“Fair go,” a phrase used to mean that everyone and everything is deserving of a reasonable chance. First recorded in the Brisbane Courier in 1891 when striking sheep shearers were arrested without having their warrants read to them first and demanded of their manager, “Do you call this a fair go?” The strike was one of the earliest and most important in the country’s history, spurring the birth of the Australian Labor Party and the perception of Australia as an egalitarian society, where fairness, good sportsmanship, and a positive outlook are prized.
