The Australian War Memorial debates - Frontier Violence to be Included?

Follow the debate on whether Australia’s frontier violence should be memorialised within the Australian War Memorial:

Australian Wars Forum

Defending Country and Defend Sacred Ground have different objectives but they agree on the need for clarity in how the Australian War Memorial deals with frontier conflict in Australian history.

This forum has been organised with the agreement of the publishers of Independent Australia and Quadrant Online. The protagonists are each providing a 1200 word article, a 600 word rejoinder, and a 100 word summing up. Both publications provide for reader comment.

Defending Country and Defending Sacred Ground thank Independent Australia and Quadrant Online.

The first 1200-word article and reader comments are here:

• on Independent Australia for Peter Stanley’s article and Roger Karge & Peter O’Brien’s article

• on Quadrant Online for Peter Stanley’s article and Roger Karge & Peter O’Brien’s article
