DALE LORNA JACOBSEN TALKS ABOUT HER NEW NOVEL, UNION JACK
Jack O'Leary was a coalminer in Wales before becoming a militant union delegate with the Australian Railways Union in Queensland. His activism coincided with the emergence of the Communist Party, which had a strong following in Queensland and its railways in the 1920s, and with a fear campaign against communism led by the ALP Central Committee. The political struggles set the scene for increasing confrontation between Labor’s Left and Right factions that ended in physical violence, with fatal consequences. Dale Lorna Jacobsen, granddaughter of Jack O’Leary, has written her family’s story into the novel Union Jack (2011). 6.30 – 7.30 pm, The New International Bookshop, Lower Ground Floor, Trades Hall, Victoria St, Carlton South.

SEXUAL VIOLENCE IN WAR
