My first husband was involved with AK policing during the Springbok tour & as he was one of 11 kids he had some sibs on the other side of the barricades...not a comfortable thing. I think he was also seconded to the Bastion Point protests prior, from Wgtn.
The bro was involved in a garage band called Gideon & The Task Force for a while. Gideon Tait was Pol Commish.
I was in the UK when the Springbok tour was going. I recall being in the BBC newsroom when they were screening what was going on. It was shocking and quite unbelievable. I knew people on both side of the barricades as well - they were uncomfortable times.

I've never protested physically.

"One that I recall was a form of “occupation” of Albert Park" - talk about history repeating.
I think in those days they were called "happenings"
