Hiya All :-)



Hope everyone has been keeping well.



I have just received the exciting news that starting next Monday in Cairns (22nd

June) there will be a series of meetings and rallies culminating in a Brissy

Rally on the 3rd of July. Below is further information. I hope these events

receive high attendance numbers. Please feel free to share this information with

networks, Facebook friends, via Twitter or via any means you can think of.

Privatisation = Theft.

I will be attending the Bundaberg meeting (carrying my trusty old Greens flag).

Further details can be provided can be provided via the Facebook Groups

Warm regards

Anne

Note from Simmo (ETU):

ETU’s “Light on the Hill” campaign

against privatisation of State Govt assets starts this week

Putting labour values back into Labor

The Electrical Trades Union’s (ETU) Statewide campaign against the privatisation

of State Government assets will commence this week.

The Light on the Hill campaign will include workplace meetings, rallies, public

meetings in regional cities, radio and newspaper advertising and literature

drops.

The advertising starts in north Queensland this Thursday, with the first public

events being held in Cairns next Monday, 22 June. The campaign will then work

its way down the coast over the next two weeks with a major rally scheduled for

Brisbane on Friday July 3.

Today’s ETU announcement coincides with the unveiling of the State Government’s

2009-10 budget, which is expected to include proceeds from the sale of a number

of State Government corporations including most of Queensland Rail.

ETU secretary, Peter Simpson, said the campaign is about stopping this fire sale

of State Government assets and putting labour values back into the Labor Party.

“ETU members strongly oppose the sale of public assets such as Queensland Rail

and the port authorities. We are far from convinced that selling off important

public assets is a sensible long-term response to these short-term economic

difficulties.

“We also believe that if the State Government gets away with this then things

such as electricity and water will be next. That would be an even bigger

disaster for the people of Queensland,” Mr Simpson said.

Ongoing Light on the Hill campaign details will be released ahead of each event.
