	The History And Future Of Radical Politics In Australia
		Indeed, the Communist Party of Australia continued to play a leading role in many struggles during the post-war period, and was to become renowned around the world for its courageous stand against both Stalinism, and also the rampant US war machine in Vietnam.
		Both the Maoist Communist Party of Australia (Marxist-Leninist), and the Stalinist 'Socialist Party of Australia' (which has recently reclaimed the name 'Communist Party of Australia'), continue to struggle on despite declining membership bases, and the consensus elsewhere that, in Australia at least, Communism is a spent force.
		With the Communist Party of Australia's voluntary liquidation in 1991, there was a brief attempt at regroupment around a new party, the "New Left Party", but with the failure of this project, a veritable vacuum was created to the left of the Australian political spectrum.

	Australia: Labor in Politics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Australia had to build almost all its railroads by state action, because early private efforts broke down.
		It must obtain the support of that middle class—or middle-of-the-road class—which is not bound to any union or political party, and which judges between Liberal and Labor on the basis of their platforms or performance.
		Beyond that, it approved the party’s championing of Australian nationalism, for Labor was more wholehearted in its advocacy of White Australia, federation, a navy, and a citizen army than were the anti-Labor parties.

	International Higher Education--25/12
		Simon Marginson is Professor and Director of the Monash Centre for International Education, Monash University, Australia, and co-author with Mark Considine of The Enterprise University (Cambridge University Press, 2000).
		These research findings are contained in Australia’s Comparative Performance as a Knowledge Nation by Mark Considine, Simon Marginson and Peter Sheehan, commissioned by the Chifley Research Centre.* The decline in investment in knowledge shows itself both in absolute terms (that is, in relation to past Australian efforts), and in relation to international comparators.

	Gun Control Australia
		Gun politics and gun laws in Australia changed dramatically because of this and the 1987 massacres.
		Crucial political aspects of the Port Arthur massacre and its aftermath have been ignored by the contributors entry.

		It is reasonable to argue that blogs can bring significant benefits to our political processes and people’s engagement with and understanding of political and policy issues.
		Should efforts be made to develop an informal set of aims or goals for political blogging (across the ideological spectrum) that may assist in maximising the possible benefits of blogging for political processes.
		Some tentative answers to these questions will be posed by drawing on existing politically oriented blogs (including the relatively small number by elected MPs) and feedback from writers and readers of these blogs.
