Letters to the EditorTribute to Jennie
As one of the M.U.A. wharfies who was locked out by Patricks Stevedores, My mates and I had the great fortune of meeting Jennie George on numerous occasions. It would not be any exageration to state that she is both loved and respected by all the people who were involved on our Australia wide picket lines. On behalf of all my mates from Patricks Stevedores at Port Botany I would like to pass on my own thankyou to this great Australian and to wish her every success in whatever venture she may undertake in the future, thanks Jenny, Mate!
