Source Analysis Practice

1. Analyse source 1 and explain its historical
context

(consider dates, places, events, people)

Source 1 Australian soldiers in Papua New Guines,

Source 2 Front page of The Sun, February 1942
September 1942
2. What does source 2 suggest about the impact of the Japanese attack to Australia? Which
terms or strategies help to convey the message?

3. Analyse source 3 and source 4; then, answer the following questions

Source 3
“Do we have the right to freedom of speech in Australia?” (2020) from www.FindLaw.com

“Some of us may presume that because we live in a liberal democracy like Australia, certain
personal freedoms are a given – like free speech – and that any imposition on a person’s
speech would be viewed as an attempt to curtail the freedom. Additionally, we’re going to
presume (for the sake of the topic of this piece) that many Australians would be familiar with
the US Constitution and specifically the First Amendment which states; “Congress shall make
no law… abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press…”, and we’re going to also guess
(again for efficacy) that some people may believe that we here in Australia also enjoy a
similar type of Constitutional protection: But do we? Well… it must be said that Australia’s
free speech laws are interesting to say the least.

The High Court in Lange stated that the protection of freedom of communication in the
Constitution is not absolute, and that “[i]t is limited to what is necessary for the effective
operation of that system of representative and responsible government provided for by the
Constitution.” Perhaps the biggest thing that we can take away from the
unanimous Lange decision is that the High Court provided certainty to the area of free
speech in Australia, and that overall, the implied freedom of political communication gives
rise to a system of representative and responsible governance.”

Source 4: Article titled “Climate protesters thumbing noses at taxpayers: Peter

Dutton” by Olivia Caisley, published on The Australian on 10th October 2019.

“Home Affairs Minister Mr Dutton said the protesters ‘didn’t believe in democracy’ and
would continue to disrupt the community if kept being given a slap on the wrist or
words of encouragement from the magistrate. The Peter Dutton said police had more
important issues to worry about, such as domestic violence, and encouraged officers
to retrieve the financial cost they had incurred by trying to keep the protests at bay.
Mr Dutton said that ‘police need to take civil action against these individuals, they
need to recover the full cost of the police response to these individuals, and they
need to enforce this by the courts’. He said the protesters did not believe in
democracy and doubled-down on his calls to scrap their welfare payments.”

a) Explain the purpose of source 3

 b) Explain the purpose of source 4

For example, was the author trying to explain, inform, convince, criticise or educate? Why? What was
the author’s overall aim? What was the goal of the speech/article/photo? Why was it produced? Use
evidence from the source, and what you know about it, to support the response. E.g. Who wrote it,
where, when?

c) Evaluate how useful source 3 and 4 are at providing an understanding of the

concept of freedom of speech in Australia.

This question deals with the quality and quantity of information you are getting from the source.
Consider some of the following:

- How much information are you getting?

- How reliable is it? (so consider who made the source and when it was produced.)
- Are there gaps in the information being given?
- Why the source was created? Was it propaganda, historical study, recall of an event,
social comment etc?)
- When was it published, are there any obvious inaccuracies or bias?
- Does its reliability impact on its usefulness?
- It is also important to not just talk about reliability, also discuss the relevance of the
source and its value as a representation of the period/issue/event in your answer. All
sources are useful in some way. Being unreliable, in itself, can tell us a lot about the
creator of a source – their beliefs, their reasoning and their motives.

Source 5: Political cartoon published on The Australian on 3rd August 2018:

a) Explain the message of Source 5.

b) Identify the three liberties/freedoms represented in Source 6
c) Do you think it is important to keep freedom of speech safe in Australia? Why?
 d) Find one point of comparison and one point of contrast between Source 5 and 6.
Include evidence (quote or symbol) from the sources

4. Analyse carefully the source below before answering the questions that
follow (a-g)
Source 6: Infographic (Source: Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion and Public Life)
 According to the infographic:

a) “Christians are persecuted in more countries than other major religions.”

Please circle: True or False

b) In how many countries public preaching is limited by law?

c) How many countries have terrorist activism based on religious fanatism?

d) “Government restrictions getting worse in the majority of countries.”

e) Please circle: True or False

f) In 2008, which type of violent perpetration were more common?

g) “Between 2008 and 2009 there has been an increase in violent perpetrations by
governments.”
Please circle: True or False
