Living with Waltzing Matilda 'If we have a malaise, I think we can trace most of our industrial attitudes back to the English' - so says David Hill , a Barnardo's boy from Eastbourne, who came to
Australia on the Big Brother scheme for underprivileged children, became head of the New South Wales railway and now manages the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
George Campbell admits that he's known as a 'pommy stirrer'. George holds a senior position in Australia's most militant union, the Metalworkers. He brings the Belfast waterfront into the living rooms of Australia. Film editor Liz THOYTS
