Newsworthy

In 1853 John Owens spoke to the diggers at Beechworth:

Do you know what the word representation means? Of course you do! It means that of those who by wealth, or station, or authority, are placed over you, do wrong, you have the power of compelling them to do right. At present you have no such power ... This should not be. [1]
