Publishers Description: Ian Cohen came to international attention in 1986 when he was photographed hanging onto the bow of a US nuclear-armed warship entering Sydney Harbour in protest against the nuclear arms race. In Green Fire, Cohen, the first Green member of the NSW Parliament, looks back over sixteen years of radical environmentalism. Cohen tells it as it was on the ground, at protests such as the 1982 Nightcap Forest campaign, the Franklin River blockade, Roxby Downs uranium mine protests, Daintree, the Chaeundi old growth forest campaign in northern NSW and the campaign to end French nuclear testing in the South Pacific.Green Fire is a gripping, powerful and insightful account of the Australian environmental protest movement, a moment which has transformed Australian politics.
