Expanding the Australian Empire?: The Australian Council for the World Council of Churches, the Menzies Government and the New Hebrides in the late 1950s
In the late 1950s the Australian Council for the World Council of Churches (AC-WCC) inspired primarily by the Presbyterian Church, undertook a concerted campaign to pressure the Australian government to assume a greater role in the affairs of the New Hebrides. The AC-WCC wanted the Australian government to take over the United Kingdom’s role in the administration of the Anglo-French Condominium. It was motivated to undertake this campaign by the dismal social and economic conditions in the islands, the neglect of the British and French colonial authorities, and their failure to offer the indigenous people a way forward to self-government. The high point of the campaign was a meeting between Robert Menzies, the Australian prime minister and a delegation from the AC-WCC in early 1958. As a result of this meeting Australian ministers and officials, for the final time, gave extended consideration to expanding Australia’s empire in the South Pacific to include the New Hebrides. This article examines the AC-WCC’s campaign, explores the Australian government’s response, and analyses the outcome of this important episode in Australia’s involvement in the colonial territories of the South Pacific.
