The anti-privatisation campaign is heading for a climax at the
ALP State Conference on 3 May. Union leaders and ALP branch members are
threatening to roll the Premier and Treasurer, who are brazenly
declaring they don’t care. Meanwhile, the government has responded to
the Unsworth Committee by accepting some but not all of the
recommendations it made as conditions of support (see John Kaye’s
report above).
