Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. The 432 documents in this volume many of them not previously publicly available have been selected to illuminate Australian policies towards Nauru in the first half of the 1960s. The previous volume, Australia and Nauru: Phosphate, Trusteeship and the Resettlement Issue, covered the period from 1945 to 1962, while a third volume will take the story from mid-1965 through to Naurus attainment of independence in January 1968.Since 1947, Australia had governed Nauru in its capacity as the leading partner, with New Zealand and the United Kingdom, in a joint United Nations trusteeship over the island. Australias core interest in Nauru comprised the extraction of Naurus high-quality phosphate for the production of superphosphate for the rural industries in Australia, New Zealand and, to a lesser extent, the United Kingdom, on extremely favourable terms.As these documents demonstrate, during the first half of the 1960s the context within which Australia developed its policies on Nauru became more difficult. Reflecting the expansion of UN membership following the emergence of newly independent countries in Africa and Asia, the United Nations General Assembly and its committees took a more concentrated interest in decolonisation and the exploitation of developing world resources. New Zealand and the United Kingdom began to seek to influence Australian policies on Nauru more than before. Last but certainly not least, the Nauruans began to campaign more effectively in pursuit of political and phosphate industry reforms.For several years, there was a general consensus among Australian, New Zealand and United Kingdom policymakers, the United Nations Trusteeship Council and the Nauruans themselves that the best way to secure the future of the Nauruans was to arrange for their resettlement elsewhere. Doing this would also facilitate continued access to Nauruan phosphate. In the late 1950s, after efforts to find a suitable location in the Pacific Islands region had come to nothing, Australia proposed that the Nauruans migrate to Australia and become assimilated within the wider community. The Nauruans declined this proposal because of their wish to maintain their distinctive identity.At the request of Nauruan leaders, Australia next turned its attention to identifying an island off the Australian coast as a suitable site for resettlement and eventually decided on Curtis Island, near Gladstone in Queensland. But agreement was not achieved, mainly because the Nauruans, while making important concessions, wanted sovereign independence in order to preserve their national identity. Although understanding this aspiration, Australian policymakers were unwilling to surrender sovereignty over an Australian territory and instead offered local self-government powers on Curtis Island. Negotiations finally broke down in August 1964, with the Nauruans deciding to remain on their own island and seek independence, along with control over the phosphate industry and a larger share of the returns from phosphate extraction.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. The 374 documents selected for this volume many of them not previously publicly available illuminate the context, implementation, and development of Australian policies towards the South Pacific island of Nauru from 1945 to 1962.While administering Nauru under a League of Nations mandate (from 1920) and then under a UN trusteeship (from 1947), Australias primary interest was accessing Naurus phosphate and providing it to Australian and New Zealand farmers at a very favourable price. The British Phosphate Commissioners (BPC) and their staff managed this extraction on behalf of Australia and its partners, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, with the heavy work done by Chinese and other imported labourers. Phosphate extraction was interrupted in 1942, when Japanese troops took over the island. Later, as the tide of war turned, Australian ministers lobbied strenuously but unsuccessfully for US support for the early recapture of Nauru. After Japans surrender, the three partner governments, through the BPC, ensured the prompt replacement of war-damaged infrastructure so that extraction and export could resume.Australias post-war External Affairs Minister, H. V. Evatt, took a leading part in establishing the UN Trusteeship system as an improved, more progressive version of the Leagues mandate system and in securing trusteeships over Nauru and New Guinea. As under the mandate, Australia shared its authority over Nauru with New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Australia diligently fulfilled its administering obligations and mostly received a sympathetic hearing from the UN Trusteeship Council in the late 1940s and 1950s. From around 1960, however, UN support for the rapid decolonisation of the remaining Western colonial territories strengthened, forcing Australia to modify its approach.The Trusteeship Council encouraged Australias efforts to find a new island home in the Pacific on which to resettle the Nauruans, in order to give them a more economically viable future once the phosphate was exhausted. But a wide search came to naught. Instead, in 1960, after consultation with its partners and despite its restrictive immigration policy Australia offered the Nauruans the opportunity to migrate to Australia. But they rebuffed this offer, fearing their disappearance as a distinct community.As the documents also show, the decision to decline resettlement in Australia was part of a broader pattern of increased Nauruan assertiveness. They lobbied for increased royalties from phosphate extraction, with some success: between 1940 and 1960, royalty payments doubled. In the late 1940s, their petitions to the United Nations led to the early recall of an unpopular Australian Administrator. Their repeated calls for a greater share of political authority, however, were less successful, largely because the Australian Government feared that this would lead to corresponding demands for greater control over the phosphate industry. The 374 documents selected for this volume many of them not previously publicly available illuminate the context, implementation, and development of Australian policies towards the South Pacific island of Nauru from 1945 to 1962.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. This is the second DFAT volume on PNGs independence. The first volume, Documents on Australian Foreign Policy: Australia and Papua New Guinea, 19701972: The transition to self-government, was published by UNSW Press in December 2020.This era saw monumental change in the relationship between Australia and Papua New Guinea as PNG went from a territory firmly controlled by Canberra to self-government in 1975. The change of government in Australia in early December 1972 brought to power a prime minister with an intense interest in the future of Papua New Guinea, and a commitment to rapid change. Gough Whitlam, supported by his External Territories Minister, Bill Morrison, pushed hard to complete Papua New Guineas transition to full self-government and to accelerate its accession to independence. The latter took place in September 1975later than Whitlam would have preferred, but earlier than most people in both Australia and Papua New Guinea would have thought possible only a few years before. There were tensions and sharp words along the way, but overall, the transition was achieved with good will. Taken together, the 525 documents in the volume illuminate the development of Australian policies concerning Papua New Guinea during the push to independence.
