Description:


This is the story of how an ordinary bloke from the bush became the key figure in a movement that would change the shape of our cities and bring about lasting political and legal reform. This is the story of the house that Jack Mundey built.


Without the green bans movement of the 1970s, Sydney and many other cities would look very different. Pulling together an unlikely alliance of environmentalists and union players earned Jack Mundey a reputation as both the 'best-known unionist and best-known conservationist in Australia'.


Under his leadership, the movement fought against the slash-and-burn philosophy that almost saw The Rocks fitted out with high-rise buildings, a highway through the centre of Glebe and total development of Centennial Park. In this long-awaited book James Colman reflects on Jack's remarkable life and his ongoing legacy. Mundey overturned the bulldozer mentality of the 1960s and 1970s andhelped to persuade Australians everywhere to cherish and protect the hertitage of special buildings, places and sites.

Great monitor
Style: FHD 240Hz, Size: 27-inch
Quality is great. Super bright. I did buy a different mount but the original mount is good as is. The curve is nice and immersive. My games look so much better than before.

Overall a good buy.
Style: FHD 240Hz, Size: 27-inch
Got this for $150 on sale. The screen appears good and no dead pixels. I will say the speakers are not great and sound muffled (reason behind 4 stars). It seems to be a solid built monitor though and so far has worked great for my uses. Comes with included HDMI cable as well, that always helps!

Dont walk, run! (To your cart with this)
Style: FHD 240Hz, Size: 27-inch
Got this for my son for Christmas and he loves it. Big screen! The sound capability is nice for those who don't have speakers, but he usually uses a headset. Being able to adjust the height and angle is great. Color is vibrant and crystal clear. Awesome for gaming and making sure he can see clear is important, quality is as good, if not better than expected and really no need to adjust brightness as it is perfect as is.

Great monitor great price
Style: FHD 240Hz, Size: 27-inch
Looks very clear and feels very sturdy. Bought two for work and looks amazing and clear. Connects very ez and quickly. Only issue and doesn’t have to do with the monitor, is that the power cable and HDMI included are but short for my liking think it’s like 3-4 ft
