain administration in control and you don’t want another administration in control.

Then too, while Australia is large enough to have an impact on its immediate surroundings, it is also small enough so that Vatican decisions have better prospects for an early impact than in nations with large Catholic populations such as Brazil, Germany, France, or the US.
In addition, the problems in Australia may not have quite reached the extremes that are evident in comparable countries such as Holland or Canada, and if Rome’s efforts produce positive results in Australia, it may set the stage for similar approaches elsewhere.
If many of Australia’s bishops were unable or unwilling to address such pressing problems, the obvious solution was for the Vatican to appoint more men who could be depended upon to do the job.

 The History Cooperative | Conference Proceedings | ASSLH| From the ‘people’s war’ to the ‘people’s occupation’: ...
Many Australian communists and fellow travelers went directly to Japan with the British Commonwealth Occupation Forces (BCOF), and the aims for fighting the ‘people’s war’ were revived to wage the ‘people’s Occupation’.
These sources indicate that there were interactions between Australian communists in the Occupation forces and Japanese communists, though, as with domestic CPA policies and activities, they were greatly impeded by the developing cold war.
Contact between Australian communists in BCOF and Japanese communists was done at great personal risk — not only did they have to deal with anti-communist offensives, they also had to violate BCOF’s non-fraternisation policy.61  Additionally, there were language and cultural barriers, and the recent memory of being wartime enemies.
