The Progressive Labour Party proudly announces the candidature in the seat of Northcote in the State Elections on 18 September. Candidate Susanna Duffy, life long activist, is standing as an independent endorsed by the PLP. She understands that the people of Northcote would not support the Coalition parties but urges that a message be sent to the Labour Party. "I can read the news too," said Duffy referring to her weekly programme on Community Radio 3CR. "and that would make me eligible to stand for the ALP but we actually have policies in the Progressive Labour Party and we don't want to tax footy tipping." The PLP is totally opposed to the "self-governing schools" and massive subsidies to private colleges. Class sizes must be lowered with the immediate employment of permanent teachers. Susanna and the PLP oppose the attacks on our health system, our hospital sell-offs, destruction of community health centres and legal centres and the privatisation of our former public transport. "A vote for the Labor Party is not a vote for the alternative." said Duffy, " most of the corporisation and privatisation in schools, health and transport was initiated by the ALP." Duffy challenges the sitting member and Jeff Kennett to take a trip on the city-link transurban tram service up High Street and meet the electorate. The Greens and the Australian Women's Party also endorse Susanna's nomination.
