Tribune (Australian newspaper)

[11] On 15 June 1941 the Communist Party was banned and hundreds of properties were searched for printing presses and evidence of illegal membership.

[12] On 29 July 1941[13] Tribune returned as a pamphlet, initially printed on rough paper using a manual press, which had been purchased by editor Harry Gould in anticipation of such an action.

[15] The Socialist newspaper Forward (board members included Lance Sharkey, Jim Healy, Tom Wright and Ernie Thornton, with Harry Gould as business manager) acknowledged its communist affiliation in 1942, when it became a partial replacement for the Tribune, and merged with that paper when its legal status was restored.

[a][16] In 1945 T. N. P. "Big Tom" Dougherty, general secretary of the Australian Workers' Union, was awarded £1500 in damages in a libel suit against Tribune[17] in respect of an article which appeared in the issue of 8 February 1945.
