The Australasian Chronicle
First published on 2 August 1839, "The Australasian Chronicle" was published by Andrew Bent, for William Augustine Duncan, from 1839 - 1843. Its stated aim was "to explain and uphold the civil and religious principles of the Catholics, and to maintain their rights". The paper was started by Bishop Polding, OSB, and a learned Scottish immigrant, Duncan, a convert to Catholicism. It engaged in vigorous controversy in defence of Catholic interests. It had several name changes to "The Morning Chronicle", "The Chronicle" and "The Sydney Chronicle". It was eventually superseded by "The Freeman's Journal" which commenced publication on 27 June 1850.
