Withinayearofhisarrival,Duncanwasediting thefirstCatholicpaperinthehistoryofAustralia, thusbecomingAustralia'sfirstCatholicnewspaper editor.
Thepaperwas"TheAustralasianChronicle,"which firstappearedinSydneyonFriday.August2,1839, asabi-weekly.

Hisresignationfromthe"Chronicle"waslinked withchargesthatthepaperhadbecometoopolitical andthatithad,ineffect,becomeamouthpiecefor thepoliticalviewsofDuncan.
ThesechargesreachedaclimaxwhenFatherJohn McEncroe,whohadbeeninthecolonyover10years atthetime,andwhowasadministeringthediocese intheabsenceofDr.Polding,whowasabroad,wrote aletterofprotesttothepaper,whichappearedinits columns:
