Hi, I’ve just blogged about this at
http://brisbaneposts.blogspot.com/2008/05/brisbane-politics-may-1968-seminar.html
(Well, I cut and pasted the words and added links)
The only speaker I could find no online info about was Maria O’Neill. Could you please let me know some background about her so I can add it to my post?
Regards,
David Jackmanson
David, I only have what I’ve posted. If you need more, I suggest emailing Brian Laver.
