As leader of the NSW Builders’ Labourers’ Federation he was central to the famous Green Bans of the 1970s which defended built heritage and open space against development opposed by communities large and small. In this interview he discusses the reasons for rank and file support of the left wing leadership of the union, and alliances formed with a range of different groups with similar environmental concerns including well-heeled suburban women and the NSW National Trust. He recalls some outstanding bans, his time as a Sydney City councillor, the threat of development in Millers Point, community division, deregulation, privatisation, and commercialisation of The Rocks.LanguageEnglish (eng)Digitised recordNoBorn digital itemYes
