'This book of stories from the rich tradition of radical dissent in Perth and Fremantle is lively and engaging. Use it to explore the sites of protest and appreciate the remarkable range of local and international causes that were taken up from colonial times to the present. It will be a real eye-opener too for readers in states outside Western Australia.' Stuart McIntyre Emeritus Laureate Professor, University of Melbourne President Federal Executive Australian Society for the Study of Labour History
