Chase the Commons/ To chase the commons had its genesis on the New South Wales North Coast and links to my Typepad blog set up to track North Coast labour history - because that was diminishing as workers' local institutions of labour closed down. Over time that blog, and so this, has become a smorgasbord of labour history, social justice, safety crimes and workplace, words on traveling. And what's that all about if not to guard our commons?
And the soul of the artist, did he but know it. A man who should have lived somewhere on the Mediterranean, with his love and his watercolours. Maybe he'd have been quite at home on this Andalucian hill. This was my father: he painted.
