Vote for real change — Vote Communist

Why should we put up with long hospital waiting lists, lack of resources 
in schools, congested roads, pay to use motorways, the poor quality of air 
in inner city, privatisation of our assets, rampaging developers ripping 
out our heritage and destroying our neighbourhoods, the loss of services to 
rural and regional areas, the lack of opportunities and hope for young 
people and consequent drift into drugs and crime?

The large number of parties standing in the NSW State elections on March 27 
reflects the widespread discontent with the policies of the major parties 
and their failure to address these and the many other concerns that people 
have.

The people of NSW are sick of "economic rationalism" and governments who 
never say "no" to big business and the developers.

The Communist Party of Australia has no ties with big business. It is a 
working class party. Its interests are those of the working people.

The CPA offers genuine alternative policies that puts the interests of the 
people first.

The CPA opposes the privatisation of public assets (electricity should 
remain in public hands and water treatment should be returned to public 
ownership), supports public education and the public health system, public 
transport and public housing; fights for Aboriginal land rights and against 
racism; and defends the rights of workers and trade unions.

Vote Communist

The Communist Party will be standing John Bailey and Dorothy 
Bassil in the Legislative Council and Denis Doherty for the 
Legislative Assembly seat of Port Jackson.

John Bailey is a TAFE teacher, a TAFE Teachers' Association Councillor and 
active member of the NSW Teachers' Federation.

Dorothy Bassil is a social worker from a migrant (Greek Cypriot) family 
background and the mother of a toddler. Dorothy is presently undertaking 
studies with a view to re-entering the workforce. She has considerable 
experience in youth work.

Denis Doherty is a school teacher and respected community and social 
justice activist. He has been involved in many campaigns against 
privatisation, in support of Aboriginal and human rights, and around other 
social justice and environmental issues. He is secretary of the Glebe 
Neighbourhood Centre.

How to vote

Help break the two-party system by electing Communist Party and other left 
and progressive candidates.

The CPA recommends the following:

In the Legislative Council:

Vote 1 for the Communist Party above the line.

In the Legislative Assembly:

Vote 1 for Denis Doherty in Port Jackson and follow the CPA how-to-vote 
card.

In other seats vote for the most progressive candidates. These might be 
from smaller parties, the Greens, Democrats, Independents or members of the 
Labor Party.

Put One Nation last and the Liberal and Coalition Parties after the 
Labor Party.

Remember: your vote for a smaller party is not a wasted vote. If a smaller 
party fails to receive sufficient votes to get a candidate elected then its 
preferences are distributed. CPA preferences would eventually flow to Labor 
before the Coalition and One Nation.
