This video containing material of historical interest has been uploaded for purposes of scholarship and research. It was broadcast in Australia by Channel Nine's "60 Minutes" on 19 April 1983 during a national strike in the shearing industry, making clear the intensity of feelings on both sides.

Fuck the unions
Terrible camera work, Should have had a Kiwi using the wide comb, probably shair 2or 3 while those two were talking 😊
Good old fashioned union protectionism. 🙄 Don't wide combs dominate now? 🤔 Luddites. 🙄
Watching this in 2024 as an X shearer. It’s funny now wool is worth stuff all except gd Merino fine wool.
I'm using 98mm wide combs the sheep are now huge.
This is crazy but each side beleived in it
An Australian team led by Kevin Saare first attended the Golden Shears in 1961.
Good old ausies,kicking one of their own industries, manufacturing,wonder if the Aus company's who made the wide combs were union members,would the sharing union have kicked up a stink, Would love to know,who was the First Ausie to cross the ditch for the golden sheers
Once chicken shit always chicken shit. Unions included.dirty deeds done dirt cheep.narrow combs for narrow minds. .
How many packs of cigarettes is 36AUD a day back then, now?
Whats your point?
@shaun469 in terms of economics, with cigarettes+beer+sugar+butter(etc), my "point" is regarding standards of normal "rations" (standard commodities rations, witch is millenia-long-accepted standard) [globally accepted] ratios to standard staples [universally accepted].
@@meljane8339 cigarettes and alcohol are taxed outside of normal inflation. Probably not a good baseline.
@shaun469 it's a historic baseline, though. ...
@@meljane8339 historic yes. Relevant today? No
I'm 74yo and the scabs are the union scumbags. Well done whitie ,you're and innovator.
The unions are the downfall of the country.
What a bunch of idiots the unions were. I shore all through this and to this day all the clowns causing the the trouble are or were using wide combs in the end..😂😂😂 wankers
No Union. Confederacy Forever!!!
someone is confused
Here from the Adam Friedland show
The stupid unions were stubborn. The fact that you could earn a lot more shearing with a wide comb.
So how stupid people are. You can shear more sheep with a wide comb. All that other stuff was rubbish. I’m an extra shearer and most were stupid old coots.
If a man could shear more sheep and make more money with a wider comb, then why wouldn’t the union just let all the other shearers do the same thing? You know, like normal reasonable people would, in every other workplace? Instead of trying to kill someone over a few fucking millimeters, like these rock-apes did? Together with their union organisers, old Irish boofheads with flat noses and thick ears…to hell with them.
Good to see unions haven’t changed.. the real scabs!!
Click goes the shears 😜🤣..Now what using wide combs lol..
An extra inch matters
Robots have been shearing sheep since shearing was a thing. Us shearers are the robots!
An nothing changed up until 2020. Thank you covid for doing what the unions couldn't do for us shearers
What a disgrace by these thugs. Good on ya Bob, your a legend!!
Was silly if they turned the wide comb over ...it was made in Australia
These anti wide comb blokes talking the biggest load of sh!t iv ever heard
Love Steve Roachs work.
08:02 is that Village People?
I remember my uncles talking about this when they came back to New Zealand. Was there a racial overtone to this? My uncles were all big Maoris and they would laugh about fights they would get in.
Good
The union look like a bunch of thugs
25% of shearers were losing their jobs .>>> only way they could have solved this dispute is to have quotas of 150 sheep per day some of the gun shearers could take 400 sheep in a day.>>>
Lol ozzies narrow minded😂
All that over a Wide Comb ffs 😅😅🤙🏽🤙🏽🤪 grow up ..fk the unions ..Moan asses
Those sheep are good girls cute sheep nice 👍 videos do you want to watch mine
♥.♥ 19:28 What exactly happened here?
Yea Nah Yea hilarious whinging over a wide comb
No one gets it, it wasnt about shearing, it was about keeping the kiwis iout of Australia.Wide combs are heaps better to shear with and you make more money but the shearing industry is a frigging mess now. Anyone who learnt on wide combs finds it very difficult to shear with narrow gear, thats what kept the new zealanders out of the australian industry. Since wide gear came in the industry has gone to shit. Poor facilities, terrible toilets, unliveale huts and no union. I shear with wide combs but this strike ruined the industry. WE should have just adopted the wide gear like they did in Queensland and found other ways to keep the kiwi scabls out.
Why do you call the Kiwis "Scabs"? They are not to blame for your current working conditions plus there were not enough Australian shearers at that time do do the work load. I was hitch-hiking at that time around the Coastal Highway and several times was told to say nothing in a local pub as there has been brutal fights between the Kiwis and Australians over the wide comb in that town. Most people that gave me a lift told me that many station owners preferred the Kiwi shearers over the Australian as they worked harder, did not work to the clock and so did not leave sheep in the yards over the weekend when an extra hour or two would have finished the work. The biggest irony is that the wide comb the Kiwis used was made in Australia.
@Andrew Murphy One of the few commenters with a brain. Thanks.
Note" no one remembers the AWU bloke with the fancy suit and nice car. ....
@@trackdusty What a bunch of nonsense. Kiwi's go over and show you fullas a better way of shearing and you complain. Useless bastards
How tha fuck are Kiwi's to blame for shit huts and toilets on Aussie farms?
FUC they were ignorant in those days
Shudder to imagine how these blokes would have treated the aboriginal community.
BS. The AWU did a lot for working aborigines. I knew a couple who organised aboriginal labor in the cotton industry.
@@trackdusty such as?
@@flanno That's private, idiot.
@@flanno Who do you think mustered the flocks? as an example. I never met an aboriginal shearer but I knew a lot employed on the huge cotton farms such as Cubby Station and they were taking home big money.
Yep, and whats being used today? Plus the fucking Union. Either god sent or a bloody pest.
I Could use an extra inch
The difference ? easier work and less shearers required over the long haul that means less members( well less $$$) going to the union..bunch of grubs.
wow haha what a silly situation
Royal Prophet//Seer- Sean O'Dwyer- 140 Hobson Street. Auckland City. 1010. new zealand. South pacific.''
they would rather us work harder ... now look wider the better now days fukn useless cunts just wasnt cut out to be shearers
2020 and they still haven't replaced shearers with robot.
Those sheep are good girls cute sheep nice do you want to watch mine happy 😊 new year 🧧 🧧
While the union has fought for decent working conditions and wages, nothing justifies violence especially like this
I agree with that but these coward scabs can make your blood boil.
Can't believe the cop laughed about it!
@@paulcoffey359 He wasn't put out back because he was a bright spark.
The game has changed since the strike for the better if you ask me
Thank god those communist fools are all gone
