Academic Nick Everett Excerpt from address about the Pilbara Strike at Perth Trades Hall in 2024 as part of a symposium held by the Perth Branch of the Australasian Society for the Study of Labour History. 

...The sheep's wool dragged and the squatters swore

And talked nice words till their tongues got sore

And their bellies swelled with so much lies

But the blackfellers shooed them off like flies.

The sheep got lost on the squatters' run.

The shearing season was nearly done.

Said the squatters eaten up with greed,

"We'll pay good wages and give good feed."

The blackfellers sheared the wool and then

Got their wages like working-men.

The squatters' words were stiff and sore,

"We won't pay wages like that no more."...

Excerpt from the poem "Clancey and Doolery and Don Mcleod" by Dorothy Hewett
