Born in 1948? What Else Happened? The Australian Social History Book

Born in 1948? What Else Happened? The Australian Social History Book

The Labor Government tried to convince voters that war-time restrictions should stay. The concept of free medicine was introduced, but doctors (still controlled from Britain) would not co-operate. Immigration Minister Calwell would generously allow five coloured immigrants from each Asian nation to settle here every year. Such a man of great feeling. Burials on Saturday were banned.

The books were written by Ron Williams who studied the newspapers day-by-day for a particular year, and then condensed the information into a book for that year.

The books are all A5, black and white, with interesting colour covers. There are no charts or graphs or heavy debate. Just facts and opinions and lots of absurd and bold comments. Very nostalgic, a bit irreverent, for the older reader.

They make great gifts for CHRISTMAS, birthdays, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and the like.
