A Song By Paul Kelly and Kev Carmody =A91992

(With some pics and notes at http://unionsong.com/u036.html. The "tall
stranger" is Labor PM Gough Whitlam re 1975 Land Rights legislation. For
more detail on the strike including the role of the CPA in struggles for
Indigenous rights see http://www.greenleft.org.au/1995/197/11483)

Gather round people and I'll tell you a story
An eight year long story of power and pride
British Lord Vestey and Vincent Lingiari
Were opposite men on opposite sides

Vestey was fat with money and muscle
Beef was his business, broad was his door
Vincent was lean and spoke very little
He had no bank balance, hard dirt was his floor
