The published work was launched on 30 January 2007 to mark the centenary of the foundation of the PGA. Industrial relations are highlighted, with the Association playing a dominant role in shearing conditions and disputes, while debates over the Aboriginal land rights processes of the 1980s and 1990s and the struggle for better pastoral land tenure are described in detail, along with the fight to retain live sheep shipments and to restore competition in the lamb, wool and grain industries.
