Australian Political Situation resolutions and amendments 5.1 Resolutions on Australian political situation moved by the National Executive: 1) The ALP's continued rightward shift opens up spaces for left alternatives. Labor’s refusal to act as a real alternative to the Coalition during the last federal election contributed to their electoral routing and deepened the disillusionment of a significant minority of the population with the two-party system. 2) As the most established parliamentary alternative to Labor, the Greens have been the main benefactors of this opening. Insofar as the Greens have contested recent elections on a increasingly left platform, their rise is welcome, reflecting a strengthening of the left pole of politics in Australia. 3) In the face of a new offensive against working people’s rights and standard of living by the fourth-term Howard government, supported by a largely compliant opposition and pressured by the emergence of Christian right organisations like Family First, the Socialist Alliance will strive to build the broadest possible alliances with all those who want an end to neo-liberalism in order to strengthen the mass resistance to federal and state governments’ attacks on the working class and oppressed. In particular, we will strive to achieve the maximum possible unity in action with The Greens, with those breaking from Labor, and with everyone organising in the trade union and social movements against these attacks. 4) The Socialist Alliance has a strategic orientation to left-wing sections of the working class, particularly those organised in trade unions. Currently, this means the Alliance must prioritise our intervention into the campaign against the Coalition government’s industrial relations laws, with the aims of building a mass movement that can defend and extend union and workers’ rights. 5) At the same time, the Socialist Alliance reaffirms our long-term commitment to building the anti-war movement, and will continue to build to the best of our ability all campaigns for social and economic justice, such as for justice for Indigenous people, to free the refugees, for women’s rights and for civil rights, and oppose the privatisation of an d cutbacks to essential public services such as health, energy, water and social services. 6) The deepening crisis of social democracy, the Greens’ tendency to parliamentarism, and the political leadership vacuum left in the trade unions and other movements, creates a large space and potential for socialists to play an important leadership role in all major progressive campaigns and movements over the next period. To realise that potential, the maximum possible socialist unity is necessary. All Socialist Alliance members active in movements, campaigns and trade unions should therefore discuss and organise their political work not only through local branches but also as much as possible through inclusive, citywide, state-wide and national SA caucuses with the aim of building the most united and therefore effective socialist interventions possible in all spheres of resistance to neo-liberalism. 7) While the Socialist Alliance has, through the anti-war and other social movement work, recruited many new members, we have not yet fully benefited from the ALP's abandonment of working people. By working alongside all those who want an end to neo-liberalism while putting forward our own positive, socialist alternative, we will win more people to socialist solutions and the Alliance. 8) The Socialist Alliance rejects any idea that it is ultra-left or sectarian to criticise the ALP. Given that the principle aim of the Socialist Alliance project is to build an alternative to the left of Labor, the Alliance must, if it is to win over those who are starting to break to the left from the ALP, confidently and consistently present an honest and accurate analysis of Labor Party policies and practices from a socialist perspective, even if at times this requires a blunt statement of facts. To not do this would mean conceding crucial political space for building the left in general and the Socialist Alliance in particular. We recognised in the resolution adopted at our last national conference that, in order to build a left alternative to the ALP, it is not enough to restrict ourselves to simply denouncing Labor. The Alliance will always look for ways to draw ALP members and bodies into any struggle in defence of working-class and democratic rights and against war, but we do this in the knowledge that it will not be possible to build a left alternative without publicly criticising Labor's anti-working class positions. 9) Socialist Alliance’s election results reflect, primarily, the strengths and weaknesses of the extra-parliamentary sphere of politics; that is, socialists’ vote is proportional to the level of struggle and consciousness in wider society. As the progressive extra- parliamentary movements grow and deepen, and as socialists prove their leadership ability in those movements, the electoral resonance of socialism will also grow. The Socialist Alliance needs to be constantly testing that resonance by standing candidates in federal, state and local government elections whenever and wherever possible. We do this not as an alternative to consistent extra- parliamentary campaigning, but in order to build the extra-parliamentary movements and campaigns, and win more people to socialist ideas. 5.1.1 Amendment to the National Executive resolutions on the Australian Political Situation moved by Anne Picot: Delete contents of clause 8) and insert: “The Socialist Alliance exists to create a viable alternative to the Labor Party, whose trajectory continues to be to the right. Such an alternative cannot be built through denunciation; it takes a patient process of both working with ALP members and supporters and publicly posing alternative politics and strategies. Many ALP members and supporters will agree with our criticisms of Beazley’s leadership and of the rightward drift of the party. They will do so all the more readily if they experience Socialist Alliance members as allies in the joint struggle against the Liberals, oppression, racism, sexism and war.” 3 Amendment defeated. 5.1.2 Amendment to National Executive resolutions on Australian Political Situation moved by Alison Thorne and Peter Murray: Delete resolutions 4 and 5 and insert: “The Socialist Alliance has a strategic orientation to all working class struggles and reaffirms our long term commitment to organising in unions, to building the anti-war movement and all campaigns for social and economic justice, such as justice for Indigenous people, to free the refugees and for women’s, lesbian and gay and civil rights. Socialist Alliance opposes the privatisation of and cutbacks to, public services such as health, energy, water and social services. In the next period we will actively intervene in campaigns against the Coalition government’s industrial relations laws, its so- called welfare reforms, its attack on women’s rights and civil rights and its assimilationist policies towards Indigenous people. We do this with the aim of building militant campaigns that can defend and extend the rights of all working and poor people.” Renumber following resolutions accordingly. Amendment defeated. 5.1.3 Amendment moved by Carlene Wilson: In point 1, add at end of current sentence: “This disillusionment though has not displayed itself evenly. While some voters have chosen the Greens as the best of a bad bunch, others have been influenced buy Howard’s own family values agenda and voted to the right of even the Coalition. The election of a Family First senator, while it shouldn’t be blown out of proportion given the tiny percentage of the vote on which he was elected, does show a significant trend towards the socially conservative right in Australian politics. “This must also be seen in the context of increasing attacks on the most basic rights of women – particularly reproductive rights – the refusal to acknowledge same sex relationships through marriage, and attacks on welfare recipients, particularly single mothers. “At the same time we are living in an Australia where part-timisation and casualisation have reached mammoth proportions and the real average wage is falling. We are a working class under attack from all sides and the anti-union laws that will come into effect in a few weeks are only the most obvious and immediately devastating of these. “ Alongside this is the continuation of the Howard government’s brutal and openly racist attacks on those seeking asylum here. While the huge blunders that have come to light in recent months may mean a temporary loosening at the edges, it is clear that the government is devoted to retaining mandatory detention. “It is not just at home that the Australian bosses and government who represents them have increased in confidence. Australia is slowly increasing the number of troops on the ground in Iraq – a clear sign that the consistent opposition from ordinary Australians has had no effect on government policy. And closer to home Australia retrains an imperialist role in the region, the claiming of the Timor Gap oil only one of the more blatant displays of this. “It is in this period of increased reaction that we as the Socialist Alliance need a clear way forward to provide the leadership that the AL:P is refusing tom and that the Greens do not have the class politics for. While recognizing the seriousness of the attacks that face us we must also see that there is a fightback – in the trade unions, among refugee rights activists, amongst those defending women’s rights and those who are part of and support indigenous people’s struggles.” Amendment defeated. 5.1.4 Amendment moved by Carlene Wilson: In point 2, delete the second sentence beginning “insofar as the Greens…” and replace with: “This increase in the Greens’ electoral fortunes should not blind us to the fact that they remain a party with no real links to working class organizations and a platform that is small ‘l’ liberal at best. They may appear left and have certainly gained some support from workers angry with the ALP but this does not make them a party that in any way belongs to our class.” Amendment defeated. 5.1.5 Amendment moved by Carlene Wilson: In point 6, delete the words “tendency to” in the first sentence. Amendment defeated. 5.1.6 Amendment moved by Carlene Wilson: In point 9, delete the first part of paragraph from “Socialist Alliance election results reflect…” to “…the electoral resonance of socialism will grow.” Replace with “An honest assessment of Socialist Alliance election results in the last years shows that while there have been some small gains, on the whole our results are disappointing. This should not come as a surprise given our relative size and the dominance of the Greens in trying to take the space to the left of the ALP. This emphasises though the need to make our arguments against the non-class politics of the Greens all the more visible. While we can have unity in action with their members around many issues we must be determined in our critique of them as no real alternative. Despite the disappointing nature of many of our electoral results to date…” then continue with the original paragraph. Amendment defeated. 5.1.7 Amendment moved by Darlene Montgomery: Add to resolution 5 “…for women’s rights, for civil rights, against homophobia.” Amendment adopted.

National Executive resolution on Australian Political Situation, as amended, adopted. It reads: 1) The ALP's continued rightward shift opens up spaces for left alternatives. Labor’s refusal to act as a real alternative to the Coalition during the last federal election contributed to their electoral routing and deepened the disillusionment of a significant minority of the population with the two-party system. 2) As the most established parliamentary alternative to Labor, the Greens have been the main benefactors of this opening.

5.2 Resolution on lessons from the Respect victory moved by Judy McVey: Conference welcomes the significant breakthrough made by the Respect party in England and Wales in the recent British general election, in particular the election of George Galloway. Conference believes that there are some lessons for the Socialist Alliance from the experience of Respect, including: • The need to build the anti-war movement, which formed the basis for the founding of Respect. • The need to take electoral work seriously, and to concentrate limited resources in key local seats to maximise impact. • The importance of adopting a non-sectarian, united front approach to the Muslim community, disaffected Labor supporters and leftwing union activists. • The role of local campaigning, linking major issues like war to local issues over cutbacks to services, etc. • The need to put down roots in the community. Resolution defeated.

5.3 Resolution on a lower voting age policy moved by the National Executive: That Socialist Alliance adopt a policy that the voting age be lowered to 16 years. Resolution adopted.

5.4 Resolution on National John Pat Day Rallies moved by Ray Jackson, Alison Thorne, Sam Watson and Jan Cowan: Socialist Alliance will continue our efforts to hold police, prison officers and the racist state to account for its role in the deaths of TJ Hickey, Mulrunji Doomadgee and Douglas Scott among others. We support calls for protests to be held around Australia to mark John Pat Day on September 23 or 24, 2005 and will, as our resources permit, commit to work with others to build broad, democratic coalitions to organise the protests and foster collaborative relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous activists. Resolution adopted.

5.5 Resolution on the Australian political situation submitted by Bernie Rosen (moved by Raul Bassi):

5 That conference adopt the following resolutions: • Campaign for a 50% reduction of interest rates on bank cards. • Campaign for abolition of charges for over the counter banking. • Campaign for the nationalisation of banking and insurance by amendments to the Commonwealth Constitution that would enable a progressive government to legislate for this purpose. • Proposals for the construction of dams for water conservation. • Prepare an appropriate policy for the rural sector of the economy that would appeal to the struggling farmer. • Increase aged and disability pensions to 75% of the basic wage. • Campaign for free dental care for all pensioners to be financed by the Federal Government. • Campaign for the provision of accommodation for the homeless. • The provision of free lunches for school children from poor families. • Full support for the campaign to secure the exoneration and release of Schapelle Corby. 5.5.1 Amendment to Bernie Rosen’s resolution moved by from Riki Lane: Remove the fourth and last dot points, about dam construction and Schapelle Corby. Amendment adopted. 5.5.2 Procedural motion moved by Dick Nichols: That Bernie Rosen’s resolution be referred to the incoming National Executive for consideration by the appropriate national policy working group. Motion adopted.

5.6 Resolution on additions to SA's Gender Agenda submitted by Elena Garcia (moved by Lisa Macdonald): That conference adopt the following amendments to be made to the Socialist Alliance’s Gender Agenda: A Charter for Women’s Rights: 1. Under "The reality today", this dot point should read: “In most states abortion is still illegal and is becoming much more difficult for poor, rural and/or young women to obtain. IVF technologies too are only available to the rich as a real option. IVF is hugely expensive and has a low success rate, which makes it almost impossible for poorer women to use it successfully. Meanwhile, lesbian couples still cannot adopt children or access IVF in most states." 2. Under "We demand action...For women's control of their own bodies", this dot point should read: "No discrimination based on age, sexual preference, marital status or wealth for access to reproductive technologies. Reproduction is a woman's right to choose, and IVF should be available safely, free of charge and on demand through the public health system. Just like abortion, free IVF on demand should be a woman's right to choose. Women in prison to be able to use contraception and have access to pregnancy or abortion care if necessary." Resolution adopted.

5.7 Resolution on progressive pedagogy moved by Barry Healy: That Socialist Alliance establishes an e-mail discussion loop to formulate a progressive education policy ready for discussion at next year’s conference. Resolution adopted.

5.8 Resolution on Aboriginal communities moved by Nick Ingman: That conference adopt the following resolutions: 1. Our duty is to work closely with Aboriginal communities, to prevent them from having to go it alone and be vulnerable to the attacks of the colonial and capitalist Howard Government, and its other political lackeys that stand in opposition to full Aboriginal sovereignty. 2. We understand that the Survival of Aboriginal people is again seriously under threat, and the situation is as dire as it's ever been, effectively as bad as the situation in Iraq, or any other 3rd world situation - if not worse. 3. Our understanding is that the capitalist system, which came with Captain Cook, and the environmental destruction that it has brought, is an attack on Aboriginal spiritual connections with the land and traditional communism, where the law was to care, share and help each other. 4. If we can develop a serious solidarity, then some of the attacks can be alleviated, with the threat of the revolution hanging over the head of the Howard government, so in this way the long term can help the short term. 5. We understand that it is in all of our interest to foster access for the Aboriginal elders to our circle so that we, as the socialist alliance, can do our best to share what tools of protection we have with Aboriginal communities against the colonial capitalist regime. Our future decisions and programs shall be best served, with a stronger mutual Aboriginal involvement. 5.8.1 Procedural motion moved by Kim Bullimore That Nick Ingam’s resolutions be referred to the incoming National Executive and the national Indigenous working group for the further discussion and development of policy and action. Motion adopted.

5.9 Resolutions on health policy moved by Carl Kenner: That conference adopt the following resolutions to be added to SA’s health policy: 1. Remove references to "alternative therapies" from our policies. We support the extension of Medicare to all facets of health care, but only to treatments that have been shown to be safe and effective. This does not include the majority of "alternative therapies". As such we will remove all references to extending Medicare

6 to cover "alternative therapies" from our policies. This includes our "Health Charter", "Money for Medicare, not war", "Resolution on Healthcare" from the 2004 conference, and "Universal, Free, Quality Health Care" from the 2003 conference. 2. There is no alternative to medical science. The Socialist Alliance recognizes that there is no alternative to medical science. All therapies must obey the laws of physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics in order to be effective. There is no such thing as chi (aka qi, ki, doshas, prana, fohat, orgone, odic force, mana, etheric energy, or life-force) or the "meridians" it supposedly flows along. Diluting makes chemicals weaker rather than stronger. People do not have magical auras. There is no such thing as healing energy. Body parts are not mapped onto other body parts. Psychic powers do not exist and cannot heal. Subluxation of the spine is not the cause of most disease and can't be healed by a chiropractor. 3. Prosecute health fraud. We recognize that health fraud is no different from any other kind of fraud. There should be no exception to consumer protection legislation for fake medical treatments. Alternative medicine should not be above the law. The same laws that ban defective and ineffective products from being sold or advertised should apply to medicine. We completely oppose the buyer-beware attitude of consumer protection, and place all responsibility for proving the effectiveness of a product on the companies selling and producing the product. 4. Support fluoridation of water supply. We support the fluoridation of the water supply as a preventative treatment for costly dental health problems. 5. Defend vaccination. Vaccination is an essential preventative measure. Its enormous benefits far outweigh the miniscule risks. We wholeheartedly support vaccination and defend it from the anti-vaccination lobby. 6. Reject AIDS conspiracy theories. AIDS is caused by the HIV virus which developed naturally in western Africa. Condoms are an effective and essential preventative measure against HIV, unlike abstinence programs which are not effective. Folk remedies for aids such as the raping of virgins are abhorrent and should be stamped out. Conventional scientific medicine is the only way to deal with the AIDS epidemic. 7. Support and defend stem-cell research. We support and defend stem cell research. We oppose attempts to restrict it from using human embryos. 8. Support animal testing. Animal testing is an absolutely vital part of medical research. We expect that all medical treatments should undergo testing on animals. Animal testing is no worse than eating meat or the conditions animals endure in farming, and is far more beneficial to humanity. We defend scientists' right to conduct tests on animals without harassment. 9. Multiple Chemical Sensitivity is psychological. We recognise that "Multiple Chemical Sensitivity" usually has a psychological cause rather than a chemical one. 10. Support and defend the view that cigarette smoke is dangerous to your health. Cigarette smoke is a health risk regardless of whether you are inhaling it deliberately or are exposed to it as part of your work environment. We support anti-passive-smoking legislation to protect workers' health. Procedural motion moved by Carl Kenner: That conference vote on each resolution separately. Motion defeated. Resolution defeated.

5.10 Resolution on complementary and alternative medicine submitted by Nick Fredman and Kath O’Driscoll (moved by Bernie Wunsch): That the following sub-section be added to the Socialist Alliance Health Charter, before the sub-section on Patient’s Rights: “Complementary and alternative medicine The Socialist Alliance recognises that complementary and alternative therapies, if properly regulated, can play an important role in a democratically-run, community based health system that focuses on prevention and education. The Socialist Alliance will: increase provision in public institutions of education and training in complementary and alternative therapies that are supported by independent research and evaluation; ensure that healthcare practitioners who advise or prescribe complementary or alternative medicines are appropriately trained and competent; extend Medicare to cover the services of such practitioners; employ such practitioners as appropriate in public hospitals and Community Health Centres; increase public research and evaluation of complementary and alternative medicines; regulate and where appropriate nationalise the supply of complementary and alternative medicines to ensure they meet the required standards of safety, quality and efficacy.” Resolution adopted.

Chris Cain presented greetings from the Maritime Union of Australia and the CFMEU (WA branches). 7. Trade Union Work 7.1 Sue Bolton reported on the National Executive resolutions on trade union work, and on the outcomes of the June 11 National Union Fightback Conference.

Craig Johnston addressed the conference.

7.2 Resolution on trade union work moved by the National Executive: 1. The draconian nature of the new anti-union legislation means that the major focus of SA’s union work over the next period will be: • building cross-union resistance against the Howard government’s anti-union laws; • building up the strength of our own unions and workplaces in order to resist the increased attacks on unions; 7 • providing solidarity to any group of unionists that is being specifically targeted; • putting pressure on the ALP to vote against the proposed anti-union legislation, but also to commit to repealing all of the anti-union legislation, including the Workplace Relations Act, when next in office. While SA unionists will be involved in other campaigns in addition to the anti-Howard campaign – local workplace disputes, enterprise bargaining campaigns, solidarity campaigns, health & safety issues, maternity leave and equal pay campaigns, stolen wages etc – these campaigns will be effected by the extent of union struggle against the anti-union laws. And the localized campaigns can flare up into significant tests of strength against the Howard government’s anti-union laws. 2. For a trade union-community alliance to be real, SA unionists need to advocate that the unions should call on all sections of the community which will suffer from the Howard government attacks – welfare recipients, Aborigines, refugees, and others – to join them in united action against the government’s attacks. 3. That after Craig Johnston’s release, we discuss with him the possibility of a national speaking tour. 4. Hold more of a range of trade union seminars and films which include elements of historical experience, education, and training, as well as tactical issues in the movement. 5. Update and reprint the Socialist Alliance trade union pamphlet. 6. That SA unionists actively build union support for the campaigns against the Iraq war, for international solidarity, and for refugee rights. 7. Further improve the functioning of our union caucuses and organization of our union members by: • Organizing more district-wide cross union caucuses so that SA unionists can maximize our impact in alliance with other progressive unionist for a more militant union response to the government’s anti-union agenda. • Seeking out SA members who would be prepared to convene union caucuses which don’t currently have conveners. • Seeking to involve more of a range of SA members at all levels of our union work – union specific caucuses, cross-city caucuses, the national trade union committee, the planning out of SA union seminars.

7.2.1 Amendment to the National Executive resolutions on trade union work moved by Alison Thorne and Peter Murray: Amendment by way of addition to resolution 6: In the first sentence after “… refugee rights” add “women’s rights, reproductive rights and Indigenous rights.” Amendment adopted. 7.2.2 Amendment to the National Executive resolutions on trade union work moved by Anne Picot: To add a dot point to point 7: “* Participating in and building broad networks of union and other activists to co-ordinate union intervention in the fightback against Howard’s anti-union laws; such networks are Union Solidarity in Melbourne and Defend Workers Rights and Unions Coalition in Sydney.” Amendment adopted. 7.2.3 Amendment to the National Executive resolutions on trade union work moved by Carlene Wilson: In point 1, delete the first sentence and replace with: “The seriousness of the attacks on basic union organizing is not sectoral or isolated. It is an attack on our entire class. For that reason the Socialist Alliance will do what it can through its own propaganda, through its networks in the unions and positions that members hold to encourage the strongest and most united possible action. This means industrial action, and in particular strikes. Socialist Alliance will endeavour to pass motions in unions and put pressure on union leaders with whom we have influence as well as mobilizing the rank and file of unions in which we have influence to call for strike action on June 30 and beyond. We recognize that a single day of action – however militant or well supported – is not enough to turn the tide. Socialist Alliance wants to have a real leadership role because we recognize what needs to be done in order to prevent these attacks. It is through this leadership that we can argue for the kind of ongoing actions that will be necessary to reverse all of the anti- union legislation we have been attacked with not just this year, but since then new industrial laws first began. We recognise that the ASCTU and many union leaderships have been slow in providing leadership. While many are coming on board with June 30 now,. We are aware that this has been under pressure from the rank and file and from the organizing that Socialist Alliance among others have been doing. We do not hesitate in calling out those leaders who have delayed and not argued clearly for demonstrations and industrial action. As well as these actions, we will:” Amendment defeated. 7.2.4 Amendment to National Executive resolutions on trade union work moved by Kieran Latty: Insert before the start of motion: “The campaign against Howard’s IR laws is a major challenge for the trade union and progressive movement and is a major opportunity for SA to extend its influence in the trade union movement and in working class communities in general. The campaign against the IR laws needs to be the major focus for the organization as a whole. Every member and branch can and should be involved in activity around this campaign – be it through union caucuses, mass leafleting at local workplaces or train stations, organizing meetings with other groups such as the Greens, and ALP or raising solidarity with the trade union movement inside campaign or peace groups.” Amendment defeated.

National Executive resolution on trade union work, as amended, adopted. It reads: 1. The draconian nature of the new anti-union legislation means that the major focus of SA’s union work over the next period will be: • building cross-union resistance against the Howard government’s anti-union laws; • building up the strength of our own unions and workplaces in order to resist the increased attacks on unions; • providing solidarity to any group of unionists that is being specifically targeted; • putting pressure on the ALP to vote against the proposed anti-union legislation, but also to commit to repealing all of the anti-union legislation, including the Workplace Relations Act, when next in office. While SA unionists will be involved in other campaigns in addition to the anti-Howard campaign – local workplace disputes, enterprise bargaining campaigns, solidarity campaigns, health & safety issues, maternity leave and equal pay campaigns, stolen

8 wages etc – these campaigns will be affected by the extent of union struggle against the anti-union laws. And the localized campaigns can flare up into significant tests of strength against the Howard government’s anti-union laws. 2. For a trade union-community alliance to be real, SA unionists need to advocate that the unions should call on all sections of the community which will suffer from the Howard government attacks – welfare recipients, Aborigines, refugees, and others – to join them in united action against the government’s attacks. 3. That after Craig Johnston’s release, we discuss with him the possibility of a national speaking tour. 4. Hold more of a range of trade union seminars and films which include elements of historical experience, education, and training, as well as tactical issues in the movement. 5. Update and reprint the Socialist Alliance trade union pamphlet. 6. That SA unionists actively build union support for the campaigns against the Iraq war, for international solidarity, and for refugee rights, women’s rights, reproductive rights and Indigenous rights. 7. Further improve the functioning of our union caucuses and organization of our union members by: • Organizing more district-wide cross union caucuses so that SA unionists can maximize our impact in alliance with other progressive unionist for a more militant union response to the government’s anti-union agenda. • Seeking out SA members who would be prepared to convene union caucuses which don’t currently have conveners. • Seeking to involve more of a range of SA members at all levels of our union work – union specific caucuses, cross-city caucuses, the national trade union committee, the planning out of SA union seminars. • Participating in and building broad networks of union and other activists to co-ordinate union intervention in the fightback against Howard’s anti-union laws; such networks are Union Solidarity in Melbourne and Defend Workers Rights and Unions Coalition in Sydney.

7.3 Resolution on National Union Fightback Conference moved by Sue Bolton: To endorse the statement and resolutions adopted at the June 11 National Union Fightback Conference as follows: A. National Union Fightback Conference statement Now’s the time for a united fightback! With control of the Senate on July 1 the Howard government will begin an all-out attack on the rights of working people. The Coalition’s plan is to destroy our unions and their ability to defend our wages and conditions. If Howard and his big business backers get away with their plans, many employment conditions such as awards, redundancy pay, penalty rates and breaks will be shredded. Anti-union penalties will be massively increased, and our unions’ ability to organise will be massively restricted. The industrial relations changes announced by the government on May 26 are much more severe than those announced during the election campaign. And the government has already announced a further round of attacks on workers in 12 months time after a review of all awards. The sort of attacks that that have been launched against the building industry unions will be extended to all unions unless the government comes up against stiff resistance. We therefore call on the ALP to commit to opposing all anti-union laws and to repealing them when they are next elected to office. History tells us that anti-union laws can be defeated by the combined mobilised strength of the union movement. Already some employers are nervous. Since the new anti-union laws were announced they have told the media that they will only support the proposed laws as long as there is no significant industrial campaign against them by the union movement. Therefore, the National Union Fightback Conference recognises that: 1. The campaign against the Coalition government’s proposed industrial relations law won’t be won by one single action and that there needs to be a sustained campaign involving a wide range of actions – mass rallies, media campaigning, education, workplace meetings, solidarity action between unions, public meetings, joint actions with other sections of the community under attack from the Howard government, and industrial action organised at a regional, industry, state and national level. 2. The campaign for union rights must be linked with opposition to the anti-democratic agenda of the Howard Government. This includes defense of refugee rights, civil liberties, students’ rights, public broadcasting, and opposition to Bush’s war. These issues should be interwoven with all publicity and literature of the campaign. 3. Education campaigns are absolutely vital, but they have the most impact when they are linked with proposals for workers to take action. At the same time industrial action will be critical in the campaign, although not the only element. 4. Opinion polls show that the majority of workers who aren’t union members would join a union if they weren’t intimidated by their employers or they had contact with a union. Non-union workers who are scared about the Howard government’s attacks are more likely to join unions if they see the union movement mobilising on a large scale. 5. Coordinated nationwide, statewide or regional mass union protests are particularly important in recruiting non-union workers to unions and in giving workers the confidence to go back to their workplace and stand up to their employers. 6. Such mass union protests will also be important in strengthening solidarity between different unions, between blue collar and white collar, between low-paid and higher-paid, between male and female workers, between casual and permanent workers, between Australian-born and migrant workers. They will also help weaken the hold of sexism, racism, homophobia and other attitudes used by the bosses to divide working people. 7. Such protests are also important for building alliances with other sections of the community which are being attacked by the federal government, such as disability and sole parent pensioners. If the union movement makes a broad public appeal for all sectors of society that are being attacked by the government to join the big union protests, it will give increased confidence to other sectors. 8. The old tradition of mass delegates meetings needs to be revived to strengthen the campaign at the grassroots. 9. Solidarity will be key to the success of this campaign. We need to pledge to take solidarity action to defend any union/s which are particularly targeted and build a campaign of solidarity in the event of any unionist being prosecuted under the anti-union laws. B. National Union Fightback Conference action resolutions 1. June 30/July 1 actions:

9 The National Union Fightback Conference pledges an all-out effort to maximise the turn-out at the actions at the end of June/early July. We also call on all sectors of society that are being kicked by the Howard government, to join with the union movement in these actions. Rank and file union members have a special role to play in building up the activist base in workplaces to support these actions. 2. National union fightback network: • Establish a national newsletter & email list. • Establish a website. • Possibly organise a 2nd National Union Fightback Conference in May 2006 3. National actions: Campaign for a nationally coordinated action in August. Encourage mass delegates’ meetings in the lead up to an August action. Pledge a solidarity campaign in the event of unionists getting prosecuted and/or jailed under the anti-union laws. Pledge solidarity action when a union is singled out by the government for attack. 4. Student National Day of Action: The Howard government attacks on ordinary people are as broad as they are aggressive. The only way we can beat them back is with organised opposition and solidarity in industrial and political action. We call on all unions and unionists to support the National Day of Action called by the National Union of Students on August 10 by calling solidarity action with students in their fight against voluntary student unionism (VSU). 5. Reproductive Rights: This National Union Fightback Conference recognizes that the union rights of workers and the reproductive rights of women are interlinked. The corporate world, through its parliamentary and religious ideologues, has unleashed a vicious attack on both is no coincidence. It is a concerted and desperate assault to supply the capitalist system with the skilled, cheap, exploitable workforce needed for its survival. Controlling women’s reproduction is as important for profit as the intensified exploitation of labour: it allows business to use women as the biological reproducers and free carers of its workforce as well as a pool of low-cost labour on demand. Childcare, paid maternity leave, free access to abortion and reproductive technology such as IVF, and equal pay for women must be core issues for the union movement. These conditions would benefit all working women and men, especially the unions’ 40% female membership. This conference endorses the Melbourne rally for reproductive rights on July 30, initiated by the Campaign for Women’s Reproductive Rights (CWRR). We urge unionists to work with CWRR in building the rally through union endorsements and the active mobilization of members, and in ensuring a strong, visible presence on the day. Resolution adopted unamended.

An affiliate is a socialist party, migrant organisation, trade union or similar working-class organisation that has joined the Alliance as a discrete entity. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES 3.1 The Alliance is a coalition of socialist parties and socialist individuals supporting a common action platform for the purpose of endorsing candidates to contest elections for local and state government representatives and for the federal House of 14 Representatives and the Senate. The Alliance also seeks to build campaigns around the demands of the action platform and policy as adopted, involving trade unions and communities, in order to fight for the resources and services that workers, unemployed, women, pensioners, Aborigines, and migrants really need. 3.2. The Socialist Alliance stands candidates to give a voice to working-class struggle, and meet the need for working-class political representation. 3.3. The Alliance seeks to build a movement for change by developing policies, campaigns, industrial struggles and co-operation with all workers, environmental, anti-racist, and other social movements and to put forward an alternative to corporate control of society. A sustained mass campaign of total opposition to the ruling class offensive can bring together the forces to replace capitalism with a socialist society, based on co-operation, democracy and ecological sustainability. 3.4. In parliament, Socialist Alliance representatives use their positions to support workers' struggles and social movements, fight reactionary policies and promote the mass campaigns that can defeat the attacks on jobs and living standards.

The National Treasurer shall be appointed by the incoming National Executive after each National Conference. 7.4.

The National Executive shall meet, in face or by phone, at least every two months.

Branches shall be responsible for ensuring a political discussion at branch meetings, carrying out campaigns in their area in support of workers’ and social movement struggles, and for the running of election campaigns. 8.7. Providing their material does not contradict the Alliance platform and policy as adopted, Alliance branches shall be free to raise additional, specific demands within their material. 8.8 Where branch meetings will conduct elections for office bearers, delegates or candidate pre-selections (except where a public election called at short notice makes this notice impossible), or consider a motion to close the branch, then 28 days’ notice of the meeting and the intended ballot or motion shall be given to all members of that branch, and the National Conveners shall be advised of the motion. STATES AND DISTRICTS 9.1. There shall be an Annual State or Territory Conference in every state or territory where Socialist Alliance has Branches. 9.2.

Any individual member or affiliate organisation shall have the right to form a caucus for the purpose of influencing Alliance policy and activity. As far as possible caucus meetings shall be open and transparent. However, once Alliance policy and campaigning priorities are decided, caucuses are expected to abide by them and not organise public campaigns in opposition to Alliance policy. 10.3. Caucuses, groups or affiliates within the Alliance have the right to produce and circulate literature publicly. ELECTION CAMPAIGNS AND PRE-SELECTION 11.1. Branches shall pre-select the candidate or candidates for their electorate(s). Nominations shall be called 14 days before a scheduled branch meeting. The Returning Officer shall supply candidates for pre-selection with a list of all branch members eligible to vote. Candidates shall be given equal time of at least five minutes each to speak to the branch meeting. The pre-selected candidate must receive an absolute majority of votes. If no candidate receives an absolute majority in the first round of voting, the candidate with the least number of votes shall drop off and further rounds of voting conducted until one candidate gains an absolute majority. 11.2. Branches shall also be responsible for their own election campaigns, including raising finances, to nominate candidates and production of material (above and beyond whatever common election material is provided centrally).

DISSOLUTION OF THE SOCIALIST ALLIANCE 14.1 The Socialist Alliance may be dissolved by a special conference called for this purpose by the National Executive, or by one quarter of the membership (as above). Any assets of the Socialist Alliance will be distributed to any organisation or organisations having aims consistent with those of the Socialist Alliance as determined by such a special meeting or conference. The delegate ratio for such a special conference may be no less that the delegate ratio used for the last properly constituted National Conference.

Procedural motion moved by the presiding committee: That nominations for the National Executive be opened immediately, and that nominations be submitted in writing to presiding committee by the end of the lunch break (2.30pm). Motion adopted.

11. Publications: Socialist Alliance-Green Left Weekly relationship 11.1 Procedural motion from the presiding committee: That conference hears reports on the four resolutions (15 minutes each for the National Executive and SA-GLW Editorial Board resolutions, and 7 minutes each for the ISO and FSP resolutions) then suspend standing orders to allow 45 minutes of general discussion on all resolutions before moving to the vote. Voting on the resolutions shall be in the following order: FSP resolution, ISO resolution, National Executive resolution, SA-GLW Board resolution. Motion adopted. Raul Bassi reported on the National Executive resolution. Alex Miller reported on the SA-GLW Editorial Board resolution. Stephen Martin reported on the ISO resolution. Alison Thorne reported on the FSP resolution.

11.2 Resolution on the SA-Green Left Weekly relationship moved by the FSP: That this conference ends the GLW trial and welcomes the role of all affiliate and Socialist Alliance publications in promoting and building the Socialist Alliance. Resolution defeated.

11.3 Resolution on Socialist Alliance-Green Left Weekly relationship moved by the ISO: Conference believes that the trial relationship between the Socialist Alliance and Green Left Weekly has failed. Furthermore, it has distorted the priorities of the Alliance and contributed to a tense and uncomradely atmosphere in leading bodies. Conference welcomes the support of Green Left Weekly, and other affiliate publications, and believes that such support would be forthcoming despite the trial. Conference believes that the publications which serve the Alliance best are those that grow organically out of our work and which can be produced and funded from the resources the Alliance has at this stage of its development. Such publications include broadsheets, union and women’s charters, Seeing Red and general mass distribution leaflets. Accordingly, conference agrees to terminate the SA-GLW trial and instructs the incoming national executive to arrange for the publication of at least four broadsheets between now and conference 2006. Resolution defeated.

11.4 Resolution on the SA-Green Left Weekly relationship moved by the National Executive: That conference adopt the following resolution:

18 The National Executive of the Socialist Alliance reaffirms its commitment to the trial relationship with Green Left Weekly, as agreed in November, 2003, the protocols that were accepted by Conference in 2004 and changes adopted in the review of December 2004, all with a view to transforming GLW into the paper of the Alliance. The National Executive of the Socialist Alliance reaffirms the structure and spirit established by these protocols, which were for diverse political representation on the SA-GLW Editorial Board, and they reflect the diversity of the Alliance as an organisation in transition to becoming a multi-tendency socialist party (MTSP). They do this through the inclusion of a minimum of one dedicated position representing the interests of small affiliates and a majority of Board positions allocated to non-DSP representatives, elected from the floor of National Conference. The National Executive of the Socialist Alliance reaffirms that the size of the Board remain at least at 12, as decided by the 2004 National Conference, with the aim of developing more active participation of those SA members on it. 11.4.1 Amendment to the National Executive resolution on the SA-Green Left Weekly relationship moved by Louise Walker, Lalitha Chelliah and Raul Bassi: That the National Executive resolutions on the SA-GLW relationship be amended to state: • This 2005 National Conference of the Socialist Alliance reaffirms its commitment to the trial relationship with Green Left Weekly, as agreed in November, 2003, the protocols that were accepted by Conference in 2004 and changes adopted in the review of December 2004, all with a view to transforming GLW into the paper of the Alliance. • The 2005 National Conference of the Socialist Alliance reaffirms the structure and spirit established by these protocols, which were for diverse political representation on the SA-GLW Editorial Board. They reflect the diversity of the Alliance as an organisation in transition to becoming a multi-tendency socialist party (MTSP). They do this through the inclusion of a minimum of one dedicated position representing the interests of small affiliates, with a possibility of further positions being held by non-DSP affiliates, and an overall majority of Board positions allocated to non-DSP representatives, elected from the floor of National Conference. • The 2005 National Conference of the Socialist Alliance reaffirms that the size of the Board remain at a minimum of 12, as decided by the 2004 National Conference, with the aim of developing more diverse yet active participation of SA members on it. • The 2005 National Conference instructs the SA-GLW Board to present a report on its work no later than six months from now, and earlier if it has any problems pursuing its charter. Amendment defeated. National Executive resolution defeated.

11.5 Resolution on Socialist Alliance-Green Left Weekly moved by the SA-GLW Editorial Board: That conference adopt the following resolutions, put to the vote individually: 1. Conference recommends that the board continue its non-sectarian work of encouraging a pluralist and diverse range of voices and perspectives from within SA to publish in Green Left Weekly. 2. Conference recommends that the protocols agreed on in February 2004 be adopted with the effect of putting the GLW- SA partnership on an ongoing footing. Conference notes that this is not a resolution recommending that GLW, as it currently is, be adopted as "the SA paper". Conference calls for constructive debate from all quarters on how, with GLW as a starting point, the development of an SA newspaper can proceed. Conference encourages affiliates of the Alliance with their own publications to consider ways of pooling their resources with those of GLW to create an even more effective publication for the left and socialist movement in Australia. 3. Conference recommends that the current editorial liaison board be replaced by a smaller board consisting of six members, elected at the SA national conference. In a spirit of non-sectarianism, conference emphasises that there are no political restrictions or requirements on the composition of the board other than SA membership: any SA member is eligible to serve on the board, regardless of their political orientation, affiliation or lack of it, so long as they undertake to work pro-actively, constructively and in a non-sectarian manner in furthering the GLW-SA partnership. However, the board is conceived of as a working group and should not be tied down by revisiting debates that have already been democratically settled within SA. Those debates can be continued, if necessary, in the appropriate forums outside the board. This smaller board will continue the current work of the GLW-SA board, and also make a concerted effort to exploit the current resources - copy list, weblogs - to make progress on encouraging a diverse range of SA input into GLW and developing the GLW-SA partnership. The board will report as required to the NE on progress made towards this end. 4. Conference expresses its thanks to the GLW owners, editor and staff for their encouragement, cheerful cooperation, and commitment to the Socialist Alliance. 5. Conference recommends that in the light of the impetus the SA has received through this partnership the board encourages individual Alliance members who support this project to support it further by voluntarily contributing financially, voluntarily subscribing to, and voluntarily helping to distribute Green Left Weekly. 6. Conference recommends that SA branches, state committees, National Coordinating Committees and caucuses elect/appoint a comrade to liaise with the incoming GLW-SA board to advance input into and distribution of GLW. 11.5.1 Amendment to the SA-GLW Editorial Board resolution moved by Alex Miller: To amend the resolution number 3 to read: “… a smaller board consisting of at most 12 members, …”. Amendment adopted. 11.5.2 Amendment to the SA-GLW Editorial Board resolution moved by Lisa Macdonald: To add the sentence: “The 2005 National Conference instructs the SA-GLW Board to present a report on its work no later than six months from now, and earlier if it has any problems pursuing its charter.” Amendment adopted. 11.5.3 Procedural motion moved by Dave Riley: To vote on the SA-GLW Editorial Board resolution on bloc. Motion adopted.

SA-GLW Editorial Board resolution, as amended, adopted. It reads: 19 1. Conference recommends that the board continue its non-sectarian work of encouraging a pluralist and diverse range of voices and perspectives from within SA to publish in Green Left Weekly. 2.

11.6 Resolution on Green Left Weekly distribution submitted by Bernie Rosen (moved by Raul Bassi): That a recommendation be made to have Green Left Weekly sold at newsagencies. 11.6.1 Amendment to Bernie Rosen’s resolution on GLW distribution moved Nick Everett: To include: “…, bookshops and other distribution outlets” after “newsagencies”. Amendment adopted. 11.6.2 Amendment to Bernie Rosen’s resolution on GLW distribution moved Rohan Gaiswinkler: To include the words “try to” before “…have Green Left Weekly…”. Amendment adopted.

Greetings from Freedom Socialist Party (USA) were read to the conference. 12. Anti-war and International Solidarity (Chairperson: Melanie Sjoberg) 12.1 Raul Bassi reported on the National Executive resolutions on anti-war and international solidarity.

Procedural motion from the presiding committee: Nominations for the SA-GLW editorial board be opened immediately, with slates being nominated to be submitted in writing to the presiding committee by the end of the lunch break. Motion carried.

12.2 Resolutions on Anti-war and International Solidarity moved by the National executive: That conference adopt the following resolutions: Anti-war 1. That Socialist Alliance continues to build the anti-war movement, by building the broadest possible movement behind the "troops out" demand. Maintaining the focus on this critical demand is a way of keeping the pressure on the Howard government, which is using Australia’s troops in Iraq to signal its support for US unilateralist and global neo-liberal economic plunder plans. 2. That SA maintain and strengthen our work in the city-wide coalitions and local peace groups by collaborating with all those who are against the war, regardless of their political background or party affiliation. In particular we should seek to increase our collaboration with the Greens, and those Labor supporters who disagree with their party’s ambivalent position. 3. The future of the anti-war movement in this country lies with the youth and that’s why student and youth organising against the war, with a focus against war profiteers, is so vital to nurture and encourage. 4. Encourage the involvement of the trade unions and seek to involve more union members in the anti-war coalitions. That Socialist Alliance members motivate support within the anti-war coalitions for May Day rallies and marches, as well supporting as the June 30 rallies against Howard’s industrial relations attacks. In this way a closer link can be made between the anti-war movement and unionists. 5. That SA encourage anti-war coalitions to support the Hiroshima Day protests in early August, the 60th anniversary of Hiroshima, and that SA encourage anti-war coalitions to organise protests on what will be another international day of protest on the next anniversary of the invasion of Iraq on March 18-19, 2006. 6. Seek SA seek to increase collaboration, wherever possible, with the Arab and Muslim communities who are being scapegoat in the "war on terror". 20 7. That SA seek to continue to campaign to demand the release of David Hicks from Guantanamo Bay. 8. That SA demand that the charges against Jack Thomas be dropped because the evidence was extracted under torture. 9. That SA seek to engage a broader section of the peace movement in developing a greater understanding of the role and nature of US imperialism in Iraq and the Arab world by hosting debates, teach-ins and other relevant information sessions. 10. That SA support the campaign against the Forbes global CEO conference in Sydney on August 30. The anti-war movement across the eastern states has an important opportunity to draw some conclusions about the relationship between the neo-liberals’ corporate agenda and their methods of attaining it – war being "economics by other means". This protest is also a chance to make broader links, and capitalise on the mass dissent against privatisation and other neo-liberal economic policies. 11. Recognize that SA has built up a lot of political credibility in the anti-war movement arena and reaffirm the need for the democratic coordination of SA’s anti-war work nationally through the anti-war coordinating group, and on a district- or city-wide basis. This way we can maximize SA’s political profile, recruit to SA and build an even broader and more effective anti-war movement in this country. That we present a united face in the main peace movement events – such as rallies and public meetings, by holding SA placards, marching together behind a SA banner, working on the SA stall, handing out current SA leaflets and distributing Seeing Red. This does not preclude tendencies doing other work, as they see fit. 12. Support the campaign in Darwin and Brisbane against the joint military exercises Operation Talisman Sabre, and other military exercises between Australian Defence Forces and the US military. Also support the Fremantle Anti-Sea Swap campaign and oppose to the U.S. military’s use of the Lancelin bombing range. 13. That SA actively support the anti-war movement that is developing inside the Australian military. 14. To continue to work with the pro-Palestinian networks to assist in their campaigns against the apartheid wall, for the right of return for all Palestinians, to end the occupation, and for justice and self-determination. International solidarity 1. Oppose the military/security arrangements being discussed and agreed to between the Indonesian and Australian governments, keeping in mind that no Indonesian military officer has ever been extradited or imprisoned for charges relating to gross human rights violations committed in East Timor, Aceh and West Papua. The arrangements being discussed have as their aim the restoration of military ties, and to clamp down further on the struggles for self-determination in West Papua and Aceh. 2. Oppose the Indonesian government's misuse of tsunami aid for the victims of the earthquakes in Sumatra, the Australian government's manipulation of its "aid" package, and popularize the political and aid initiatives by grass-roots democratic organizations in Aceh and Indonesia. 3. Support the campaigns for self-determination by the peoples of West Papua and Aceh by working with those organisations building awareness in Australia about their struggles and the Australian government's attempts to secure greater economic and military domination in the South East Asian region. 4. Support the East Timorese demand for sovereign rights over all the oil and gas fields on the East Timorese side of the internationally accepted median line border between East Timor and Australia and oppose the Australian government's refusal to accept such a border, demanding instead an arbitrary border giving Australia most of the oil and gas fields. 5. Condemn the attempts by the Bush administration to assassinate the Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and overthrow the popularly elected Venezuelan government. Further, we defend Venezuela against the concerted efforts of the Bush regime to undermine its progress on implementing new social and economic programs beneficial for the poor people in the country. Support the Venezuela Solidarity Network initiative to organise the first Australian solidarity brigade to Venezuela, and its one-day conference scheduled for September in Melbourne. 6. Defend Cuba against efforts by the US administration to undermine its sovereign government, and campaign for the release of the Cuban Five unjustly imprisoned in the US. 7. Support the Social Forums taking place this year in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. 8. SA recognises that Tamils are an oppressed nation within Sri Lanka, and supports their right to self-determination. This means that Tamils should have the right to choose whether they wish to be part of a united Sri Lanka, to break away and form an independent Tamil state in their traditional homelands in the north and east of the island, or to have some intermediate form such as federalism or autonomy. Regardless of whether Sri Lanka remains a single state or whether the Tamil areas become independent, the rights of minorities must be protected. This includes the rights of Tamils, Muslims and other minorities in Sinhalese areas, and the rights of Muslims and Sinhalese in Tamil areas. SA calls for full political, religious and linguistic rights for such groups. 12.3 Amendment to the National Executive resolutions on anti-war moved by Alison Thorne and Peter Murray: Amendment by way of addition to resolution 1. Add after “…economic plunder plans.” “Socialists in the anti-war movement also need to explain clearly how capitalism breeds war. To this end, when Socialist Alliance members speak for Socialist Alliance within the anti-war movement, they make this connection clear.” Amendment defeated. 12.4 Amendment to the National Executive resolutions on International Solidarity moved by Carlene Wilson: To add a new point: 9. Socialist Alliance fully supports the annual Stop Killer Coke day of action by helping to build demonstrations and other actions nationally. Amendment adopted. 12.5 Amendment to the National Executive resolutions on International Solidarity moved by Vannessa Hearman: Replace point 4 with: “Support East Timor’s demand for delimitation of maritime boundaries with Australia, based on the internationally accepted median line principle, thus guaranteeing East Timor’s right to maritime sovereignty and the oil and gas resources located on the East Timorese side of such a boundary. The Socialist Alliance condemns the Australian government’s refusal to accept the median line principle and its continuing theft of oil and gas resources in the Timor Sea, that rightfully belong to East Timor.” Amendment adopted. 12.6 Amendment to National Executive resolutions on International Solidarity moved by Kim Bullimore: Add as point 10:

21 “The Socialist Alliance in Australia stands in solidarity with the people of Marda Village and other Palestinian villages in the Salfit District and the Occupied Territories in their non-violent campaign of direct action to stop the destruction of their land and fruit groves and to halt the building of the illegal apartheid wall on their land by the Israeli government of Ariel Sharon. We condemn the Israeli government and the Israeli occupation and security forces attacks on the peaceful protests.

12.10 Amendment to the National Executive resolutions on anti-war moved by Kieran Latty: Add to point 9 of the anti-war resolutions: Further, we aim to produce a pamphlet outlining the nature of the US occupation and why we call for all occupying troops to leave now. Amendment adopted.

National Executive resolution on anti-war and international solidarity, as amended, adopted. It reads: Anti-war 1. That Socialist Alliance continues to build the anti-war movement, by building the broadest possible movement behind the "troops out" demand. Maintaining the focus on this critical demand is a way of keeping the pressure on the Howard government, which is using Australia’s troops in Iraq to signal its support for US unilateralist and global neo-liberal economic plunder plans. 2. That SA maintain and strengthen our work in the city-wide coalitions and local peace groups by collaborating with all those who are against the war, regardless of their political background or party affiliation. In particular we should seek to increase our collaboration with the Greens, and those Labor supporters who disagree with their party’s ambivalent position. 3. The future of the anti-war movement in this country lies with the youth and that’s why student and youth organising against the war, with a focus against war profiteers, is so vital to nurture and encourage. 4. Encourage the involvement of the trade unions and seek to involve more union members in the anti-war coalitions. That Socialist Alliance members motivate support within the anti-war coalitions for May Day rallies and marches, as well supporting as the June 30 rallies against Howard’s industrial relations attacks. In this way a closer link can be made between the anti-war movement and unionists. 5. That SA encourage anti-war coalitions to support the Hiroshima Day protests in early August, the 60th anniversary of Hiroshima, and that SA encourage anti-war coalitions to organise protests on what will be another international day of protest on the next anniversary of the invasion of Iraq on March 18-19, 2006. 6. Seek SA seek to increase collaboration, wherever possible, with the Arab and Muslim communities who are being scapegoat in the "war on terror". 7. That SA seek to continue to campaign to demand the release of David Hicks from Guantanamo Bay. 8. That SA demand that the charges against Jack Thomas be dropped because the evidence was extracted under torture. 9. That SA seek to engage a broader section of the peace movement in developing a greater understanding of the role and nature of US imperialism in Iraq and the Arab world by hosting debates, teach-ins and other relevant information sessions. Further, we aim to produce a pamphlet outlining the nature of the US occupation and why we call for all occupying troops to leave now. 10. That SA support the campaign against the Forbes global CEO conference in Sydney on August 30. The anti-war movement across the eastern states has an important opportunity to draw some conclusions about the relationship between the neo-liberals’ corporate agenda and their methods of attaining it – war being "economics by other means". This protest is also a chance to make broader links, and capitalise on the mass dissent against privatisation and other neo-liberal economic policies. 11. Recognize that SA has built up a lot of political credibility in the anti-war movement arena and reaffirm the need for the democratic coordination of SA’s anti-war work nationally through the anti-war coordinating group, and on a district- or city-wide

22 basis. This way we can maximize SA’s political profile, recruit to SA and build an even broader and more effective anti-war movement in this country. That we present a united face in the main peace movement events – such as rallies and public meetings, by holding SA placards, marching together behind a SA banner, working on the SA stall, handing out current SA leaflets and distributing Seeing Red. This does not preclude tendencies doing other work, as they see fit. 12. Support the campaign in Darwin and Brisbane against the joint military exercises Operation Talisman Sabre, and other military exercises between Australian Defence Forces and the US military. Also support the Fremantle Anti-Sea Swap campaign and oppose to the U.S. military’s use of the Lancelin bombing range. 13. That SA actively support the anti-war movement that is developing inside the Australian military. 14. To continue to work with the pro-Palestinian networks to assist in their campaigns against the apartheid wall, for the right of return for all Palestinians, to end the occupation, and for justice and self-determination.. International solidarity 1. Oppose the military/security arrangements being discussed and agreed to between the Indonesian and Australian governments, keeping in mind that no Indonesian military officer has ever been extradited or imprisoned for charges relating to gross human rights violations committed in East Timor, Aceh and West Papua. The arrangements being discussed have as their aim the restoration of military ties, and to clamp down further on the struggles for self- determination in West Papua and Aceh. 2. Oppose the Indonesian government's misuse of tsunami aid for the victims of the earthquakes in Sumatra, the Australian government's manipulation of its "aid" package, and popularize the political and aid initiatives by grass-roots democratic organizations in Aceh and Indonesia. 3. Support the campaigns for self-determination by the peoples of West Papua and Aceh by working with those organisations building awareness in Australia about their struggles and the Australian government's attempts to secure greater economic and military domination in the South East Asian region. 4. Support East Timor’s demand for delimitation of maritime boundaries with Australia, based on the internationally accepted median line principle, thus guaranteeing East Timor’s right to maritime sovereignty and the oil and gas resources located on the East Timorese side of such a boundary. The Socialist Alliance condemns the Australian government’s refusal to accept the median line principle and its continuing theft of oil and gas resources in the Timor Sea, that rightfully belong to East Timor. 5. Condemn the attempts by the Bush administration to assassinate the Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and overthrow the popularly elected Venezuelan government. Further, we defend Venezuela against the concerted efforts of the Bush regime to undermine its progress on implementing new social and economic programs beneficial for the poor people in the country. Support the Venezuela Solidarity Network initiative to organise the first Australian solidarity brigade to Venezuela, and its one-day conference scheduled for September in Melbourne. 6. Defend Cuba against efforts by the US administration to undermine its sovereign government, and campaign for the release of the Cuban Five unjustly imprisoned in the US. 7. Support the Social Forums taking place this year in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. 8. SA recognises that Tamils are an oppressed nation within Sri Lanka, and supports their right to self-determination. This means that Tamils should have the right to choose whether they wish to be part of a united Sri Lanka, to break away and form an independent Tamil state in their traditional homelands in the north and east of the island, or to have some intermediate form such as federalism or autonomy. Regardless of whether Sri Lanka remains a single state or whether the Tamil areas become independent, the rights of minorities must be protected. This includes the rights of Tamils, Muslims and other minorities in Sinhalese areas, and the rights of Muslims and Sinhalese in Tamil areas. SA calls for full political, religious and linguistic rights for such groups. 9. Socialist Alliance fully supports the annual Stop Killer Coke day of action by helping to build demonstrations and other actions nationally. 10. The Socialist Alliance in Australia stands in solidarity with the people of Marda Village and other Palestinian villages in the Salfit District and the Occupied Territories in their non-violent campaign of direct action to stop the destruction of their land and fruit groves and to halt the building of the illegal apartheid wall on their land by the Israeli government of Ariel Sharon. We condemn the Israeli government and the Israeli occupation and security forces attacks on the peaceful protests. The 4th National Conference of the Socialist Alliance agrees to send a letter of greetings and solidarity to the Salfit Popular Committee Against the Wall and the Palestinian people of the Marda and the Salfit District of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. 11. Condemns the Philippines government whose personnel have been implicated in payoffs from illegal gambling; which appears to have rigged the recent presidential elections; and which has carried out policies of repression and impoverishment. We support the calls from Filipino working-class organisations for immediate mass popular mobilizations to bring down the government and move towards progressive and fundamental social change. Socialist Alliance sends comradely greetings to all those in the Philippines struggle for a socialist future.

Appendix 1 Greetings to the 2005 conference received in writing

My Dear Comrades, It is with a great sadness that I am forwarding these few words from the north, as I would have much rather preferred to have been there with you all – talking up the serious business and laying out our strategies and programs for the coming battles, post July one. However I have been directed by my Elders to attend the Festival of the Dreaming. This is our very first International Indigenous Arts Festival that is being held at Woodford over this very same weekend. As always I have to take orders from the senior women who run our community and I am now on site, doing serious cultural bizness with indigenous artists and performers from across the globe. Please let my aunties know that I am doing exactly what I was told to do. At the festival I will be running panels and workshops on the critical issues of Deaths In Custody, Police Powers and the urgent need for a Bill of Rights. I am looking forward to my sessions as I fully intend to use the stage to launch a massive, frontal attack on

24 the racist and corrupt machines that dominate our society and brutalise, terrorise and murder our people. Believe you me, our people are crying out for justice across this land and we will have justice, onetime !! I will also use my time on the stage to talk up the partnership that our community has established with the SA, at branch and national level. That has been a source of great comfort and strength to our people and in the uncertain times ahead – we will be building on that partnership up as we link arms and confront the tyrannical forces of the Howard regime. The SA has now become the only true political alternative within this nation, that has the vision, commitment and integrity to deliver real social justice to the indigenous people of this land and together – we will create a just society for all, a society that is based on true equality, true justice and true freedom. John Winston Howard, hear our cry and tremble as the masses rise up and sweep to the very gates of Canberra. That will happen. Yours in solidarity and revolutionary love to each and every comrade… SAM WATSON PROUD FOOT SOLDIER OF THE SOCIALIST ALLIANCE

***** Dear comrades in the Australian Socialist Alliance,

Greetings from the Sudanese Communist Party. We’d like to congratulate you for this conference and for the great work that you are doing in this country. Keep up your sruggle for better wages, conditions and the rights of workers, and for the rights of refugees, Indiegnous people and other oppressed. Let the dream be true! Abohoraira Ali For the Sudanese Communist Party (in Australia) *****

June 5, 2005 Socialist Alliance Dear Comrades, The U.S. Section of the Freedom Socialist Party sends warm greetings to the Fourth National Conference of Socialist Alliance and hearty congratulations for kicking off the National Union Fightback Conference. Here's to rousing the rightly angry unionists to stop Howard's anti-labor laws before they start. SA's growth, the launching of Seeing Red, and your important work against Aboriginal deaths in custody struggle are very impressive. As Seeing Red relates, the class struggle is heating up globally, so radical activists must work together for maximum strength and effectiveness. A united front, such as SA, is a powerful tool against the ruling class as it allows a common strategy to be adopted after variety of viewpoints and minority opinions are debated. As we see it, any changes to SA's operation should be based on programmatic discussion, rather than on structural changes that could squelch dissenting voices. Retaining representation on leadership bodies for all groups and ensuring a voice for minorities is essential to maintaining a democratic organization that leftists can support with their time, energy and money. Socialist Alliance's electoral politics help show the way to a better system. In the U.S., we are once again running Freedom Socialist Party candidate Linda Averill for Seattle City Council. In 2003, Linda garnered 11% of the vote in a field of six, and had the endorsement of most Seattle socialist groups. Averill is challenging a pro-corporate incumbent with issues such as: taxing freeloading corporations, fighting militarism, improving women's lives with better pay and childcare, $17/hour minimum wage and public ownership of essential services and major industries. Her platform demonstrates what voters should expect and gives them hope. The U.S. Section of FSP looks forward to supporting our Australian comrades in working for local candidates. Stubborn Iraqi resistance against U.S. occupation demonstrates that imperialism and capitalism create their own destroyers. The efforts of parties and activists in our two countries to hasten the end of the profit system is essential if we are to rid the planet of capitalism's arrogant, brutal power. Together, we can all be part of building a new socialist world. In Solidarity, Henry Noble National Secretary, U.S. Section
