"Tom Mboya's Australia" - 2024 Reese Memorial Lecture by Dr Jon Piccini
Kenyan politician and trade unionist Tom Mboya visited Australia and the then Territory of Papua and New Guinea in 1964. He seemed to personify a future for Africa that was liberal and pro-Western. Mboya was, however, not so easily characterised, variously labelled a democrat and a dictator, moderate and radical, nationalist and sellout. One reporter dubbed him “a visitor from another planet”.
In this talk, Dr Piccini explores how Mboya’s visit was received in Australia. This requires thinking beyond the logo map of a ‘nation for a continent’: in 1964, Papuans were Australian citizens (of a sort), Indigenous peoples continued to be denied full citizenship, while settler-Australians grappled with a post-imperial identity.
The event took place on 24 October 2024 as part of the annual Menzies Reese Memorial lectures. The lecture was introduced by Dr Agnieszka Sobocinska, Director of the Menzies Australia Institute.

Google for the blogpost . . . . . . . VADAKAYIL DECLARES THAT JEW WILLIAM DALRYMPLE IS A FAKE HISTORIAN AND A HALF-WIT who has been hyped up by the Jewish Deep state. . 93% of whatever he wrote or said is 100% nonsense .. We Indians don’t want this white collar criminal / terrorist in India.. Arrest William Dalrymple for treason and flouting his visa conditions .. Jew William Dalrymple has been entrusted to airbrush Rothschild’s crimes in India .. We Indians are no longer slaves of Rothschild ( the owner of British East India Company ) who ruled India.
Taiwan has never been part of People's Republic of China (PRC), not a single day. I don't know what Beijing based on to claim Taiwan its territory.
Very comprehensively presented...To keep India intact as a country was a tough challenge with 80% illiteracy ,famine like condition and religious intolerance...As a leader Nehru did his best to modernize the country.
Taiwan is a country formed by former Japanese territories of Formosa, Pescadores and Spratley's when Japan renounced these islands. Prior to that, western half of Formosa was incorporated into the Manchu Empire between 1885 and 1895. The Chinese contingents of the Allied Forces were sent to set up a care taker administration on the order of General MacArthur but were not given the country's sovereignty. So Taiwan is sovereign albeit under ROC administration.
TaiWan was invaded in back to china in 1945, and historical belong to china.YOU NEED READ MORE BACK TO YOU PRIMARY SCHOOL.
@@Hans-c5t-jazThe far east Asia mainland had been invaded many times and conquered by foreign nomadic horse riders including Siberians, Tungus, and Mongolians.
@@Hans-c5t-jaz , Formosa was discovered by Portuguese and first claimed by the Dutch. I was briefly independent between 1664 and 1684 and them its western half became subject to Manchu Empire rules until Japan formally annexed the whole territory. Throughout the history of Formosa, China was a colony of Manchu Empire. When China became independent in 1911, Formosa was part of Japan. So you are totally ignorant about the history of Formosa.
Bone spurs Trump and his idiotic followers are so scared of war that China will take advantage of this invade Taiwan because they know Trump and his followers will not want war over Taiwan. Don't forget that in 2016 Russian troops invaded the Ukrainian Donbas on Trump's watch. Trump sat by and did nothing.
Have you looked at China's current 5-year and 15-year plans?

The best way would be to force the labor laws which will create more jobs and sustain consumption.
no way he can sell this to Chinese
You have to be kidding yourself if you think Putin will ever abide by any "deal". The proof is a very long history of doing exactly the opposite. Mr. Trump is someone who is completely transactional, he has to get something for himself. The Ukrainians won't agree to any deal unless there's a fully transparent military and civil support that ensures Russia will never again attack. Simply put, Putin wants a break so he can continue unabated. There is NO deal with Russia they will abide by, and western countries have failed to enforce the previous one.
Thank you so much for this interesting talk and sharing your view!
China lack aggregated demand
same as here.
Michael has a French father and an American mother a Western product to spy on China
Same problem in the US going forward: Trump wants to bring manufacturing back to the US, so needs to shift wealth to manufacturing from one of the two remaining blocks of wealth, government or house holds. Obviously he would prefer that the Democrat's base (government) suffers that loss. The Democrats would prefer that Trump's base (house holds) suffer that burden.
I would think that the US problem is the flip side of the China imbalance, as in both countries the vast majority of the workers/households have not enjoyed a fair share of productivity gains. However, as the US household is an addicted consumer rather than a saver, the US household relies on ever-increasing debt to maintain the consumption habit which is not sustainable in the long term. Income inequality - the distribution of national income - is a problem in both countries and others, it is maintained by institutional systems that will make extremely hard to resolve. One has to question which segment of society/households benefit from the current situation in both countries and how their political power can prevent necessary distributional reforms.
@@georgewoods5543 In order to keep the world economic system moving it was necessary for someone to consume the excess of manufactured goods produced by the developing world. If the US became addicted to consumption, China (and Japan before them) became addicted to production. Japan we allowed to move their production plants to the US, China, not so much. Friend/enemy thing. By manipulating the interest rate, and cutting consumer income, the Fed caused both the 2008 and the current recession, ending our ability to consume the world's excess production, cutting China (and Germany) off at the knees. Shifting wages from consumers to savers has the added benefit of building our war chest, waiting for that mother of all stimulus measures.
@@FritztheCat74-k8e Refreshingly educated comment. Thank you
Those Chinese workers who don't have permission to work where the jobs are remind me a bit too much of the US illegal alien problem. They contribute to the social security fund, yet can't receive benefits, send their wages home so don't contribute to inflation, and distort the housing supply, as they need shelter only temporarily. Opening up to China was supposed to make them more like us. Instead it made us more like them.
Research topic: PR Chinese often complain about crimes under cameras going unsolved, including assaults. And then if solved prefer to resolve by payment contracts at police stations rather than in courts (this is an old practice). My hypothesis is that Chinese police are lazy, and work under the incentive schemes of the old CCP, haven’t reformed, and lack empathy for victims (who aren’t family members). There may be a deeper story about camera access. Stories about lazy cops abound and the fix is usually just more rules and work for cops which they find ways to avoid. Bribing police was common in the 1990s, but I don’t know the latest on the practice. Anyone?

Thanks you for providing this. I am not favorably inclined to the methods and what I see as a superficial approach. Chinese studies is hard. Talking about and separating out kinds of internet surveillance concerns such as pornography attitudes is difficult. However, these are scholarly and not personal attacks on character, effort, intelligence etc. And, I will surely be citing this work.
My beef with China is the trade imbalance. It needs to be balanced. Trump will work, with tariff to move those product out of China. Hopefully some back to the USA.
Trump will not work because he isn't addressing the root of the problem. Uncontrolled capital inflows.
Ban CCP imports 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳
I understand Ariane took great lengths to protect her interviewees. What you don't ask her are these: 1. Did the Chinese authorities pressure her to provide them with detailed info about their interviewees? 2. Did the Chinese authorities question her in any way about the research project she conducted and her intentions? My suspicion is that the authorities have NO interest in either 1+2. They have more important things to do.
Very insightful on the macro economic side of the Chinese financial crisis. However, proof that western people have very limited understanding in Chinese political economics fabrics when it comes to the Hukou system. As long as China remains a highly centralised one party state, it won’t be abolished. The system can be traced back to Qin dynasty more than 2000 years ago when China was unified under one emperor for the first time. One can imagine how hard it is to abolish that if you know a little bit of Chinese history.
Plus the fact that the wellbeing of the bottom half of the population has never been a priority with the Chinese leadership.
China and Japan are very different. Japan invested lot in manufacturing and when japanese bubble popped, japan exported its way out through china but china does not have any bigger china to do that. Also China cannot increase its money supply to get out of trouble because of the dollar peg. Mundell-Fleming Framework says if you have fixed exchange rate then you dont have monetary control. Thats why china stopped more real estate. its not because xi wanted it because they are wasting resource but because to continue real estate bubble, real estate credit must increase by 15%. thus given chinese real estate account for 30% of GDP, it will take 4.5% of credit. But if US credit growth is 4%, china can increase its credit growth only by 6% in order to maintain the dollar peg. Thus if real estate takes 4.5% of 6%, only 1.5% is available for rest. Thats why real estate was popped not because of Xi's voluntary three red lines
China does have monetary control, what they don't have instead is the free flow of capital in and out of the country. Stopping more real estate investment is in fact a policy of capital control.
this is factually incorrect. Japan's main trade partner was US at the time. China in fact also exported its way through the U.S. and will be able to do less of that after trump. I also don't know where is the dollar peg notion from. Maybe you mistook HKD, which does have a dollar peg, for CNY.
Hard to take seriously any argument made with kindergarten-level punctuation, grammar, and spelling.
I am afraid this presentation is too academic for me. If you are looking at the Chinese political elite viewpoint, China is Socialist country whereas the western countries all mainly capitalists. From external economic securities these elites would enforce policies that protect the country from being exploited, e.g. NOT open the door too wide in order for the capitalist running dogs would come into the country to exploit the labour and capital resources in the country a good eg foreign investments in China must a component of transferring technologies to the country via local companies, etc. Internally there are millions of Chinese capitalists willing accumulate enormous amount of capital in order trying to influence the government like what is happening now in the US, and other issues. So the Chinese introduce polices attempting to discourage that, e.g. Jack Ma is an example. One can write a recitation from the angle I point out above.
maybe we should thinking more basically, just like the noble prize award point out-----focus on the system, party centered totalitarian system?
Crapitalism has failed. Commodifying everything is morally wrong. Blood(misery) for money is especially wrong.
Incredible historical and currently relevant insights into the world economy ! I am not so sure that the leaders of China and the major world powers will follow his advice.
You can just skip the speech of the third guy, who is wasting everyone’s time.
Today, Great Britain has been reduced to "Little Britain", so LB should not overrate itself as it is no longer seen as a big power, much less a superpower as seen from the lenses of China as well as most countries in Asia. It's an important country, but definitely not as powerful as it used to be. So, position yourself and what's good for your country, not become the lapdog of the U.S. Also, please refrain from using the western yardstick to view and just China, it has its own, based on its several thousand years of history of up and down throughout its history. And, for most of 2024 years to date, the dominance of the West in the last 200-300 years is an aberration as China, India to a certain degree were the largest economies of the world.
