VOTE TO GET RID OF WORKCHOICES & FOR THE RETURN OF THE ‘FAIR GO’ AT WORK
Election 07 is a high stakes election for all working people in Australia. If we want OUR RIGHTS AT WORK restored, including the right to collectively bargain and the right to challenge unfair dismissal, we need to vote the Howard government out tomorrow. The Committee of Management of the Union has recommended that members vote Greens 1 and Labor 2 in the House of Representatives, and for the Greens in the Senate. This will be the most effective way to get rid of Workchoices. If the Green’s candidate does not get more votes than the Labor candidate in the House of Representatives, then the Green candidate’s votes will be applied to the Labor candidate, as per the voter’s preference on the ballot paper. Your vote will then count as a Labor vote if you voted for the Green candidate first and the Labor candidate second. (If the Green candidate gets more votes than the Labor candidate he or she may well be elected on Labor preferences.) Remember, for your vote to be valid you must number all boxes on the House of Representatives ballot paper. The ALP cannot win control of the Senate in this election. Therefore, regardless of your vote in the lower house, it is critical to vote Green in the Senate to put an end to Workchoices. By helping to elect a Green senator in Victoria you will ensure that the Green senators will hold the balance of power and can support legislation to get rid of the worst excesses of Workchoices. To vote Green in the Senate you can simply vote ‘1’ above the line for the Greens. You do not have to number every box.
