Liberty and Liberalism (Dodo Press) Bruce Smith

Bruce Arthur Smith KC (1851-1937) was a long serving Australian politician and leading political opponent of the White Australia policy. In 1887, he published Liberty and Liberalism, a defence of classical Adam Smith liberalism in politics and economics and an attack against what he considered the increasing interference by the state. Additionally, he later wrote books on the Constitution of Australia, the dangers of socialism and a volume of verse. Elected as the member for Glebe in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly in 1889, Smith was almost immediately promoted by Premier Henry Parkes to Secretary for Public Works, and later, Treasurer. Following the Federation of Australia in 1901, he successfully contested the newly created federal Division of Parkes at the inaugural Australian federal election as a Free Trade Party representative. He campaigned strongly against the idea of restricting non-white immigration, believing it to be racial discrimination.
