CABTA
Citizens All Black Tour Association (CABTA) was formed in September 1959 “to combat racial discrimination in the selection of the 1960 rugby team to tour South Africa…”
The Communist Party of New Zealand was not just part of the mix, it was the driving force behind the campaign.
At least six members of the Auckland CABTA executive were CPNZ members or sympathisers and in Wellington, comrades Paul Potiki, Chip Bailey and a young Ken Douglas did much of the donkey work.
In fact, it was the CABTA campaign which convinced Ken Douglas to actually commit himself to the Party.
