Slivers – Anecdotes on Thirty-Five Years of Political & Social Campaigns Around the World

Historical anecdotes of campaigns and issues.

The stories that are linked from this page are my memories written, mostly, thirty years after the events. They cover campaigns including those around the Franklin, Kakadu, East Gippsland (the Rodger River and others), Daintree, Jabiluka, Coronation Hill and on subjects such as uranium mining and campaigning on Aboriginal rights in Tennant Creek. as well as recollections of working in France, Bangkok, Auckland and other places.

So far as my memory serves, these are historically accurate but others may choose to disagree.

The first of these is about the occupation of Coronation Hill, published in December 2017. Others will follow over the next six months….
