At its October 4 State Conference the Socialist Alliance in WA selected well-known activist Sam Wainwright to be its lead Senate candidate for the 2028 federal election. A long time fighter for social justice, environment and workers rights, Sam is currently involved in the Stop AUKUS campaign group. He also has experience as councillor at the City of Fremantle (2009-2021) and as a union activist and delegate from his time as a wharfie and MUA member (1999-2011).

Presented below is the Socialist Alliance National Executive's response to the Socialist Party (SP) proposal for the Socialist Alliance to become a faction within their electoral project, which was sent to the Socialist Alliance on November 17, and can be read here. To comrades in the Socialist Party National Executive Socialist Alliance takes unity proposals seriously and we will take the proposals you raised in your correspondence to Socialist Alliance on November 17 to our January 2026 members’ decision-making conference.

This Sunday marks the two-year anniversary of occupation, oppression and genocide in Gaza. The continuing humanitarian crisis has seen devastating events in recent weeks. A double airstrike on a major hospital resulted in the deaths of 20 people, including journalists and healthcare workers, and the United Nations has officially declared a famine within the Gaza Strip. Unions have a long and proud history of standing up against occupation, oppression and injustice, whether here at home or around the world.

Petition Reason The state of Israel is continuing to commit appalling crimes in Gaza where more than 50,000 Palestinians, most of them civilians, have been murdered and children are starving to death. Israel also targets and murders journalists. Israel must receive a strong message that this is unacceptable and that the mass killings must stop immediately. Petition Request We therefore ask the House to send a message to the state of Israel by expelling the Israeli ambassador to Australia and recalling the Australian ambassador in Israel.

Thanks to everyone who came along yesterday in the morning and evening to picket the employment services conference. We let those attending know that the days of this $4bn a year rort are numbered. Making millionaires from a system that suspended the payments of 416,000 welfare recipients in the first of 2025, and near on 10 million since 2018, should be a crisis — but not for this Labor government.

PLEASE TAKE OUR SURVEY! There are still many industries in Australia where women do not share the same access to opportunities. This is not good for women, businesses, families, workers, or our State.

Check out our full article in the Nimbin Good Times. All we sought was a meeting with our local member / the Minister for the North Coast to discuss the avoidable homelessness epidemic and the community's solutions to fix the housing crisis. Instead we were met with repeated police presence, an office closed to the public and refusal for a meeting.

Forgive me if this text seems rather blathering, I wrote it first by hand, and this is a semi-“cleaned up” transcription. Originally transcribed 2019-04-24. Introduction I recently saw some discussion online about the change of fortune we communists seem to be experiencing in politics. One opinion put forward struck a chord with with me: we are putting a lot more effort now into electoral ventures, but how much effort or visibility do our social movement efforts seem to be getting?
