Book Description
This book features the importance of families, particularly the roles played by women, spread over 5 generations. Throughout the book there is a focus on mother/daughter relationships, and the strength of the women involved. The five generations written about were actually known to me, some of the tales I witnessed, others were relayed to me by various great great grandmothers and grandmothers. The work demonstrates how subtle the strength and power combination can be in women, and how women can be instrumental in bringing about change whilst seeming to be powerless. My work also brings together the family cohesion within my family, the memories and tales of things which would be lost and forgotten otherwise. The book is about the family of which the author is very proud, many of those written about contributed greatly to the formation of this nation and much of those contributions were made without praise or comment, like my great grandmother and her two sisters fighting as suffragettes against huge odds so that women could obtain equal franchise, and using their power on the home front to assist them in achieving this wonderful thing, or my Uncle Wal’s work as Paddington (NSW) ‘s mayor and his quiet humility as he got on with the job for twenty-five years. Throughout the book there are many references to other quiet achievers from my fierce great great grandmother to my own children, 5 generations of daughters later. Thus the work symbolises many true blue Australian families, whose tales have not yet been told, and yet illustrate the very fabric of Australian society, and makes popular reading.

Book Description
With its increasingly secular and religiously diverse population Australia faces many challenges in determining how the state and religion should interact. Australia is not unique in facing these challenges. States worldwide, including common law countries with shared legal and religious heritages, have also been faced with the question of how the state and religion should relate to one another. Countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand and the United States have all had to grapple with how to manage the state-religion relationship in the present day. This book provides a comprehensive historical review of the interaction of the state and religion in Australia. It brings together multiple examples of areas in which the state and religion interact, and reviews these examples across Australia’s history from settlement through to present day. The book sets this story within a wider theoretical context via an examination of theories of state-religion relationships as well as a comparison with other similar common law jurisdictions. The book demonstrates how the solutions arrived at in Australia is uniquely Australian owing to Australia’s unique legal system, religious demographics and history. However this is just one possible outcome among many that have been tried in common law liberal democracies.
