	Biography of John Curtin
		John Joseph Ambrose Curtin was born in Creswick, Victoria on 8 January 1885, the eldest son of John Curtin (born 1853) and Catherine Bourke (born 1856), Irish immigrants who had married at St Patrick's Cathedral in Melbourne in June 1883.
		Curtin was also finding it increasingly difficult to persuade the timber workers to respond to the socialist causes espoused in his articles in the union's journal and in November 1915 he resigned as union secretary.
		One major source of concern to Curtin for much of the war was the ongoing conflict with sections of the trade union movement on the coalfields, which at times drove him to the point of despair; 34 however, despite numerous outbreaks of industrial conflict, no major strike took place.

	Abolitionist-Online - A Voice for Animal Rights
		John Curtin: Very interesting because everything is in the process of changing in the universe, including me. I’ve been involved with the AR movement for over 20 years and throughout that time I’ve done so many things to do with animal liberation.
		John Curtin: Well one thing you can do which is passive is to just sit there, twiddle your thumbs and play violin and wait for it to implode…which I’m not going to do because even if you accept it is a disaster, on an enormous scale, then you can still DO SOMETHING.
		John Curtin: When I joined the movement in the early 80’s I was lucky because I joined it in one of it’s most obviously vibrant phases.

	History Warriors trash John Curtin (again) at Larvatus Prodeo
		Curtin girded the government to prepare for the possibility of war with Japan at a time when Australia’s attention was firmly fixed on helping Britain.
		As John Quiggin observes, it’s difficult not to be suspicious that when the name of Alexander Downer crops up again and again in such revisionist articles, that what’s going on is partisan re-writing of history to serve present party advantage rather than a disinterested search for truth.
		Curtin did what he could under difficult circumstances, he made some mistakes but was a great Prime Minister for a’ that, and to hell with anyone who can’t admit that.

		Curtin was hardly likely to say anything in praise of Kawai during the war and of course he died just months before the Japanese surrender.
