A popular and respected trades unionist, Tom Chapman was elected a divisional organiser of the Amalgamated Engineering Union in 1958, beating his communist opponent by one vote. This pitched him into the bitter struggle between the moderates and the hard-left who, in many cases, were financed and directed from Moscow. Such conflict could be treated as an ugly memory best forgotten, but as the hard left gained control of more unions, Marxist economic philosophy, with its essentially divisive nature, pitting labour and capital against each other, is returning to bedevil industrial relations and damage the economy. To stand for moderation and fair play in such circumstances needs courage and re...
Abel is on the Mighty Lions, a youth football team, and they've made it to the final! But there is too much pressure to win. Can he and his teammates win the match to please the fans, their coach and their families? Or will the pressure make them crumble?
Sir Richard Dry was the most popular and revered figure of 19th Century Tasmania. Was he also Australia’s first gay political leader? You decide. He was extraordinarily generous, gregarious, hospitable and public spirited. Though endowed with little business sense and afflicted by gambling, he inherited considerable wealth, which he enjoyed and spread around liberally. His great passions were education, railways, self-government and opposition to the convict system. Sadly, he died just before our first railway was completed.
Up to a certain age, Tom Chapman rarely had any reason to worry about his - or anyone else's - mental health. Aside from a bout of loneliness when his friends left town to go to university, he didn't struggle too badly with his emotions either. But when he suddenly lost a friend to suicide, Tom knew that he wanted to do something to change the culture around men's mental health. Through his work as a barber, he recognised how important it was to encourage men to talk to each other. He knew that if he could just help men to open up, then perhaps he could save lives. And so the 'Lions Barber Collective' was born: an international group of top barbers, all of which came together to encourage conversation and help raise awareness for the prevention of suicide. In Barber Talk, Tom explains how his response to a personal tragedy helped him affect real social change and make a powerful impact on the lives of those around him.
