Newcastle and the Hunter are being used by a political blow-in who knows nothing about the land, the people, the history of this place and it& #39;s making me *very* mad
Newcastle has a long and proud history of trade union, environmental and Aboriginal activism. Enviros and unionists have worked together here many times before. Why? Because we are committed to place and people
When One Nation came here in the late nineties, Newcastle turned out in our thousands in a colourful and loving festival of diversity, and picketed the venue, to send a message that this town lives on solidarity. I was a teenager and I will never forget it
Now here they are again, taking cheap shots at @theamwu and @NSW_ETU who fight and lead every day for the workers who will actually be the ones that will cop the consequences if we don& #39;t make a plan for the region& #39;s future
