23 agos 1966 año - Wave Hill walk-off
Descripción:
The walk-off on 23 August1966 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.
