NT Deputy Secretary, Jason Murphy, remembering our maritime workers who died in the bombing of Darwin 84 years ago at today’s memorial service.

“….Maritime workers did not have trenches or foxholes. They had decks, wharves, and engine rooms. They did not carry rifles. They carried cargo, fuel, ammunition, food, and supplies — the lifeblood of a nation at war. Yet they faced the same danger, and in Darwin, they paid the same price.”

“...Without maritime workers, there is no supply line. Without Ports, there is no defence. Without seafarers and wharfies, there is no Nation capable of standing in war, or peace. Darwin proved that beyond doubt.”

“Today, as we stand on this wharf, or remember it from afar, we honour those who never came home — the sailors who went down with their ships, the wharfies killed at their posts, the engineers trapped below decks, and the maritime families who bore the loss in silence.”

“The bombing of Darwin reminds us that war does not only claim soldiers. It claims workers. It claims civilians. And right here, it claimed maritime workers who stood their ground at the water’s edge when the war came to our shore.”

“May we remember them.”
“May we honour their service.”
“And may we never forget that the sea, and those who work upon it, have always carried the weight of this Nation.”
“Lest we Forget”

We sincerely thank David Power, General Manager of Operations at Darwin Port, for his speech, Brian Manning Jnr for the Last Post, and the staff at Royal Flying Doctors Service who kindly opened their doors to our attendees this morning. Please, if you are ever on Stokes Hill wharf, make this a must see for young and old. Their exhibits are extremely informative, fully interactive and respectfully beautiful.

MUA Assistant National Secretary and former NT Branch Secretary Thomas Mayo told Mix 104.9 that the pepper spray trial underway in the Territory is likely to add more violence and provide more weapons within the community. This will mean more weapons in the hands of DV perpetrators. The best way to reduce crime is through alleviating poverty and improving mental health and community engagement.

Indigenous justice advocate, Thomas Mayo says introducing more weapons like OC spray into the community increases the chance of violence...
