    Brian Manning a Blast from the Past: an Activist's Account of the Wave

    Brian Manning A Blast From the Past: An activist’s account of the Wave Hill walk-off The 6th Vincent Lingiari Memorial Lecture Delivered by Brian Manning Northern Territory University 23rd August 2002 Photo - Manning Collection [from Freedom Day website - http://freedomday.info/] There was an expectation amongst Aboriginal Workers that the 1965 application to vary the Cattle Industry Award by the North Australian Workers Union would at last grant them wage justice and remove laws which arbitrarily denied them equal value for equal work. For a seven day week, working from sun-up to sun-down Aboriginal pastoral workers in the Northern Territory were paid around 3 pounds 6 shillings ($7.00) when white workers were paid around 23 pounds ($46). In addition Aboriginal workers were to be fed in accordance with a schedule in the Wards Employment Ordinance, which provided for an adequate and varied nutritious diet. Daily fare in the Wave Hill stock camps consisted of dry-salted beef, dry bread, tea and sugar. Employer advocates asserted that most Aboriginal workers were merely hose-holders; an inference that they were only capable of watering the vegetable garden on the station and therefore were not deserving of the same wage and conditions as non-Aboriginal workers. Contrary to the argument expounded by many of the employers that Aborigines either couldn’t handle money or alternatively had nothing to spend it on there was eager anticipation amongst Aboriginal Communities who would be able buy up on consumer goods: radios, record players, records, stockmen’s outfits clothes and toys for their wives and kids and maybe even a second hand motorcar when the travelling hawkers came round.

    Leviathan Mr Stirling Tuckey Tells of the Era of “Leviathan”, a Cargo Vessel That Worked Between Fremantle and Mandurah

    Leviathan Mr Stirling Tuckey tells of the era of “Leviathan”, a cargo vessel that worked between Fremantle and Mandurah. Black Bess There would be only a handful of people in the township of Mandurah today who would remember the Leviathan. Most of them would remember her as “Black Bess” or just plain Wilson’s boat, but she and her builder deserve to take a place in the early history of Mandurah for it was the venture of an old man, helped by his two sons, who worked hard for many long hours, days, months and even years, barely existing at times for lack of money or even food, to accomplish a purpose. This was to provide for Mandurah a seagoing vessel to carry cargo to and from Fremantle and help put Mandurah on the map. Well do I remember the day when she was launched! The chocks were knocked from beneath her hull and with quite some persuasion she slid down into the creek barely deep enough for her to float. From the “big bridge” she looked immense. She must have been the biggest ship ever to be within the Mandurah bar. 3 PINJARRA Road Mandurah, Western Australia | T: (08) 9550 3681 | E: [email protected] Leviathan Continued Fremantle to Mandurah Before the Great War the only means of transport between Fremantle and Mandurah was by sea (cargo only) or rail to Pinjarra and then by horse and coach or some other form of horse transport to the township. The road to Fremantle was for the greater part a track through the sand, except for patches of stony outcrop for miles north of Mandurah.

Transnational Glamour, National Allure: Community, Change and Cliché in Baz Luhrmann’s Australia. Meaghan Morris What are the links between stories and the wider social world—the contextual conditions for stories to be told and for stories to be received? What brings people to give voice to a story at a particular historical moment? … and as the historical moment shifts, what stories may lose their significance and what stories may gain in tellability? (Plummer 25). The vantage points from which we customarily view the world are, as William James puts it, ‘fringed forever by a more’ that outstrips and outruns them (Jackson 23-24). Poetry from the future interrupts the habitual formation of bodies, and it is an index of a time to come in which what today exists potently—even if not (yet) effectively— but escapes us will find its time. (Keeling, ‘Looking for M—’ 567) 1 The first time I saw Baz Luhrmann’s Australia I laughed till I cried. To be exact, I cried laughing at dinner after watching the film with a group of old friends at an inner suburban cinema in Sydney. During the screening itself I laughed and I cried. As so often in the movies, our laughter was public and my tears were private, left to dry on my face lest the dabbing of a tissue or an audible gulp should give my emotion away. The theatre was packed that night with a raucously critical audience groaning at the dialogue, hooting at moments of high melodrama (especially Jack Thompson’s convulsive death by stampeding cattle) and cracking jokes at travesties of history perceived on screen.

VICKI GORDON We’re proud that Queensland is the inaugural home to this phenomenal program. The Queensland Government is committed to promoting the work of women in all fields, including the arts, and positions of leadership. We have pledged to appoint 50 per cent women to government boards by 2020, because we know that companies This evening we will make Australian music history. that appoint more women do better. The inaugural Australian Women in Music Awards is the result of many Australian women contribute a great deal to the country’s contemporary music industry, and yet only one in five voices and many visions coming together, all of whom refuse to allow registered songwriters and composers in our nation are women. Women also represent almost half of all Australians women’s contribution in the Australian Music Industry to be sidelined with a music qualification, and yet hold only one in four senior roles in our key music industry organisations.
