Malcolm Fraser, 'Kerr's Cur'.

That the best PM we could've ever wished for was 'dismissed' by Kerr & Fraser cast a heavy pall over our country, one from which we will never recover, I fear.

Native stockmen with cattle at Wave Hill station.

Lingiari accepting the lease documents from Gough Whitlam at the ceremony where native title was returned. Kev Carmody and Paul Kelly wrote and performed a song about this event titled 'From Little Things, Big Things Grow'. You can listen to it here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_ndC07C2qw

Today is the anniversary of the Wave Hill walk-off, where 200 Aboriginal stockmen led by #VincentLingiari, walked off the job to demand equal pay. Camping at Wattie Creek (Daguragu), they sought the return of their traditional lands. 9 years later, the land was handed back to the Gurindji people.
