ELECTION 2004: An alternative is needed which will:

1 Defend and extend Medicare as a public health system with universal bulk billing
2 Support trade union and workers' rights
3 Take Australia out of the warmongering alliance with the USA
4 Fully fund public education
5 Provide for the environment and sustainability
6 Maintain Australia's sovereignty and independence
7 Develop friendly and peaceful relations with other nations
8 Recognise the rights of Indigenous Australians
9 Scrap the Free Trade Agreement with the US
10 Reverse the privatisation of publicly-owned assets and services

On October 9, the CPA recommends a vote for left and progressive 
candidates who put people before profits, who value the public 
sector and the welfare system.
