Len Fox

He took up painting, producing an array of left-wing propagandist posters, and covers for his many booklets, such as Australia's Guilty Men, a 32-page diatribe against (inter alia) Prime Minister Robert Menzies for his dealings with Axis countries in the early days of WWII[2] When the State Labor Party collapsed in 1944, he took up with The Tribune where he worked from 1946 to 1955,[1][3] and in which he first wrote defending refugees and Jews against prejudice[4] In 1955 he married Mona Brand, a fellow Communist and idealist, who was to become a respected playwright.

[1] In 1956, Fox was a co-founder of the Indigenous rights organisation the Aboriginal-Australian Fellowship, along with Pearl Gibbs, Charles Leon, Ray Peckham, Bert Groves, Grace Bardsley, Faith Bandler, and Jack Horner.

[5][6] Fox and Brand's home for the next 50 years was a modest terrace house in Little Surrey Street, near Kings Cross,[7] in an era when the area was not fashionable.

He entered into correspondence with the family of Private John King, the art gallery, and Ballarat local historian Nathan Spielvogel.

[10] Perhaps due to interest generated by Fox's publication, the main Eureka flag remnants were transferred to a safe at the art gallery later in 1963.
