Honest History

Honest History is a website and newsletter that contests and challenges the misuse of Australian history for political agendas. It offers evidence-based interpretations to students, teachers, universities, journalists and the public.

Up until February 2019, its Board included noted Australian academics and commentators Professor Frank Bongiorno,  Professor Peter Stanley and  Dr Alison Broinowski.  I don’t know the reasons why it became unincorporated, but the website and newsletter continue under Dr David Stephens as Editor.
​
It's worth reading their Editorial and Moderation Policy before plunging into the many hotly debated themes of Australian history discussed. This website is not for the faint-hearted that holds dear the myths perpetuated about Australian historical events. “There is much more to Australian history than the Anzac tradition; there is much more to our war history than nostalgia and tales of heroism.” (Honest History)
