Sigh....there's always one isn't there. This was meant to be positive.
I made no reference to a glorious past....because, except for solidarity, it wasn't. My aim was to remember difficult times and try to learn lessons from them, including the need for healing. As for the length of the Dispute (no it wasn't a strike), I refer you to the late Mr. Abeles, Mr Hawke, Mr Kelty, Mr Crean and Mr Murdoch.
If the Dispute and the live cattle ban are the two worst things you've ever seen you do indeed live in a privileged little bubble. And yet it clearly brings you no joy.
I wish you well. I hope the rest of us can make some positive steps in the year ahead. I really do.
