Yet few historians have considered the impact of law on everyday lives in Australia during the Great War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this original book, lawyer and historian Catherine Bond breathes life into the laws that were central to the way that people’s daily lives were managed in Australia 1914–18. Riveting and at times shocking, it argues that in First World War Australia, law perpetuated a form of tyranny in the name of victory in war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBond finds that law was used as a tool against many Australians to discriminate, oppress, censor and deprive them of property, liberty and basic human rights. This legal regime created a deep injustice that, for the most part, has remained undocumented and unacknowledged.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book examines and documents individual experiences under the law, so we meet:\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe men who wrote the laws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA police officer who enforced the law\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo men interned under the law\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo female protesters who were gaoled under the law\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA man imprisoned multiple times then deported\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree men who were discriminated against by the law\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo men who benefitted from the law\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eMany infamous laws were used during this period, including the War Precautions Act (and its myriad regulations) and the Unlawful Associations Act.
