Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating journey through the development of Australian politics, specifically exploring the rise and influence of Liberalism during a pivotal period. Drawing upon detailed historical research, the author examines the evolution of Australian society from a penal colony to a self-governing nation, tracing the interconnected themes of responsible government, convictism, and the emergence of a distinct Australian identity. The book analyzes how the early struggles against arbitrary rule and the fight for representation laid the foundation for the eventual triumph of responsible government. It delves into the controversial issue of convictism, exploring the complex economic, social, and moral arguments surrounding the transportation of criminals to Australia. The author illuminates how these struggles shaped the development of Australian political culture and ultimately led to the establishment of a system of self-governance based on liberal principles. Through a compelling narrative, this book provides invaluable insights into the origins of Australian political thought and the fundamental forces that shaped the nation's early years, highlighting the enduring legacy of Liberalism in shaping Australian democracy.
