Writers on the socialist left wing of the pre-1914 Australian labour movement have noted the prominent role of activists from non-English-speaking backgrounds among Australia’s small radical organisations. European socialists in Australia, especially those from German backgrounds, could draw on an extensive socialist print culture: newspapers, pamphlets and other printed matter conveying a socialist worldview. This chapter considers the place of German socialists in Australia before the First World War and their relationship to a transnational socialist print culture, using the case of the Brisbane-based activist Hugo Kunze (1867–1934), a key member of the socialist propaganda group the Social Democratic Vanguard in Brisbane in the early 1900s. Kunze was indefatigable in disseminating socialist literature throughout Queensland, also making use of the labour movement press.

This paper examines the largely overlooked role of denunciation in initiating the Frankfurt trial of Rosa Luxemburg in early 1914 for inciting disobedience among German soldiers, and corrects errors that have entered the scholarly literature on the topic. This is then taken as the starting point for wider reflections on the connections between denunciation, anti-Semitism, and anti-socialism in Germany in the ‘long nineteenth century’. It will be argued that the practice of denunciation, directed both against the political Left and against Jews, long preceded the now well-documented salience of denunciation in the Nazi dictatorship. Denunciation was thus an asymmetrical political weapon – it could be invoked against the political Left by their right-wing and conservative opponents in nineteenth-century Germany, but was not available to the democratic Left, nor would it have been palatable to them. The capacity of German anti-Semites to resort to denunciation of Social Democrats also highlights the extent to which anti-Semites could count on being regarded as among the ‘state-supporting’ parties in Imperial Germany.
... Previously, the Japanese army had entered the South Sumatra area on 14 February 1942 by passing the umbrella troops, amounting to 600-700 personnel, which resulted in the outbreak of war for two days, with a victory on the Japanese side after the Dutch surrendered. Starting from 16 February 1942, the official southern Sumatran people were under the rule of Japan (Bonnell 2020). Japan succeeded in occupying the Dutch East Indies to master natural resources, especially petroleum, in order to support the Japanese potential for war and to support its industry. ...

... For the academic precariat, increased casualisation within a two-tiered system has translated to them spending years -sometimes entire careers (Stringer et al. 2018) -cycling through contracts that leave them with little autonomy and vulnerable to changes in work (Oldfield et al. 2021;Thomas et al. 2020), with little hope of ever rising to the top tier. And since 2020, the conditions for precarious staff in Aotearoa's universities have further worsened through increased workloads and job cuts, as universities scramble to recoup financial losses associated with the COVID-19 pandemic (Oldfield et al. 2021). ...

... 946). Literature on the future of universities also acknowledges multiple purposes, including preparing students for personal success in an increasingly complex world and preparing students to contribute to the advancement of society (Connell, 2019;Kemmis, 2023;Markauskaite & Goodyear, 2017). This body of literature places a significant focus on the role of knowledge and students' awareness of how knowledge is created. ...

... What is of utmost relevance is that soldiers in the second half of the nineteenth century can be viewed as an especially vulnerable segment of the population (Durkheim, 1897). The Austro-Hungarian military had one of the highest suicide rates during that time (over many years, substantially above a rate of 100 per 100,000), a fact that still elicits scholarly attention today (e.g., Bonnell, 2014;Braswell and Kushner, 2012;Leidinger, 2012;Smith et al., 2019). In addition, the death by suicide of the possible future commander-in-chief may have been associated with a high (vertical) identification-evoking potential for soldiers, similar to the prominent "celebrity suicides" of today (see Stack, 2005). ...
