RALLIES OFF TO A STRONG START
28 June 2006
Thousands of people are expected to converge on Victoria Square at 12 noon to protest against the federal government's unfair new work laws.
The national day of action got off to a strong start, with about 500 people attending a protest outside the office of the federal Liberal member for Kingston, Kym Richardson at 7.30 this morning.
It is estimated 600 people attended a 10 am rally outside the office of the federal Liberal member for Makin, Trish Draper.
A third marginal Liberal seat will be targeted at noon, with a protest outside the office of the federal member for Wakefield, David Fawcett at Munno Para.
SA Unions Secretary, Janet Giles says the strong turnout demonstrates that working families are hurting as a result of the new work laws.
"These three marginal Liberal MP's supported laws which are undermining the job security and incomes of working families. We will be working hard in the lead up to the federal election to get rid of these MP's, and in turn, get rid of the Howard Government and its unfair, un-Australian laws", Ms Giles says.
