    Ah, so the Cristina K. party is from the main union?

    I attended the rally in Sydney this year and I am so glad I did - my faith in the future of humanity and the entire Progressive movement was restored.

    What was the rally like? Unfortunately there were none in Newcastle.

    A couple of thousand people showed up and quite a few unions were present. Lots of left-wing political parties were there as well, as well as activist groups. We marched through the main streets of Sydney to the sounds of bagpipe music and Socialist slogans, which was a lot of fun. There were quite a few speakers towards the end, such as Verity Firth from the ALP, a Greens Councillor, a couple of Union Secretaries and an Immigrant worker from Pacific Brands who was about to be laid off (He got a huge round of applause).

    All in all, a fun day. The mood was really optimistic and there was a real feeling that we were on the verge of an important era for the Progressive movement.

    Sort of.




    Names, secret names
    But never in my favour
    But when all is said and done
    It's you I love
