TAFE Bulletin re Defending Public Services Doorknocking Campaign – 12 February 2015

  12 February 2015

The PSA’s first doorknocking event took place last Saturday in the seat of Port Stephens.

The event brought ɫ������members from TAFE and ADHC together to spend a Saturday morning doorknocking the neighbourhoods of Raymond Terrace to raise awareness of the Baird Government’s aggressive privatisation agenda.

ɫ������members did not ask people to vote for one party over another, but rather that they “pledge” to consider the consequences of the privatisation of the Vocational Education and Training sector and the attacks on TAFE when they vote.

The day was a wonderful success with 167 members of the general public pledging to be mindful of the perils of privatisation when they vote on March 28.
