The Idea of Australia and the Pacific

Duration: 60 minutes

“Australia’s deep past and its modern history are intrinsically linked to the Pacific.” So begins award-winning historian Ian Hoskins’ latest book, Australia & the Pacific. Ian Hoskins and Julianne Schultz will discuss our ties with our near neighbours, our fraught colonial history, from blackbirding to the White Australia policy through to our political present.
