Stephen Langford born in New Zealand-Aotearoa but in reality I am a recovering Pom. I did go to Leeds University and lived with people from all over the world and somehow came out with a degree. Don’t ask me how! I came to Australia on the strength of my NZ passport and have mostly been a nurse. I take my hat off to all the overseas nurses who keep the hospitals and nursing homes running. I have been most involved in the E Timor campaign… Australian major political parties supported the illegal invasion and occupation until nearly the bitter end. In the end, we won. Inspired by the Timorese resistance, we all won. Since then I have been involved in trying to stop Australia’s racist trashing of the UN Refugee Convention, and freeing Assange. I am a Socialist Alliance member. I have two lovely children and an even lovelier grandchild! I am 65 and retired from paid work… Gott sei dank! as my late father might have said before he learned English.
