Paul’s brother Tony Stewart was killed by the invading Indonesian military in Balibo when he was only a young journalist. He was 21. Paul first became famous as a member of the Painters and Dockers a popular Melbourne band. Later he became a founding member of the Dili Allstars who kept the music going in the independence movement in Australia. I first saw the Dili’s play at the launch of the Friends of Suai next to Luna Park in March 2000 and this photograph is taken from that video. You will find music from the Dili Allstars throughout suaimediaspace. Paul lived in Pt Phillip for a long time. We will bring you more about Paul in the future.
