[Pericles' Ovation for the Peloponnesian War Dead](http://www.thelatinlibrary.com/imperialism/readings/thucydides2.html). The Painters & Dockers Union was formed in 1900 to protect the interests of workers in the maritime group of industries, in 1993 the union was deregistered under S 193 of The Australian Industrial Relations Act, which requires unions with less than 10,000 members to convince the Industrial Commission that special circumstances exist that justify their continued registration. The fact that this union is the cultural and economic heritage of generations of Australians, was not deemed a special circumstance by the industrial commissioner, while the campaign waged within the organization to increase membership was met with thuggery, violence and murder.
