Hello Matthew, yes of course I remember Nadine Jensen. I don't know too much about her.I

met her through some group to do with young humanists .Was it the late sixties. Anyway I formulated the plan about the pot of paint, i mixed the paint and gave it to her just before the soldiers came abreast with the town hall. i arranged Bill Dwyer's anarchists to create a diversion so she could do her act..i also told the media to be on the alert and told one  of them to direct his news camera onto her. it was a total success. The police grabbed her and put her in i think callan park mental institution. i visited her there but she was lukewarm to me because she had found another interest, a Dutchman in the mixed ward. The word was out that the police were after me, but they did not to my knowledge find out my name. i was simply known as the canadian.

bill dwyer went crazy from l.s. d and at one stage accused me of being a fink and attacked me. 

I laid him low with a kick to the stomach, though I liked Bill very much. In later years I came across him again in Hyde Park speakers' corner London. I read he was killed while on a bicycle in Ireland.

 Nadine had a problem in that she saw things, that looked very real to her. She never contacted me again after asylum and I often wondered about her. We took a trip down Cambpeltown way once or somewhere around there and she introduced me to her mum or anyway a female relative. I remember there was a cocky in a small cage which 

 thought was constricting but Nadine said it was her cocky and that he liked it in there. I imagined that the cocky symbolised me if I married her.

Thanks for your interest. sorry about your father Howard. I can't remember him, but if you scan and email a photo I might remember him.Tell me more about yourself. Was nadine your mother and am I any any way involved? I would like to keep in touch because I have three sons who do not contact me hardly at all and also two daughters...same thing. 'Ric Williams.

P.S. Nadine did a very great service to help stop the Vietnam War and to bring the Aussie soldiers home. The story hit the headlines all around the world and although I thought it up, it could never have been carried out without Nadine.
