	Obituary: James (Jim) Ford Cairns, PhD (1914 - 2003) : Melbourne Indymedia
		Jim Cairns will be remembered for his idealism and his commitment to social change using different strategies over his life.
		In 1976 Jim Cairns was the primary initiator for the first Down to Earth Confest held at the Cotter River in Canberra.
		On February 14, 2003, Jim Cairns, who led 100,000 people through the streets of Melbourne against the Vietnam War on 8 May 1970, was on the street again against the war and invasion of Iraq in a crowd numbering up to 200,000 people.

	Evatt Foundation: Publication: A tribute to Jim Cairns - 19 October 2003
		Jim was elected to the House of Representatives in 1955 and made an early mark on the Parliamentary Labor Party during his first term by challenging its leadership and policy on immigration.
		Cairns was one of the most magnificent debaters and performers in the House of Representatives during the 1960s.
		Cairns did many great things for the ALP and for Australia, but the real tragedy of Jim Cairns was that he didn't become the driving, creative minister he could have been.

	Jim Cairns dead at 89 The rise and decline of an Australian Labor reformist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		To trace out the political career of Jim Cairns is to follow the rise and decay of the political program he represented—left social reformism—and its organic incapacity to address the two key questions of political life: the operation of the laws of the global capitalist economy and the ruthless power of the capitalist state apparatus.
		Jim Cairns was born in 1914 to a mother whose husband left for the war never to be seen again.
		Cairns attracted support because of the program he was seen to embody—the construction of a society based on social equality and the ending of all forms of repression.

		JIM CAIRNS: Yes., She was a better woman, a much better one than you would expect her to be.
		JIM CAIRNS: Yes, my point of popularity insofar as I’ve appeared in public opinion polls, was at the highest it had ever reached in April 1975—that is after six months of Morosi publicity.

	Jim Cairns - remarkable fighter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		JIM CAIRNS died at the age of 89 on 12 October.
		The role played by Cairns in the movement was typical of Labor leaders historically during periods of struggle, when they have sought to win the electoral support of those discontented with the system while simultaneously preventing the movement from developing into a revolutionary challenge to it.
		The ultimate lesson of Cairns' life, however, is that a left-wing alternative to Labor is needed-one based on change from below and the power of the working class, and one with a clear understanding of the class nature of parliament and the state.

	Jim Cairns, anti-war hero, Labor icon, dead at 89 - National - www.theage.com.au
		Jim Cairns, a left-wing hero and one of Australia's most controversial political figures, has died.
		Widely admired as a man of principle and champion of peace, Dr Cairns will also be remembered as a flawed politician who had a high-profile affair with his personal secretary Junie Morosi, a scandal that rocked the Whitlam government and contributed to its downfall in 1975.
		Dr Cairns was born in Melbourne and attended Melbourne and Oxford universities.

	Former Australian treasurer Jim Cairns dies
		Cairns was a leading member of the reformist Labor government of Gough Whitlam in the 1970s in which he was also deputy prime minister.
		Cairns left the government over another issue a few months before its fall in late 1975, but the Morosi affair is widely seen as a major contributing factor to Whitlam's downfall.
		"Jim was a man of deep conviction and a man of great conscience, none more so with his passionate and long-standing opposition to the Vietnam War," Crean said in a statement.

	Jim Cairns (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		JIM CAIRNS will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the most left-wing federal Labor MPs of the post-war era.
		Cairns was a committed supporter of direct action, participating in the burning of draft-cards (a highly illegal act), occupations of government buildings and street marches.
		Cairns own resignation in 1977, and his subsequent retreat into lifestyle politics, reflected, according to Strangio, not just his despair at the increasingly rightward direction of the ALP but more fundamentally his disillusionment with parliamentary democracy.

		As a youngster Cairns was told his father had died in the war; in truth, he had deserted the family.
		In the absence of her husband, Jim's mother, Letty, and her infant son joined her parents and sisters on a farm in Sunbury.
		These experiences scarred the teenage Cairns, planting the seeds of hostility to the capitalist order; whereas others could imagine, and aspired to, a reformed capitalist system, his intuition was that it was morally irredeemable.

	The late Jim Cairns was no friend of liberty
		In 1975 Cairns declared at a public meeting that the "Soviet Union was a workers' paradise".
		Despite the indisputable evidence of communist aggression and brutality, Cairns had the gall to argue that "communist advance, as distinct from Nazi advance, depended on economic and political conditions".
		This is the same Jim Cairns who, along with other Leftists, held a party in Prahran Town Hall to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the communist victory in South East Asia, even though the regime had carried out a bloodbath.

		Cairns was nevertheless an attractive figure for those who prefer the politics of the warm inner glow to the realities of government and power.
		This was clearly attempted in the case of Jim Cairns, and many people who should have known better pretended outrage when one or two commentators told the blunt truth about him.
		A love affair or two is of no great significance, but to sue for defamation at the revelation of such an affair and perjure oneself for gain is too significant a failing not to require at least an apology.

		This was clearly evident on WPC official letterhead stationery from 1974, on which Cairns is named both as President of the Committee of World Peace Councillors in Australia and as Deputy Prime Minister of Australia.

		Drawing on a rich range of archival and oral sources, and recounting many fascinating anecdotes, this is a masterly portrait of one of those rare people who never waver in their search for truth.
