SUMMARY:August in Kabul: Andrew Quilty in conversation with Tracey Curro
DESCRIPTION:Gold Walkley winner Andrew Quilty sits down with journalist Tracey Curro to discuss his new book August in Kabul: America’s last days in Afghanistan. \n \nAs night fell on 15 August 2021\, the Taliban entered Kabul\, capital of Afghanistan. As cities and towns fell in rapid succession\, Western troops and embassy staff scrambled to flee a country of which its government had lost control. To the world\, Kabul in August looked like Saigon in 1975. \nAndrew Quilty was one of a handful of Western journalists who stayed in Kabul as the city fell. August in Kabul is his first-hand account of those dramatic final days told through the eyes of Afghans whose lives have been turned upside down. \nCopies of August in Kabul will be available for purchase at the event. \nThe talk will be held in the Shrine of Remembrance Auditorium. Entry is via the Education Centre courtyard\, with doors opening at 6pm for a 6.30pm start. \nThis event is free for Shrine Friends* and volunteers. Bookings essential. $25.00 \n* Friends who hold Individual and Student memberships can book one free ticket. Friends who hold Family and Life memberships can book a maximum of two free tickets.

SUMMARY:Medical fears of the malingering soldier: ‘Phony cronies’ & the Repat in 1960s Australia
DESCRIPTION:The fear of the malingering soldier or veteran has existed in Australia since its first nationwide military venture in South Africa. \n \nThe establishment of the Repatriation Department in 1917 saw the medical\, military and political fields work collectively\, to some extent\, to support hundreds of thousands of men who returned from their military service wounded or ill. \nOver the next decades\, the medical profession occasionally criticised the Repatriation Department’s alleged laxness towards soldier recipients of military pensions\, particularly those with less visible war-related psychiatric conditions. In 1963 this reached a crescendo when a group of Australian doctors drew battle lines in the correspondence pages of the Medical Journal of Australia\, accusing the Repatriation Department of directing a ‘national scandal’\, and provoking responses by both the Minister for Repatriation and the Chairman of the War Pensions Assessment Appeal Tribunal. \nAlthough this controversy and its aftermath do allow for closer investigation of the inner workings of the Repatriation Department\, the words of the doctors themselves about ‘phony cronies’\, ‘deadbeats’ and ‘drongoes’ also reveal how the medical fear of the malingering soldier\, and particularly the traumatised soldier-malingerer\, lingered into the early 1960s and beyond. This paper will analyse the medical conceptualisation of the traumatised soldier in the 1960s in relation to historical conceptions of malingering\, the increasingly tenuous position of psychiatry\, as well as the socio-medical ‘sick role’\, and will explore possible links between the current soldier and veteran suicide crisis in Australia. \nEffie Karageorgos is Lecturer in History at the University of Newcastle and Deputy Convenor of the UON Future of Madness Network. Her research focuses on histories of conflict\, gender and psychiatry. Her monograph Australian Soldiers in South Africa and Vietnam: Words from the Battlefield was published in 2016. \nZoom details will be sent in the confirmation email. \n

SUMMARY:For Kin and Country - Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This special exhibition explores the extraordinary history of First Peoples’ service in the Australian Defence Force. \n \nIn the early 20th century\, defence service provided an escape for First Peoples from ongoing dispossession and discrimination and was for many their first experience of equal treatment. Most were paid the same rates as their European counterparts and there was little racism on the front line. Indeed\, First Peoples service personnel felt a strong sense of continuing ancient traditions of protecting Country\, and hoped their example of service would help improve conditions for their families and communities. \nVeterans\, however\, returned to the same discrimination they had previously known. \nIn this special exhibition\, photographic portraits sourced from veterans and their families\, the Australian War Memorial\, Koorie Heritage Trust\, and the Shrine’s own collection illustrate personal stories of First Peoples’ service from the Boer War to today\, whilst interviews\, filmed in conjunction with the Australian Centre for the Moving Image\, offer insight into the ongoing effects of war service on families and individuals. \nThese stories matter to us; we know they’ll matter to you.
