Green Left Weekly and the GST


With the introduction of the GST on July 1, we will be forced to increase
the price of Green Left Weekly. This will be the first price increase
for GLW since August 1995.

Through the GST, the government will take one 11th of GLW's sales
income. As a not-for-profit newspaper, Green Left is unable to absorb
that expense and maintain the current price.

The new official cover price will be $2.20.

We are also introducing a special “solidarity price” of $3, which includes
an 80 cent donation to GLW. We hope that as many buyers as possible
will give the solidarity price as that little extra income per paper will
be a considerable help in meeting our rising production costs, and enable
us to maintain the professional presentation and unique content of the
paper.

The ongoing viability of GLW as a high quality alternative news
source relies a great deal on the generous financial contributions of those
who read and support the paper. Every donation makes a difference.

We believe that readers of the paper will continue to appreciate the
invaluable role that GLW plays as Australia's leading progressive
and radical news weekly. As GLW nears its 10th year in production,
the paper maintains its commitment to all struggles for justice, here and
around the world. With your help, we will meet that commitment.
