Here is my opening pitch to my comrades in Brunswick....
Dear Friend,
Last year I was elected as a Wills FEA delegate to ALP State Conference. I am seeking your assistance to serve another term.
No doubt about it, Labor is going through tough times. We can be a strong and effective movement if we have the courage to listen to progressive voices in party and the community. We did that in Brunswick with the fantastic campaign for Jane Garrett last year – a model which needs to be embraced and improved upon nationwide.
I have been endorsed by the Socialist Left, and if elected I will work towards change in our party based on a series of principles involving:
Currently I am President of the Brunswick branch and serve on the Economics Policy Committee.
- A Labor Party of values and ideas
- A growing not declining Labor Party
- Returning real power to members
- Reaching out to our supporters in the community and
- A culture of inclusion and innovation, not exclusion
I am committed to continuing to report back to the Brunswick branch following each State Conference and taking up your issues at that forum.
In the lead up to the ballot I look forward to talking to you and asking for your support. If you want to contact me you can call 0403 xxx xxx.
