Abstract: Abstract From colonial times through the mid-twentieth century, as Australia and Canada developed their respective economies, political movements, and national personalities, the ruling British Protestant elite assumed key leadership positions in public administration, commerce, and politics. However, the impact on local culture was not identical because the composition of the dominant populations differed. Unlike Canada, the Australian working class was marked by a strong Irish Catholic presence. Hence, their influence grew as Australia’s working class rose to prominence through the establishment of the Australian Labor Party (ALP).
