Paul Kelly - From Little Things Big Things Grow AUSTRALIAN MUSIC REACTION

[@joalha123]

The tall stranger (pictured here) who poured the sand through Vincent's hand was Gough Whitlam the Labor Prime Minister from 1972 to 1975. Whitlam didnt last long but brought a lot of change to Australia through Indigenous issues, Single Parents pensions, free university education, the Arts and much more.

[@lbd-po7cl]

Plus universal healthcare, no fault divorce, the Family Court, the first Ministry for the Environment, etc, etc….

[@garrysalis4312]

Yeah he changed the future of the Country for the better.

[@kcrot2566]

Gough was amazing

[@tomfrombrunswick7571]

@@kcrot2566 one of life’s ironies is that the two best speeches at his condolence in parliament were Tony Abbot and Malcom Turnbull. Not necessarily fans but they realised he transformed the country

[@doctorcrusher2918]

Unfortunately, Whitlam was a bad judge of character and some of his own ministers brought him down 😞 Malcom Fraser continued Whitlam legacies. If Whitlam wasn’t sacked, he would have been our greatest PM!

[@bigs1546]

Just to make sure you realise how big this was, almost all of the Wave Station workers were Aboriginal and they were not really paid - just basically food and board - it was originally their land before 'white man' - so Vincent Lingiari led a walk-off and every Aboriginal worker stockmen [think American cowboys], house servants, cooks, and all their families walked off the job and basically held a sit - in. From that small action of the Gurindji People, Aboriginal Rights came to the forefront in Australian politics and it is still being fought - most Australians reckon it's time Aboriginals have a proper voice in our Parliament - we might finally get some parity for our original inhabitants.

[@MertAus]

Fantastic, thank you so much for this information. It is so interesting

[@lbd-po7cl]

An Aboriginal singer songwriter, whose first album Paul Kelly produced, and who you must listen to, is the late Archie Roach. A survivor of the Stolen Generation, his debut single Took the Children Away is a powerful testament about the tragic legacy of the forced removal of Aboriginal children from their families, but also an inspiring story of survival and courage. Uncle Archie was a huge influence on Australian society, and was honored with a state memorial service after his death earlier this year.

[@nancyharvey7969]

Absolutely! This song is evocative of that time in Australia’s history. Paul Kelly is a master storyteller. I have to mention though that the Stolen Generation was not just about the Indigenous peoples being forced to give up their children. There were lots of Caucasian children also stolen from their mothers during this horrible time in Australian history! This is deeply personal to me as I am a product of this scandalous issue. So many single, unwed mothers (or other women without means) were forced to give up their children during the ‘50’s, 60’s and 70’s. It didn’t matter to the Australian government if those children were Australian citizens or not (I.e. in our families case.. my mother was a young widow and the 3 eldest children were actually UK citizens). My grandfather (in England) tried to get my brothers back (all 3 born in England and taken at ages 7, 5 & 2) but the Australian government would not allow them to be sent back to England to my grandfather’s care, All 3 were separated and put into foster care with 3 different families. My sister was born in Australia and (taken at around 8 months old) and fostered out. All because my mother (UK citizen) was in hospital in Australia with a severe illness….so much for “temporary” foster care! She never got them back despite many years of trying and she was also forced to give me up for adoption when I was born a couple of years later (due to the other children being in care) and whilst she was fighting to get the others back. This happened during the late’60’s/early 70’s. Our family is extremely lucky as we have all happily reconnected, but a lot of the Indigenous families and others have never gotten that chance.

[@lbd-po7cl]

@@nancyharvey7969 So sorry to hear you’ve been a victim of those awful policies and practices, but glad you’ve been able to reconnect with your family. While I always feel there’s much to be proud of as an Australian, I’m equally aware there is much to be ashamed of. All the best for you and your family.

@@clintonburr852 And the didge was actually a cardboard roll. From Paul Kelly's book: "We invited Ernie Dingo to play didgeridoo. Ernie, actor and TV presenter, is a Yamatji man from Western Australia. He didn’t have a didge in the right key so he asked his neighbour, a seamstress, for some cardboard tubes. She had a whole stack that had held cloth, six of which he brought into the studio. None of them was exactly the right note but we found one that was close and cut it a couple of times with a Stanley knife until it matched the song key. The tube was probably a few months old. On the record it sounds thirty thousand years ancient."

Paul Kelly is a poet. IMO he's Australia's version of Bob Dylan. Dylan won the Nobel Prize for literature. Paul Kelly deserves an Australian award for his songs / poetry Paul's song Bradman is a biography of Bradman's cricket career. Many of his osngs are stories e.g Winter Coat & From St Kilda to Kings Cross

Deeper Water is such a great song but he has so many. The first time I saw him was at the Kensy Pub, Kensington, Adelaide in about 1977. I was too stoned to know how brilliant he was at the time.

G’day mate, Paul Kelly is a national treasure and has worked with many indigenous people, very humble musically honest and a great wordsmith 🎼🎶

Love to hear that. I can't wait to hear more of his stuff and find out more about him

[@FionaEm]

Yep, Kelly is a master songwriter! To Her Door is another one you might want to check out. A different type of song again, but the same great storytelling. The "tall stranger" pictured with Vincent Lingiari is Prime Minister Gough Whitlam, who led our first socially progessive govt in years 🙂 Sadly, his govt was rife with corruption, couldn't get its budget thru the Senate and - controversially - was sacked by the Governor-General in 1975. The GG was the Queen's rep in Australia. The intervention of the Crown in terminating an elected govt (known as 'The Dismissal') was a huge event in Australian political history. There are probably vids if you want to check them out.

My g-g-g-g-great uncle Nathaniel Buchanan established Wave Hill station. He was apparently quite good to the indigenous people - which in 19th century terms, I suppose, simply means he didn't shoot them on sight - and was of course long gone before the events in this story took place, but I have a strong desire to visit Wave Hill someday and express my own "sorry" directly to the people there.

[@MertAus]

This was really great piece of writing from Paul Kelly. People told me that he is a great story teller and this was a perfect example of this. I am really interested to learn more about Aboriginal Australians and their history. Please recommend some other videos for me to watch about this? Thanks

The Gurindji walkout was the beginning of the Land rights movement. I have family that currently manage Wave Hill Station. Vesty hasn't had the lease for a very long time. The land has been divided into 2 parts - the pastoral lease in 1 part and an Aboriginal community in the other part. I have worked in native title for the last 12 years and I have been trying to get there for a visit because of the history. Fingers crossed I will get there eventually.

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

To the original australian, nobody owned any land. The whole tribe as individuals, Belong to their country, their place of birth. The whole country was divided up between the tribes. The commonweath government made up and passed a law to extinguish native title. Took a lot of children to missions, to teach them white ways. A lot were adopted, not allowed to know where they were from or learn their own language. That was disgusting enough, but they were trained as servants, the boys were sent to stations, the owners were allowed to keep most of the workers wages, because they were seen as not so bright, like children, so they thought it was okay even good to rip them all off. More recently the courts gave a token amount back to the ones who were still alive and went to court. Still shameful.

[@doctorcrusher2918]

Yes. And we also understand they are clans, not tribes (that’s Africa); they are not one people but many with different traditions, languages and creation stories. They are the oldest living culture in the world with carbon dated artefacts of 100,000 years. Ironically we now teach our children the importance of the environment, yet they’ve know this forever.

[@mals4125]

You must do Kev Carmody. Kev Carmody (the co-writer of the song) has an amazing life story and journey to music. He was a stockman who grew up hard, didn't record his debut album until into his 40's. He is one of the truly great songwriters and activist for indigenous rights. His first single 'Thou Shalt not Steal' is a just a spine-tingling song , with a catalogue of just beautiful stories and 'Droving Woman' is a love song that will break your heart. Trust me you will not be disappointed.

How to Make Gravy makes me cry every single time - and I am well acquainted with Paul Kelly's music being Australian and loving music in general. To me he is THE MASTER iof lyrical writing - he writes about things that seem simple on the surface but really delve human emotions in depth. The greatest storyteller of all I know. Listen to 'To Her Door' - which is also one of his seemingly simple songs that make you cry and are put together just right, He is a musician and wordsmith and seeing the reaction videos makes me smile. You don't need studio engineers, autotune, over the top video directing or any other tricks - just his everday man voice telling every day stories with a guitar to override most musicians out there. He is one of my favourite Australians and musicians.

They weren't allowed to vote until 1967, weren't considered in any part of the census, or voting electorates. The more I read into it, the more disgusted I am. So Vincent's achievement, considering his huge adversities, achieved a lot for his people.
