- Abstract
The article offers information on how friendly societies have demobilised as Australia took over the provision of welfare. It presents criticisms for friendly societies for their exclusionary membership rules, strange rituals and secret handshakes, even though they served admirable purposes. It discusses the transition to public welfare from mutual assistance that was particularly quick in Australia, where people have viewed historically the government as a vast public utility.
