(A reminder that this is on tomorrow)
One of the most important aspects of Australia; that distinguishes us from every other country in the region (except New Zealand) is our highly developed industrial relations system. But the Conservatives want to make Australia a plutocracy; this is, they want to create a system where money is the most important factor in our democratic structuring. ie. if you don’t have the social advantage of family money, then you won’t be able to succeed socially and even politically. Let’s hope that this one group of Australians don’t bugger it up for everyone. Time to kick the Conservatives out and let’s start thinking about the future of the country, and not just the future of one group who can’t see beyond themselves. Let’s put the equality of work back into the main stream as a social value, rather than self-interested, private pursuits. Let’s break the back if the Sydney business consevatives (rather than our workers); and let some other cities and groups have a say in how we are governed before it ends in tears! See you at the MCG.
Melbourne: fill the MCG!
The main Victorian community protest will take place on ‘People’s Ground,’ the Melbourne Cricket Ground, on Thursday November 30.
It will take place from 8am to 10am Melbourne-time, and will be broadcast by satellite to capital cities and more than three hundred regional centres across Australia. (link)
