The Socialist Alliance had an excellent 70-strong anti-GST rally outside
the Liberal offices in Wantirna South on Saturday.
Part of a national day of protest called by the SA, the rally was covered
on 7, 9, 10, ABC radio, 3CR and by the Sunday Herald Sun.
Now we're in the final stretch and there are a few key dates to come--we'd
love your help:
Saturday, July 7. Aston branch members and supporters (including all those
from the eastern and south-eastern suburbs) will be campaigning at Mountain
Gate shopping centre from 10am.
SA members and supporters from the north and west will be campaigning at
Stud Park shopping centre from 11am.
There will also be a team heading for Bayswater shopping centre for 11am.
Sunday, July 8. Peter Garrett is speaking at an environmental forum at Knox
Civic Centre, 511 Burwood Hway, Wantirna South, at 2pm. We will be
leafleting from 1.30pm.
Saturday, July 14. THE BIG ONE. We are aiming to cover all 32 polling
booths with how-to-vote cards. This will be organised primarily through the
various SA branches.
But if you are not sure about which branch you are in, or if you are not a
member of any branch, contact me directly on 0418 316 310 or at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and I will allocate you to a booth team.
Every member and supporter should make a big effort for this day. We have
campaigned very hard: at Wantirna TAFE, on the picket line at Johnson Tiles
and at Amcor, on the shop floor at Creeks Metals, and in every significant
shopping centre. We've letterboxed about 80 per cent of the electorate (so
far) and got substantial local media coverage, especially given that there
are 15 candidates!
But, to paraphrase Billy Bragg, it all amounts to nothing if together at
the polling booths we don't stand.
Following the vote, there will be a party at 19 Eton Squ, Wantirna.
Fingerfood provided, plates welcome, no BYO.
If you have any queries, please contact me,

SA Aston by-election campaign manager
