Letters to the EditorA Mexican on Piers
Dear all, Just recieved my edition 26 of your newsletter and it appears you blokesare having a poke at our freind Piers Akerman (am I correct). All I can say is keep up the good work. after all it was his declaration of war against the ALP in Vic that lead to the tirade against ALL workers in this state and the election on the Kennet Govt Which I feel makes the Bjelke-Peterson government pale into insignificance. good to some on our side, the workers that is. Kind regards Ray Wilson
