AUSTRALIA has just four schools under the care of the Jesuits: St Ignatius, Riverview, and St Aloysius in Sydney; Xavier in Melbourne; and St Ignatius, Athelstone, in Adelaide. Yet in the present parliament, the prime minister-elect, Tony Abbott, and the leader-in-waiting of the Nationals and hence the deputy prime minister-in-waiting, Barnaby Joyce, are Riverview old boys.
The next treasurer, Joe Hockey, is an old Aloysian, and the future leader of government business and education minister, Christopher Pyne, is an old boy of Athelstone. The new Nationals member for Lyne, David Gillespie, is also an old Riverview boy, a classmate of Abbott.
The prominence of Jesuit ex-pupils is often enough remarked on but usually with the implication that the label "Jesuit" has an identifiable, well-known and stable meaning. It doesn't.
There is a simplistic and inaccurate assumption, for example, that Jesuit products, like Jesuits themselves, will be sophisticated, urbane, cultured, learned, cunning; more or less like those other Jesuit old boys: Descartes, Rousseau, Voltaire, Alfred Hitchcock, Fidel Castro and
Robert Mugabe. This is absurd, of course, but a belief lingers that there must be something in it.
