About the book
Australasian & Pacific History : c1750 to c1900. Australian. Second only to the rebellion of Eureka Stockade, the great Queensland shearer's strike of 1891 was suppressed with the threat of troops with artillery and machine guns. The leaders were marched in chains for hundreds of miles and gaoled in loaded courts. This was the birth of the ALP. Many of the leaders became Members of Parliament. This is the first time the real story has been told of the machinations of the pastoralists, politicians, banksters, and like parasites in their antagonism against Australian workers.
