John Butler Trio calls for justice

Saturday, August 25, 2007 - 10:00

John Butler Trio, on a new national tour, continues to sing and speak out for peace and justice. On August 10 at far-north Queensland's Kuranda Amphitheatre, John Butler called for justice for Mulrunji Doomadgee, who was killed by a police officer in the watchhouse doorway on Palm Island. Butler donned one of the "Justice For Mulrunji" wristbands presented to the band by Green Left Weekly supporters.

The tour's gigs all feature progressive political stalls, including from the Wilderness Society and Oxfam's Close the Gap campaign for Indigenous health. The tour finishes with gigs in Alice Springs, Darwin and Perth.
