Hobart Waterfront Intimidation Cases Reach Court
Witness Colraine testified on the Hobart waterfront intimidation actions against the Hursey family and 14 Water side Workers Federation members. He described a car attempt to run him and his daughter down near Tidderive, a freezing chamber incident on the Hertford, and other assaults while collecting at Princes What. The case seeks restraints and damages, tied to a 1956 ALP funding dispute and ongoing tensions on the waterfront.
