Five minutes with the Queen
What happened when a non-royalist was invited to photograph QEII for the golden jubilee I am not a royalist I am not a royalist I am not a royalist. I'm from Irish stock. Rumour has it we're related to the Kelly family. My father – a communist, then socialist, then a member of the Labor Party – was raised in poverty in North Melbourne. We wore our 'It's Time' T-shirts and campaigned for Gough Whitlam. We learnt about the injustices of the ruling class and the colonialists towards the rightful owners of Australian land.
