Wharfies
facing the sack as Ports Of Auckland gears up to
privatise.
And now no Treaty when it comes to selling off Public Assets."
"There is huge opposition to the government's plans to privatise state assets. Electricity is already too expensive in this country- we remember when Folole Muliaga died after she was disconnected for getting behind on her bills. Mums and Dads can't pay the bills on the poverty wages they earn, let alone buy back what they already own. Its not just American and Australian multinationals and the Chinese State we're worried about- Our concern is that the government will sell off the family silver to their rich friends, the elite 1%, both domestic and international.
We want to mobilise thousands of people
to march on the streets of Auckland this Saturday to say
Aotearoa is not for Sale. We will bring together the
political Left with union and community campaigns, such as
the GI Tenants resisiting eviction and the Wharfies fighting
casualisation.
Our public assets, our schools, our jobs
and our homes are all under attack. Its time to draw a line
in the sand and defeat the government on the streets."
New
Zealand is for sale. Come to the demonstration on Saturday
April 28th to defend Aotearoa. Starting 3pm at
Britomart."
