Socialist campaign office opens

CHARLESTOWN, NSW — The newly opened campaign headquarters for the
Socialist Alliance's election campaign for the seat of Charlestown in the
March 22 NSW election is attracting the attention of voters. The windows
of the shop are plastered with “Books not bombs”, “No war on Iraq” and
“Fund social services not war” posters.

Socialist Alliance candidate Kathy Newnam told Green Left Weekly
that even as the office was being set-up, passers-by were dropping in to
pick up anti-war material.

Located on a busy street, with the Charlestown Mall just a few metres
away, the office is an excellent way to get the message out about Socialist
Alliance's call to “make the state election a referendum on the war”, Newnam
added.

The office is situated at 28 Smart Street, Charlestown (formerly the
Smith Family Op Shop).
