A popular meeting place for artists & writers, it comprised a mixture of university students, lecturers, bohemians and libertarians.]]

Amongst the key intellectual figures in Push debates were philosophers David J. Ivison, [[George Molnar (philosopher)|George Molnar]], Roelof Smilde, Darcy Waters<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Moorhouse |first=Frank |authorlink=Frank Moorhouse |date=14 Aug 1971 |title=The prince of Bohemia |url=https://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-1541194548/view?sectionId=nla.obj-1723504544 |magazine=The Bulletin |location=Sydney |volume=93 |issue=4768 |pages=41–43 |access-date=30 June 2022}}</ref> and [[A.

J. Baker|Baker, A. J.]], ''The Politics of 1984'' pp. 34–43, ''[[Arna (publication)|Arna]]'' (S.U.

Arts Society, 1961)</ref> whose essay on [[Yevgeny Zamyatin|Zamyatin]]'s ''[[We (novel)|We]]'' concluded:
<blockquote>... [[George Orwell|Orwell]] spins out to its last conclusion the illusion that the fate of freedom depends mainly on the colour of the ruling party. ''We'', precisely because it presents its rebels as apolitical, as individualists if you wish, cuts through this falsehood. Zamyatin's superior social insight, although presented and presumably gained artistically and not by way of scientific analysis, consists first in his firm rejection of the rationality or finality of history and, second, in his recognition that anarchic protest against those in power, not the capture of power, is at the core of freedom.</blockquote>

Hiatt and Nestor Grivas's ''Helenic Herald'' published a collection of Sydney libertarian essays as ''The Sydney Line'' in 1963.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Hamilton |first1=Annette |title=In Memorium: L.
