"In 1929 one of the darkest chapters in Australian industrial history was written in blood and bitterness on the Northern Coalfields of NSW … it took 15 months for the enemies to fight themselves to a standstill…"

During this dark period, 10,000 miners found themselves locked out of their Hunter Valley coalmines in a bitter industrial dispute over pay rates.

What began as an undeclared war on industrial labour ended up overpowering a government, crippling an industry and besieging a community.

This event challenged the rights of every Australian, and redefined the political and industrial landscape of a country that witnessed an event forever remembered as ‘The Great Australian Lockout’.

Many will not recognise the names and/or locations but will still be able to draw valuable lessons from one of the very few documented illustrations of the lengths Capital and Governments will go to to squeeze the last bit of blood from workers.
