A remarkable life

SYDNEY — "The Dom", an exhibition at the Liverpool Regional Museum, explores the political passions of Dominic Syme. Syme was a chicken farmer, Communist Party member and a Liverpool City Councillor. He was immersed in an intense period of political controversy, including the fight against the Vietnam War, the sacking of the Whitlam Labor government and local environment battles. Photographer Mervyn Bishop has documented Syme's political life and has built a portrait of a remarkable life. The exhibition runs until August 28. The Liverpool Regional Museum is on the corner of Hume Highway and Congressional Drive, Liverpool.
