1 Brexit, Australian Style Stuart Ward , 2020 single work essay
— Appears in: Griffith Review , no. 69 2020; (p. 166-175) 'It was always going to be 'Australian-style. When Boris Johnson unveiled his government's new points-based immigration system in early February 2020, designed to 'deliver Brexit' by shifting Britain's migrant intake 'away from a reliance on cheap labour from Europe', the spin cycle was at full tilt. This was no raising of the drawbridge, but a signal that 'the UK is open and welcoming to the top talent front across the world' — inspired by the shining example of Australia. Throughout the 2019 election campaign, Johnson had relentlessly touted an 'Australian-style points-based system' as a way of 'taking back control' of Britain's borders. Though criticised by his own independent advisory committee for signalling 'different things to different people, the 'Australian-style' tag stuck.' (Introduction)

1 1 y separately published work icon Exhuming Passions : The Pressure of the Past in Ireland and Australia Katie Holmes (editor), Stuart Ward (editor), Dublin : Irish Academic Press , 2011 Z1841728 2011 anthology criticism

Exhuming Passions is a collection of essays by leading Australian and Irish scholars about how the past is remembered and contested in these two countries that are often singled out because of their bitterly disputed remembrance.

Each chapter addresses a different topical issue such as how war is commemorated - particularly the changing national myths surrounding Anzac Day and the Easter Rising; government apologies for harms done by previous generations - to the Stolen Generations and state apologies for institutional and religious child sexual abuse.

The book also discusses how the past is constructed in film and literature - Irish and Australian historical fiction, the changing cinematic representations of Irish religions, how the colonial past is represented in Australian cinema, as well as the changing urban culture of Canberra and Dublin.
