The Boomerang

The Boomerang was a weekly newspaper published in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.[1]

History

The newspaper was established by William Lane in 1887, publishing its first issue on 19 November 1887.[2][3] In 1891, Lane was approached to be the editor of The Worker, a newspaper being established by the local labour unions. As a consequence, Lane sold The Boomerang to Gresley Lukin. Lukin published the newspaper until 9 April 1892 after the company was voluntarily wound up.[4][5][6][7]

Alfred Stephens worked as a sub-editor, but left in 1891 to become editor and part proprietor of the Cairns Argus.
