Professor Gary Foley is an historian, academic and freedom fighter of Gumbainggir descent who has been on the front line of Aboriginal rights and justice battles for more than 50 years. In 1972 he helped establish the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in Canberra which came to be a defining event in the Black Power movement. Later, he was involved in setting up the first Victorian Aboriginal Health service in Fitzroy.
The lifelong Marxist has been involved in countless struggles including the epic fight to save Northland Secondary College from closure in the 1990s. Famed for his debating skills, Prof Foley demolished right wing journalists and politicians alike with his intellect and wit.
Prof Foley sits down with Stephen to explain how he led a group of working class parents and students to victory in the Supreme Court against the ruthless right wing Kennett Government.
The wide-ranging discussion also covers the origins of the Black Power movement in Australia, the problem with Collingwood Football Club, the future of the Greens Party and much more.
