Obituary - William Murray (Bill) Nulty (2024)
Summary
The late Mr. Nultys activities as a union leader in the days of the great industrial struggles on the mining fields of Broken Hill, gained him prominence throughout Australia. In this capacity he had his first experience of industrial war, and in the great shearers strike in 1894, he was arrested in the Broken Hill district on a charge of having attempted to stop a man following his lawful occupation. Arthur Griffith, M.L.A., after whom our neighboring town was named, and who at that time was Minister for Works, was the message which brought the late Mr. Nulty to these areas; he arrived at Yanco on January 4, 1912.
