Re: My speech for IR rally today

By Bob Gould

Nick Fredman's response to my comment on his speech prepared for the
June 28 union protest in Lismore is civilised and careful, and suggests
we may be beginning to establish a more rational basis for discussion,
which is altogether a good thing.

Nick refers us to some comments by Tim Gooden on the DSP website, and he
insists that essentially his own speech is no different to the thrust of
the DSP leadership's general line.

In passing he says that glossy leaflets aren't costly in long runs. In
my view he's just wrong about that.

To assist in clarifying the point I'm making we reproduce here the three
leaflets with their different approaches, so the reader can judge
whether I've drawn too long a bow in contrasting Nick's speech with the
Socialist Alliance national leaflet.

Nick's speech makes a real effort to strike a common chord with the
Labor and Greens supporters at the rally. That can't be said about the
Socialist Alliance leaflet prepared by the DSP leadership.
