Queensland Figaro and Punch cover, 16 March 1889, depicting Irish Australians, bearing a banner of the HACBS and offering enthusiastic support to Parnell's struggle for Home Rule.

The Queensland Figaro and Punch was a weekly newspaper published from 1885 to 1936 in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

History

The newspaper was a merger of two previous newspapers, the Queensland Figaro and the Queensland Punch. [1] The Queensland Figaro was originally published on January 6, 1883 [2] by John Edgar (Bobby) Byrne. [1] From 1901 until 1936 the newspaper was once again published under its original name, with print stopping only during First World War and several years thereafter. [3]

The paper has been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program of the National Library of Australia. [4] [5]
