	Peter Love \| Frank Anstey : From Heroic Persona to Embattled Identity \| Labour History, 87 \| The History Cooperative
		Frank Anstey's political career in the Victorian and Commonwealth parliaments (1902–34) centred around his reputation as a working-class hero and harbinger of revolution in the 1917–21 'red dawn'.
		Anstey, a boxing fan, moderate drinker, occasional punter and friend of John Wren resolutely opposed the Wowser campaign which, in turn, led Judkins to oppose him in the 1907 election for the seat of Brunswick.
		Anstey was particularly enlivened by the prospect of Hughes taking revenge on Bruce, his successor in the Nationalist Party leadership and hence Prime Ministership, over the future of federal arbitration.

	Frank Anstey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anstey was born in London, England, the son of an iron-miner, and had little formal education.
		In 1902 Anstey was elected as a Labor member of the Victorian Legislative Assembly for East Bourke Boroughs, and from 1904 was member for Brunswick, in the working-class suburbs of Melbourne.
		Anstey was one of the few Labor members who opposed the war from the start, and was for a time highly unpopular as a result, but by 1917 antiwar sentiment was growing and Anstey became one of the leaders of the movement against conscription for the war.

	FRANK ANSTEY: LIVING HISTORY
		A contemplation on the two statues of Charles I and Cromwell in London was the occasion for an essay on the blind, reactionary violence of the mob in history.
		In Anstey’s usual way, these and all the other tendentious sketches that he wrote in the mid-1930s were constructed as political parables.
		For Anstey, it was more than the long-awaited revolution of the toiling masses that many on the left had been predicting must eventually come.

	asslh.org.au - Hummer Archive - vol 3 no 9 - Frank Anstey: Living History
		After retiring from the Melbourne-based House of Representatives seat of Bourke in 1934, Frank Anstey moved to Sydney and bought a block of flats on Campbell Parade, Bondi.
		As Anstey looked across the ocean from Campbell Parade, his thoughts drifted back to a youth at sea in the Pacific and, from there, to his childhood in England.
		But the accuracy of the stories he told in mid-career, or in his memoirs later in life is less important than the way in which, by the telling and retelling, were slowly absorbed from his public persona to his private identity.

	Frank Hardy: Fame Without Glory
		One recalls that when Frank Hardy’s then unfamiliar name first began to appear in newspapers it was not because he holidayed among the ostentatious rich but was because of his writings and it was in such startling headlines as Hardy Assailed By Premier, or, I’d Kick Him To Pieces, Said Witness.
		In Frank Hardy’s writings it is self-evident that he is ill at ease in depicting a love relationship, and time has not worked for him for his most recent attempts to do so have become increasingly strained.
		Frank Hardy’s present attitude to the Soviet Union is unambiguously hostile, which earns him media plaudits but which is complicated by his insistence that he is still a communist.

		In The Kingdom of Shylock, published in 1915, the author, Frank Anstey, argued that the war was making the living worker a slave, and filling the treasury of Shylock to overflowing.

		Early pamphlets seem to carry a mixed message: Frank Anstey's Red Europe, for instance, published in 1919, featured a lurid cover of fighting and bloodshed which might have graced an anti-Communist publication of the period, rather than welcoming 'the drum-beats of the Armies of Revolution' as Anstey intended.
		Anstey supported the revolutionaries in Russia and welcomed them as signalling the beginning of a world-wide overthrow of oppression.
