Henry Lawson, Australia’s Apostle of Mateship in the Age of White Australia Policy
Year 1901 when Henry Lawson published “Send Round the Hat” which features Giraffe, a stout bushman who attempts to collect money from teamsters for upbeat Afghan camel drivers who are their economic and racial competitor thus celebrating “the creed of the bush, ” was also the year when White Australia policy was instituted, and when Miss Australia in Henry Souter’s cartoon in Edmond’s Bulletin declared before a bowing Indian man that what she wanted was not “a British nigger” but “no nigger” at all. Its supreme goal of the Nineties – the Federation – having been the achieved, after 1901 the Bulletin aggressively supported the White Australia Policy which advocated the exclusion of all non-Caucasians as a major item of national consensus. In this ethnocentric age Henry Lawson continued to argue for mateship by citing the Biblical Good Samaritan, defining the term as “an ideal of personal devotion, trust and generosity, irrespective of class or creed.” Thus Giraffe, a true bushman living by this creed, could do no other than bring that billy of soup to the exhausted Afghan drivers.
