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. This is aboriginal land

Justice for Palestine
Apartheid Israel’s brutal 70 year occupation of Palestine is a searing indictment of the global community’s complicit silence and a gross affront to international law.
Byron Friends of Palestine call on The Echo to amend its embargo of Gareth Smith’s letters which can still be read on this Facebook page and that of the Ngara Institute

The union movement tied in with a Labour bureaucracy and the loss of the elections.
The one problem there is is no working class involv(ed) to break away from Union bureaucracy and the Australian Labour Party.
This is going to be a catastrophe.
Whose mine goes ahead?
I think my union (CFMEU) made a major blunder because when (there was) was split over ‘Stop Adani’, a lot of the mining sector support(ed) maintaining jobs in regional Australia and in Far North Queensland. This pressured the Labor Party to make a decision to give the go ahead for the (Adani) mine despite massive resistance on the streets.
The big problem (with the environment movement) was that we needed to get unions onside to realize the mine is not going to be in their interests.
Coal is a dead industry.
As China transitions to renewables (the same with the European Union) there will be no market for Australian coal because when the mine is not (economically) feasible.
Damage will be done … horrific environmental impacts for very short term gain.
