Making Change Happen is a collection of 45 interviews by Kevin Cook with black and white campaigners about how people get ideas and make them happen. Kevin Cook, nicknamed “Cookie”, couldn’t be there due to his state of health.
A ceremony orchestrated by Barbara Flick, an Aboriginal campaigner, paid tribute to Cookie’s life.
Several people delivered speeches. Among them, Linda Burney, Deputy Leader of the NSW Opposition and Indigenous Activist, and Paddy Crumlin, National Secretary of the Maritime Union of Australia and President, International Transport Workers Federation.
At the end of the ceremony, Heather Goodall was very moved and concluded her speech by saying: “Cookie is the hero of my children, the hero of our children, the hero of the future.”
