It&#8217;s no secret that in the internal battle inside the DSP I have been, broadly speaking, more sympathetic to the minority that has now been expelled from the DSP and started publishing Direct Action. This sympathy was based on my estimate that, taken as a whole, they are a more serious group of people, [...]]]></description>

Bob Gould
This winter is the coldest in NSW for a long time. The practical effect of this is that Saturday morning stalls and protests against electricity privatisation, aren&#8217;t affected when it&#8217;s sunny, but evening meetings preparing for such activities are affected rather dramatically.
This week NSW Treasurer Mick Costa announced the latest [...]]]></description>

The withdrawal of the electricity privatisation legislation in NSW until the parliamentary sitting in September is a second victory for the anti-privatisation forces in a protracted war on the question.
The bourgeois media are making the best of the situation, saying some kind of deal has been concluded with the Liberals. That may well be, [...]]]></description>

During my long political life there have been a number of decisive moments. Among them were the 20th congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and Khruschchev&#8217;s secret speech on the crimes of Stalin, and the crushing of the Hungrarian revolution in 1956. These events shook me out of the political orbit [...]]]></description>
