Jack Mundey
Jack Mundey (born 17 October 1929 in Malanda, Queensland〔
〕) is an Australian union and environmental activist. He came to prominence during the 1970s for leading the New South Wales Builders' Labourers Federation (BLF) in the famous Green Bans, whereby the BLF led a successful campaign to protect the built and natural environment of Sydney from excessive and inappropriate development. Mundey is now Chair of the Historic Houses Trust of New South Wales.
==Early years==
Mundey was born on 17 October 1929 in Malanda 100 km west of Cairns on the Atherton Tableland in far north Queensland and one of five children. His mother died when he was six. He was educated at Malanda Primary School and St. Augustine's Cairns from which he ran away, due to their 'authoritarian methods' of discipline. Mundey moved to Sydney in the early 1950s when he was 19 and became a metalworker and later builder's labourer joining successively the Federated Ironworkers' Association and Builders Labourers Federation. In that time he also played rugby league for Parramatta under coach Vic Hey for three years. He joined the Communist Party of Australia in 1957.
During the 1960s Mundey was a crusading unionist, an advocate in a wide range of issues, from safety reforms on building sites to wider social issues, such as feminism, gay rights, and the impact of international politics. Mundey considered all of these matters appropriate targets for union activism. His second wife Judy joined him in these campaigns and later rose to national president of the CPA.
