Letters to the Editor Julian Online
Firstly, I would like to congratulate and thank all the people responsible for contributing to and publishing Workers Online. It has quickly become my conviction that those Australians who don't read it (i.e. most) will never understand the important issues that are continually reshaping our society. As a member of the Labor party residing in the third safest Federal Liberal seat in Australia (Bradfield) it is of course impossible to get a proper cross section of views from my immediate neighbours. However I do my little bit by publishing a modest website www.julianchancock.com in which I try to reveal as much as possible of what is really going on in this, the lucky country, and to provoke people into looking beneath the superficiality and bias of the mainstream media. Currently I am concerned that Simon Crean, while I think he has done an excellent job in ensuring public awareness of the fraudulent behaviour of the Howard Government, might push the Labor Party into eternal oblivion if he continues to pursue his current policy of weakening the Trade Unions' role in the party. Already some unions have cut off their support for the Labor Party. There has been talk by some Trade Unionists of forming a separate party. If this were to happen, and if people who voted for such a party did not direct their preferences to the Labor Party, then Australia and Australians would be at the mercy of the lying, unscrupulous Fascist Liberal Party. Julian Hancock
