Liz O'Brien

Liz was station manager at Community Radio 2XX from 1978-2000.

 

During the hey-day of the second wave of feminism Liz was a strong advcate for women's rights and participation in media and life generally. She actively supported anti-Apartheid picket lines in Canberra during the 1980s, was an activist in Aboriginal rights, including as a legal advocate for indigenous people in northern Australia. She is also very active in the free Palistine movement, and has been so since the 1970s.

 

I took this photo following an interview on Community Radio 2XX, where Liz was reflecting upon how social, political and cultural life has changed over the past 50 years in Canberra and more broadly across Australia.

 

Thank you everyone for your generous comments and faves. Appreciated.
