Description
The two Catholic newspapers in New South Wales in the 1840s, edited by W.A. Duncan and Michael D'Arcy, took a distinctive position on the struggle over the squatting system and pastoral monopoly of land, reflecting a Utopian commitment to a future Australia based on small farms and the rights of working men to employment and participation in political life.
