I remember the brutality vividly. I was beaten by the police and hospitalized as a consequence, effectively ending my sojourn in the deep north. As the years passed and Bjelke's grip weakened, I would tell my friends I would throw a party when he lost office, then when he was arraigned I said I would throw a party when he was sent to jail. More years passed and finally he died and someone demanded laughingly said party. My only response was to quietly think to myself that I would throw a party when someone with sufficient authority confirmed that he was safely burning in hell.

She had fled Queensland to Sydney in 1978. Lindy Morrison had very little to do with the protests at the time. She had fled Queensland to Sydney in 1978.
