member of the Builders Labourers Federation (BLF) and current member of the
Earthworker Collective, and Dr Meredith Burgmann, who was an active supporter
of the green bans, co-authored Green Bans, Red Union: the Saving of a City
with her sister Verity Burgmann, and was later a Labor member of parliament.
