Interview with COUNCILLOR JACKIE M FRISTACKY
' We are well organised and we have public support. We have to win this campaign. ... While the Eddington report is due at the end of March 2008, it appears that the government has pre-empted the outcome in announcing that there will be a tunnel linking the freeways - as per the 1969 transport plan which was overturned in the 1970s.
The community will become radicalised if there is an attempt to construct a tunnel link without a railway line.
Many people are opposed to a tunnel in any event, but without a rail service, thousands more will be catalysed into opposing a road tunnel.'

Interview with Zelda D'Aprano ' We had so much fun. We felt alive, so alive. It was a wonderful experience being part of the Women’s Liberation Movement at that time.'

"It is very important that women have some view of what is going on in their communities and in the world, so they are able to articulate their thoughts on injustices. We need more women who become known." Edith Morgan
