	H.V. Evatt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dr Herbert Vere Evatt (April 30, 1894 - November 2, 1965), Australian jurist, politician and writer (generally known in his lifetime as Dr H.V. Evatt and popularly known as "Doc") was born in Maitland, New South Wales, to a working-class family of Anglo-Irish origin.
		In 1925 Evatt was elected as an Australian Labor Party member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly.
		Evatt believed he was certain to win the 1954 federal elections, and when he unexpectedly failed to do so (despite polling a slight majority of the vote) he blamed the Catholic dominated Industrial Groups in the party for sabotaging his campaign.

	Evatt Foundation: Publication: In defence of Dr Herbert Vere Evatt - 02 February 2005
		"Evatt's record as a civil libertarian is very spotty", claiming elsewhere in his comments that "Evatt's reputation was energetically burnished as a defender of free expression, a slayer of intolerant Catholic sectarianism and a demolisher of secret and sinister Catholic conspiracies to seize control of the Labor Party...".
		John Curtin was hobbled with a divided labour movement (three Labor parties in NSW) and the left-right struggles inside the ALP for the 'socialist objective', and was thus reluctant to challenge the disintegrating flotsam and jetsam in the conservative side of politics in Canberra.
		It was to defend Dr Evatt from his detractors, to defend his honour and reputation and to put that era of 'interference in Labor affairs' into its proper historical perspective.

		Evatt was unusual in that, while he was prepared to accept a high degree of great power domination of the United Nations for a time, he did not see this hegemony based on the War-time alliance continuing indefinitely.
		For Evatt, the UN was to be an agent of collective security, based on the concept that its member states would agree to renounce the use of force amongst themselves and collectively come to the aid of any member attacked by an outside state, or by a renegade member.
		Evatt in fact did foreshadow in his own thinking some of these 'new' concepts in arguing, as he did, at San Francisco for a Charter that paid more than lip service to economic and social issues, not just for their own sake but because these represented the root causes of conflict.
