Welcome to WBT - EDUCATE, AGITATE, ORGANISE!

Workers BushTelegraph provides a class analysis of workers struggle and is primarily for letters, original articles, original news, stories you can’t read elsewhere, original verse, original pictures, videos and music.
We will not publish racist or anti-worker sentiments.
We do not seek ‘balance’ in reporting when it favours the wealthy and powerful, the bigoted or the sectarian — readers will have to go to the mass media for that.

Letters to the Editor

WBT addresses the following questions:
1. Industrial question: The Master/servant relationship. The struggle for Worker Control.
2. Ownership question: Who owns the land or does the land own us? Rights to the city, right to country. The struggle of indigenous people for land rights and social justice in Australia.
3. Political question: This is the class struggle. Who owns the means of production? Who governs? How are democratic rights won and shared.

Support the Paradigm Shift (4ZZZ - Fridays @ Noon) which for nearly 12 years has produced radical current affairs and analysis. More independent than the ABC because it does not use 'balanced 'reporting to support Israel.
