Talk:History of Australia (1945–present)

Structure
I think this would flow better if we did it chronologically, rather than on individual issues.

I was thinking perhaps:


 * Postwar Australia
 * The Sixties and Vietnam
 * The Whitlam era
 * Hawke, Keating and economic reform
 * and then something for the last decade

Any thoughts? Rebecca 05:37, 5 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Sounds good. --Robert Merkel 07:21, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

From history after 1901
These references were given on the History of Australia since 1901, it's unclear if they were actually used to write the article, however they may be useful to expand this and the after 1945 article.--Peta 02:47, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

POV concerning Kerr´s Cur
In view of what is known about US intervention in Aust. politics against the ALP government at this time (key words: ASIO, Shackley Telegram, Marshall Green, etc.) based on facts which have become known 1972-2006 the following quote in chevrons is massive,biassed, and conservative ie Capital-friendly distortion: <>

History of Australia 1945-2000
I think it is about time this was done, the 20th Century is well and truly over there needs to be a new article called "History of Australia since 2001" So much has happenend since the beginning of this century: The 9/11 attacks which invoke the ANZUS treaty for the first time The Afghanistan war (Australia's longest war) Bali Bombings Howard Era Mining Boom Iraq War Dozens of major natural disasters Apology to the Stolen Generations and Forced Adoption Late 2000s Financial crisis First Female Prime Minister And more --Collingwood26 (talk) 11:34, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
