Books by Meredith Burgmann

At the height of the building boom in the 1970s, a remarkable campaign stopped billions of dollars worth of indiscriminate development that was turning Australian cities into concrete jungles. Enraging employers and politicians but delighting the wider community, the members of the NSW Builders Labourers' Federation took a stand. Green Bans, Red Union documents the Union's story.

In this moving, funny and sometimes chilling book, leading Australians open their ASIO files and read what the state's security apparatus said about them.
