Summary
Delving deep into the archives of Australian history, we speak with historian Effie Karageorgos about her new book, Quiet Protest. The Vietnam War sparked the largest demonstrations Australia had ever seen. In this episode, Effie allows us a realistic look at the numbers and diversity of this movement. During Australia's involvement in the war, members of parliament from both sides, clergy and church-goes, housewives and mothers, public servants, the arts and sporting figures attended, spoke up or were involved in novel ways to raise public awareness. And, of Mabel Wilson, who donated one-third of her pension cheque to bring our boys home.
