Dismissal of a Premier the Philip Game Papers

This book tells of stirring political activities in the early 30s in the state of New South Wales culminating on May 13 1932 in the dismissal of Mr J. T. Lang as Premier by the Governor Sir Philip game. Although a number of legal treatises on the subject have been published this is the first dispassionate account of what it was like to be living near the centre of activities at that very trying time. As the author's father was Secretary to the Governor she was very close to government house at the time but her account encompasses much more than merely a "view from Government House".

Unfettered by government control the Commandants of Norfolk Island were brutal and statistic rulers of this tiny island turning it into a place to rival the concentration camps of later years. Few were enlightened leaders the only one who attempted reform was foiled by his subordinates. Brutal floggings multiple executions barbaric and ingenious punishments -- all failed to completely suppress the convicts of Norfolk Island who found ways of fighting back only to suffer worse punishments. The convicts developed a sub-culture little better than the one which dominated them and homosexuality was the norm. M.G. Britts graphically depicts the impressions made by the succession of brutal Commandants who made the name of Norfolk Island notorious around the world." -- from the rear panel blurb.

"Against a background of indescribable brutality the first Australian bushrangers were not surprisingly desperate convicts - 'bolters' - who had escaped from the penal settlements of New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land. Their names are part of Australian history and of the Australian tradition: Michael Howe a self-styled 'Governor of the Ranges'; gallant Matthew Brady first of the 'gentlemen bushrangers'; the notorious Martin Cash who rode roughshod over authority later surviving years of imprisonment to die 'an honest man'; 'Bold' Jack Donohoe the original 'Wild Colonial Boy'. Volume One of Charles White's classic account of Australian bushranging recounts in vivid detail the deeds of the early 'bush bandits'. Attracted by the fast free life these native-born Australians plundered the gold escorts and crowded coaches fighting it out with the police - heroes in the eyes of the public they robbed."

The force included and infantry Battalion a field artillery battery an ambulance Corps and a band. The contingent saw little service and departed from Suakin for Sydney on 18 May 1885.
