| | Green Left - The folklore of the Sydney Push (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) |
 | | Splendid stuff, but the Push never amounted to a revolutionary threat to Australian capitalism because, as Anne Coombs puts it in her history, they were not out to change the world but merely to interpret it. |
 | | The conservatism inherent in their political philosophy can be seen by Push characters from the right such as Peter Coleman, for whom the jump from libertarian individualism to Liberal MP was a short one, P.P. McGuinness and millionaire trucking entrepreneur Gordon Barton, not to mention the odd Nazi bouncer. |
 | | Push women, too, found a greater freedom to speak and act, and reject gender stereotypes, than most women in the '50s. |
