Pick a Pollie - Who Are Our Friends?

Date: 20 April 2000

Labor Council went to Macquarie Street this week to brief Labor MPs on our shift to an organising culture. Just 32 of the 71 members elected to represent the workers of NSW turned up. Who were they??

Now we're not the sort of publication to hold a witch-hunt, but we reckon that this was the sort of event that any politician interested in trade unions would line up to attend.

Those who made it received a thorough briefing on Organising and an overview of new opportunities to work with trade unions.

Rather than running the list of attendees, we're offering you the chance to pick the Labor MPs who came along. And there's a special Unions 2000 cap if you pick an apology.

Simply click the email button below and enter the name of a Labor member, specifying whether you think they turned up or didn't attend. Make sure you leave a street address.

We'll send a special souvenir 'Howards End' T-shirt to those who get it right. Our only clue is that just five of those present were Ministers.

And we'll publish the winners and losers - along with their selections - in the next issue.
