Penal Powers
Written in 1958, this booklet by Jack McPhillips, sets out the plans of the then Menzies Liberal government to punish Australian trade unions for defending their members. Modern readers will see many parallels between the actions of the government then and in more recent time, a recommended reading for unionists everywhere!
