ELECTION 2022

VETERANS CALL FOR

‘PEOPLE POWER’ ELECTION DRIVE

Report by Fred Krausert, National President of MUA Veterans, on behalf of the National Executive. The report has been edited for space reasons.

T

his report is an appeal to all MUA members, retired members, families, and friends. In the political arena we face, on so many unfriendly fronts a government that has done nothing but attack the people they are supposed to represent. I am no longer a member of the ALP, but I am a realist and know that we don’t always get what we want from politics. However, I do understand politics and know that if we don’t change this “anti- people” government we will never recover from the damage they have inflicted upon us. Just look at the way they keep on attacking us through the various laws they have introduced; and the deals done with overseas big business and their partners that have us on the back foot all the time. I want an Australia that will give our future generations an “Aussie Fair Go”, not just one class that has it all and believes we can all go to hell. These parasites take from our country but never contribute to it – and pay no tax.
