On 23 August 1966, Aboriginal workers walked off the job at Wave Hill cattle station in the Northern Territory. They stayed out for seven years. This is an account of life in the strike camp, as remembered by Tanya McConvell, who lived at Daguragu from 1974 to 1977.
The Russian Revolution teaches us that workers can unite, that the oppressed can rise up, that workers can come to see that they need to and can run society. That’s why the events of 1917 are worth celebrating, writes Sandra Bloodworth.
