Steven TrippHOST
But what about the Greens and Animal Justice and the
Sam BuonoPANELIST
Socialist Alliance and all those sorts of parties? But generally, if you vote, it's a bit like Senate voting.
Sam BuonoPANELIST
If you vote one, say one for the Libertarians and Steve, one for the libertarians? No, I'm not going to start that.
Sam BuonoPANELIST
I'm trying to say one, but you must have a backstop.
Sue BoltonGUEST
Currently, I'm a fourth term councillor at the Merribeck Council.
Sue BoltonGUEST
I was elected as a Socialist Alliance member, representative, and I've That experience has shown me that it's really only when communities get organised that politicians, in my case councillors, listen to them.
Sue BoltonGUEST
And that's what I see my role as being, as a councillor, as being a bit like a union delegate, where you bring people together to speak with their own voice, to put the pressure on the council to do the right thing.
Yousef El RimawiHOST

Now stay tuned to hear the rest of your 3CR podcast.
Yousef El RimawiHOST
So now I would like to talk about the campaign.
Yousef El RimawiHOST
Now, the campaign is for Socialist Alliance.
Yousef El RimawiHOST
And if you don't mind, I might read some of what's written on the pamphlets.
Chris SmithHOST
This is Chris Smith on 2SM and the Super Radio Network.
Chris SmithHOST
Well, you can thank those conniving activists attached to the Socialist Alliance for the latest disrespectful student rally being held on a solemn day of remembrance in this country.
Chris SmithHOST
It's a day set aside to honour Australia's fallen and will now be at the centre of a political row after student groups announced yesterday it will march against capitalism and one nation across six major cities on Remembrance Day.
Chris SmithHOST
Capitalism.
Chris SmithHOST
Now, there's a wise idea.
Chris SmithHOST
If you're that committed to the cause, do it on your own time.
Chris SmithHOST
Or does that defeat the purpose of scoring another bludgy day off? The student group High School Anti-Capitalists, supported by the Socialist Alliance, says November 11 was chosen by coincidence and insists its demonstrations will be peaceful despite drawing inspiration from unrest in France.
Chris SmithHOST
Really? From France? As if all that burning, looting and vandalism is something they should all look up to.
speaker_1HOST
Sarah had recently commented on the very horrific attack on elected independent MP Helen Haynes.
speaker_1HOST
You raised a number of comments in an article that you published for Green Left with Sue Bolton, who's also running as a Socialist Alliance candidate for the upcoming Victorian elections.
speaker_1HOST
What are your comments on how the right wing and the establishment has weaponised the attack on Helen Haynes?
Sarah HathwayGUEST
Yeah, I think it's pretty outrageous how quickly the right wing and mainstream media were to essentially take a couple of posts on social media and history of limited history of environmental advocacy and sensationalise it to greenie pro-Hamas activist runs down an MP.

speaker_1HOST
well thanks for that um sarah um do you have any kind of like final comments that you would like to end on
Sarah HathwayGUEST
Look, my headliner is One Nation is not the alternative, but look, I'm sure 3CR listeners don't need convincing of that.
Sarah HathwayGUEST
But for any listeners out there that are feeling a bit demoralised or looking for a political party to support, I would encourage them to look up Socialist Alliance and get involved with our campaigns either in Melbourne or Geelong so we can put a real alternative out there to the crises that we're facing.
speaker_0NARRATOR
I hope you got a lot out of this episode.
Sarah Hanson-YoungGUEST
Oh, yeah.

Oh,
Anthony AlbanesePANELIST
You can listen to the Leader of the Opposition for the moment himself.
Anthony AlbanesePANELIST
Because on Saturday, he went along to a CPAC conference, which would be the equivalent of a Labor Party leader going to a Socialist Alliance rally.
Anthony AlbanesePANELIST
He went along there to this far-right gathering there in Brisbane.
Anthony AlbanesePANELIST
And he said that the government that he was a senior minister in spent too much money during COVID, allowed in too many temporary migrants...

Welcome back, listeners.
speaker_1HOST
You are listening to Green Left Radio on 3CR, and we're really excited to be joined by Sue Bolton, a member of Socialist Alliance National Executive.

She is also a long-term Merri-bek councilor and is standing for Socialist Alliance in Broadmeadows in the upcoming Victorian elections.
speaker_1HOST
Welcome to the show, Sue.
Sue BoltonGUEST
Hi.
speaker_1HOST
What motivated you to run as a candidate for Broadmeadows at this state election?
Sue BoltonGUEST
Well, uh, uh, part of the Broadmeadows electorate includes the northern suburbs of Merri-bek, which is Fawkner, Hadfield and Glenroy, where I've sort of done a lot of work on various issues, as well as the suburbs of Broadmeadows, Coolaroo, Dallas and Campbellfield.
Sue BoltonGUEST
And this election, it's really important for the s-socialists to put forward Socialist Alliance and Victorian socialists to put forward an alternative, a left alternative to the major parties.
Joe ToscanoHOST
