Letters to the Editor

Conspiracy of Silence?

The sooner the Howard government wharves conspiricy is aired the better.

The Aussie public soon forget and the government know that the longer they stall the less flak they will receive.

We as unionists know and do not have to be reminded, however somehow we have to keep the issue in the non unionist public eye so that they won't forget.
