About this ebook

In the 1970s and 1980s, hundreds of people sought membership of the ALP branches of the inner-Sydney municipality of Leichardt. By the beginning of the 1990s, many of these participants deserted the branches seeking allegiance to independents, Democrats and Greens. This tells the story of this switch from members' viewpoints.
