Letters to the Editor Labor Sells Hydro
Can anyone explain why the State Labor Government opposes the sale of Telstra but is selling the Snowy Hydro scheme. Is the Labour movement really supporting this or is it just those few stupid dinosaurs who see it as some desperate act to revive the fortunes of the Iemma Government. Although Labor has been selling out the working people for at least 10 years it is now condemning working families to low pay and 19th century working conditions brought about by a certain victory for the coalition at the next election. Labor has always survived by utilising the maxim "a Labor government is always better than a Liberal one", no matter how often it sells out. Its key constituencies have swallowed this nonsense for years. The privatisation of the Snowy Hydro is the result of inbreeding by a succession of apparatchiks and sleazy compliant parliamentarians. Its time for strong-minded Labor independents to take on the official Labor candidates at the next election and to do their damnedest to defeat these shameless men and woman. Paul Palmer, NSW
