This recently recovered and released paper by Donald J Markwell of 
the Reserve Bank of Australia was presented at a seminar at the 
Reserve Bank of Australia in September 1985. The paper discusses  
John Maynard Keynes's dealings with Australian government officials 
mainly during the period between World War I and World War II, a time 
of great "economic and social turmoil." The paper covers five main 
topics including the early impact of Keynesian economics in 
Australia, Keynes and the Australian Prime Minister, William Morris 
Hughes's views of the demands against Germany after the Great War, 
and the influence of Keynes in Australia's handling of its economic 
Depression. Albeit fifteen years old, this paper's conclusions are 
still quite relevant amd topical today. [EM]
