Profile - Joe McGuiness

Abstract

THE MASSIVE, greying, mild-mannered Joe McGuiness of today, who so dislikes to talk about himself, doesn’t admit to any deliberate militancy in youth. He implies that he merely dealt, as they came, with the problems common to most workers who battled up through the depression years. But an Aborigine asserting his independence in a northern, white-dominated community of that time must have been endowed with exceptional qualities.
