1 y separately published work icon Strength in Battle : The Memoirs of Joseph Anderson Panton, Goldfields' Commissioner and Magistrate Joseph Anderson Panton , Hugh Anderson (editor), Melbourne : Australian Scholarly Publishing , 2018 14158805 2018 single work autobiography

'The Victorian gold rushes attracted punctilious worthies and sharp operators, but rarely were these characters fused as in the personality of Joseph Anderson Panton, high-minded pillar of society as well as scourge of poor miners and political foes. Panton’s previously unpublished memoirs trace vividly his strange career as itinerant dignitary, severe commissioner and magistrate, vigneron, pastoralist and painter, revealing new and surprising aspects of colonial social life.'

1 'Paddy', the Sydney Street Poet Hugh Anderson , 2002 single work criticism
— Appears in: Labour History , May no. 82 2002; (p. 137-152)

'The extensive literature of broadside ballads in English generally agrees that this form of verse and song has been virtually extinct since the beginning of the twentieth century. The reverse position is the correct one for Australia. There were several street balladists to be found in Melbourne and Sydney, at least, and this article claims premier position for the local and, for the time, topical verses of Patrick Francis Collins. 'Paddy' wrote many ballads about disasters, murders and war, but commented particularly on social affairs and politics from a labour perspective.'
