Damn Demons Land - Kev Bailey's cartoon history of Tasmania's Hydro power debate, from Pedder to the Franklin | 1982 [USED – SC]

A cartoon history of Tasmania's great power debate, by Kev Bailey — staff political cartoonist for the Mercury for 25 years, succeeding Jeff Hook, and separately a Tasmanian Football Hall of Fame inductee for his decades of AFL/TFL grand final cartoons. Published in 1982, at the height of the Franklin Dam controversy and less than a decade after the flooding of Lake Pedder, this book captures the era's fierce public argument over the Hydro-Electric Commission's dominance of Tasmanian politics and its dam-building ambitions through Bailey's satirical eye.
