Conviction Politics: How convicts shaped Australian democracy and the labour movement

Associate Professor Tony Moore (Monash University) and Dr Mike Davis (Griffith University) give us an insight into the international digital history project ‘Conviction Politics’ (located in the Monash Arts School of Media, Film and Journalism). This project is researching the story of radicals and rebels who were transported to Australia as political prisoners and how they, and the many ordinary convicts who resisted the exploitation of their unfree labour, played an integral part in creating Australian democracy and our unionism.

This exciting new online resource for teachers, which melds well with many of the NSW syllabuses, will bring Australian history to life!
