This is a timeline of various political, legal, military, social, economic and environmental events that have occurred in Oceania (a region encompassing the states of Australia, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Samoa, Micronesia, Tonga, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Palau, Tuvalu, Nauru) that are relevant to libertarian socialism.

1900s

1964: The Mount Isa Mines Strike occurs over pay disputes, but soon sees a complex struggle evolve for control of the union either by the IWW, communists, liberals or corporation.
1972: Construction workers take over the unfinished Sydney Opera House and run it as a self-managed workplace in protest of the unjust firing of a fellow worker. Not only does this improve productivity, but it also results in large gains for the working class across Australia.
1972: Mineworkers take over the Clutha Development Mine and run it as a self-managed workplace to prevent closure of the mine.
1982: The blockade during the Franklin River Campaign begins to stop the construction of environmentally destructive dam along the Gordon River in Tasmania, Australia.
1986: The Anarcho-Syndicalist Federation is founded in Melbourne, Australia.
1990: Tramworkers' in Melbourne, Australia take over the trams and depots, placing them under workers' control in protest of efforts to privatise the tram network.
