Labor politics in Coburg 1919-1940
Carolyn Anne Rasmussen, 1978
232 pages, plus appendices.
Masters Research thesis, Department of History, The University of Melbourne.
Abstract: This study examines the activities and attitudes of the Coburg branch of
the ALP (Victorian Branch) over the years 1919 to 1940 with particular emphasis
on relations between the branch and the Central Executive, and the political
representatives of the area. Until the mid 1920's branch attention was focussed
principally on local activities capitalising on the strengthening Labor vote in the
district, but it was already an assertive and ambitious branch.
By the end of the decade the district was safe for Labor but success in municipal
elections proved elusive and as the first signs of the depression appeared the
branch came under the dominant influence of a group whose major concerns
were international politics and socialism. Appalled at the performance of Labor
Governments and radicalised by their experience of the depression the branch
became extremely critical of Labor Party leadership and profoundly frustrated by
its failure to provide opportunities for effective action - even to assist the
unemployed. The leadership survived the crises of these years more or less intact
but in the eyes of the Coburg branch it was seriously discredited. With the fall of
Labor in Victoria the branch turned its attention to the Movement Against War
and Fascism resulting in a series of escalating conflicts with the Central Executive
which continued to move towards the right throughout the thirties while the
Coburg branch became more left-wing. In the polarisation of the ALP following
the Spanish Civil War the Coburg branch became the focus of 'anti-Communist'
forces whose dubious activities were more or less condoned by the Central
Executive. Loyalty to the ALP however ran deep and it was not until the Central
Executive cancelled the pre-selection ballot for the state seat of Coburg in 1940
that a number of activists finally decided to challenge the Party by putting
forward an ‘independent' Labor candidate. Charles Mutton was successful and he
held the seat until he was re-admitted to the ALP in 1956 and thereafter till he
retired in 1967.
