17.01.2022 On this day in 1945 the Soviets liberate Warsaw from the Nazi terror
17.01.2022 This, despite a consistent right wing media campaign to attack and discredit Andrews and the lockdown, exemplifies an impressive amount of trust from the Victor...ian people. History will not look kindly upon those that in the State's darkest hours spent their time complaining how inconvenienced they were.

14.01.2022 Karl Marx -born 5 May 1818 died 14 March 1883
14.01.2022 From our Comrades from the MUA Wharfies are outraged after the Federal Court issued an interim injunction banning them from undertaking legally protected industrial action as part of their fight for a new workplace agreement, describing it as an attack on the fundamental democratic rights of all Australian workers. The court order prevents more than 1800 workers employed at DP World Australia container terminals in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Fremantle from taking any for...m of legally protected industrial action until 13 March 2020. The Maritime Union of Australia said the decision should send a shudder down the spine of all working Australians, with the Federal Court entrenching the power of foreign and local corporations and undermining the ability of workers to have any chance of standing up against workplace greed, inequality and for justice in the workplace. The union said the decision effectively bans those fundamental traits so cherished by Australian workers, which have achieved so many gains and conditions that we continue to enjoy today, and are now all up for grabs by anti-worker legislation, courts and commissions. MUA Assistant National Secretary Warren Smith said the Federal Court decision was just the latest in a long list of aggressive moves by DP World aimed at forcing workers to accept managements demands for a new workplace agreement. This injunction doesnt just prevent wharfies from taking legally protected industrial action, it is an alarming attack on democratic rights that will give companies open slather to strip all Australian workers of long held workplace conditions, which will effectively mean reduced standards of living for all, Mr Smith said. In the Federal Court, DP World relied on distortions and straight-out verballing to muddy the waters in an effort to strip MUA members of their lawful right to take industrial action. In the last year, DP World management have launched unlawful and aggressive attacks on workers rights, cancelling approved holidays, attempting to strip away social benefits such as income protection, sacking workers, docking pay, preventing workers from meeting with their union representatives, cancelling Christmas bonuses, and threatening the mass termination of 10 per cent of the workforce. Our members dont like corporate thuggery and they wont back down to intimidation. They are willing to take the necessary steps are necessary to defend their hard-won rights and conditions from this company and win new protections for themselves and their families. By using the Federal Court to strip away the democratic rights of Australian wharfies, DP World have made this the fight of every unionist and every worker in this country and around the world whose rights have just been removed in the name of corporate profit.
13.01.2022 Comrades, please enjoy this poem written especially for May Day 2020 by MUA SA Branch Secretary Jamie Newlyn: In Adelaide a year ago John Falzon came to speak Of collective solidarity Needed to lift the weak... Capitalism in crisis as we find our voice For a socialist society and a worker's choice When the sum of one is worth more than all, we have to march & shout. For Mayday is the moment to collectivise our clout From each according to their ability & each according to their need We will fight for worker's rights before capitalist greed Although we cannot March today our solidarity mounts Cause COVID19 wont stop our collective voice to count See more
