23 Aug 1966 Jahr - Wave Hill walk-off

Beschreibung:

The walk-off on 23 August
1966 was initially in response to the British Vestey Company’s refusal to pay the Gurindji farm workers wages of $25.00 per week. The Commonwealth had granted ‘equal pay’ to Aboriginal workers a year earlier, but there was little evidence that companies were complying with the new law, and the Wave Hill workers
chose to take a stand.
