Today in Labor History May 19, 1950: 31 dockworkers died and 350 were injured when four barges carrying 420 tons of ammunition blew up at South Amboy, New Jersey. The blast destroyed nearby businesses and homes and caused $10 million in property damage. The men were loading anti-tank and anti-personnel mines destined for Pakistan and Afghanistan. Three years later, they unearthed sixty-two live mines scattered throughout the waterfront area. Kilgore Manufacturing Company was later charged with 9,000 counts of munitions violations. The indictment documents weighed thirty pounds. The Coast Guard was also cited with negligence in supervising the loading.

Damage from the South Amboy munitions explosion.

Adam Bandt:

“I congratulate the prime minister on his campaign and the strong position that they have got in government at the moment but what it means is that, with the Greens in sole balance of power in the #Senate at the moment, the government can’t blame other individual senators for not being able to get things through.

The only barrier to getting #dental into #Medicare now and passing it through the parliament is #labor.

The only obstacle to making #childcare #free is Labor.

The only obstacle to stopping new #coal and #gas #mines from being opened is Labor. We stand ready in the Senate to make this the most progressive parliament that Australia has seen.”

A photo of three books standing on a small, brown, wooden table. On the left, standing up, The Great Comet Crash, showing a picture of Jupiter taken with a telescope. In the middle, lying down, Upheaval from the Abyss, showing a marine blue spine with silver lettering (the dust jacket is missing). On the right, standing up, Mass Destruction, showing an golden/honey coloured aerial photo of an open-pit mine. The out-of-focus background shows black shelves full of books and part of the beech-coloured laminate floor.
