In 1985 Sue was Musician in Residence with South Coast Labour Council which involved community engagement in the face of the widespread upset at BHP’s discrimination against women workers. Sue’s feminist cultural work in the arts makes clear bold statements that inspire other women to action to improve the status of women.
