Twin Problems in the Twin Towns TRANSPORT ISSUES IN ALBURY AND WODONGA

In fact all the freight now carried by trucks on the Hume Highway could be carried on just over 10 extra freight trains per day. (quote from Public Tranport User Association Newsletter, July 1998)

Albury residents are campaigning for the withdrawal of plans for a freeway which threaten to cut the town in half.

Wodonga residents are campaigning against a propoasl to close their rail station.

The Save our Cities Group recognises that Albury's most pressing problem is the increase in heavy freight traffic that roars through the city day and night. It believes that incentives to move freight by rail would solve this problem, emphasising that rail offers a far more energy-efficient, quieter and safer solution than road freight. The freeway proposal is estimated to cost $200 million. The Wodonga Train Group are campaigning against the State Government spending $45 million to take a railway crossing out as this will really mean closing the Wodonga station. The Trains Group is advocating using the $45 million to rehabilitate the standard gauge line to Melbourne.

B-Double and B-Triple. TRUCKS MEASURING 36.5 METRES ON FREEWAYS AND COUNTRY ROADS ??

"B Doubles" have already been trialled, and "B Triples" are about to be trialled. NO ! these are not the names of new actors in the ABC's Bananas in Pyjamas, they are the names given to out-sized trucks. Maybe you, already, have met a "B.Double" monster on a freeway or country road - a "B.Double" is one prime mover pulliii two trailers (about the length of one and a half semi-trailers.-a "B.Triple" will be 36.5 metres in length, twice as long as semi-trailer. Environment Victoria and the Australian Railway Association (ARA; the peak industry body for the rail industry in Australia and NZ) have joined forces and are keen to work with other groups to influence government policy on a wide range of transport policies both urban and non-urban, both freight and passenger. For more details of B-triple see the RACV magazine., of course the RACV is enthusiatic about their USe. (For more information about how the community is campaigning against B Double and B Triples phone or call :-Environment Victoria at 19 O'Connell Street, North Melbourne 3051, phone 9348.9044 and/or call or phone the Public Transport User Association, ground floor, Roos House, 247 Flinders Lane MelbourneO

Linking the Unions and the Community Contributed by Peter Gibbons (Chair of Crow Collection and Organiser AMWU)

A lot has been written about the broad support for the Maritime Union of Australia and the waterfront dispute against Patricks.

Throughout the history of trade unions in Australia major disputes have been supported by broad community alliances with the union members who are directly involved in the dispute

Circumstances vary in each dispute but the common factor is the recognition that the particular dispute has some, or will have some broader effect upon the community in general.

Various support bodies have come and gone over the years, for example the Women's Auxiliaries of the Miners' Federation, the Waterside Union and the Railway Union, direct support from Credit Unions, Co-operatives for food and finance, broad based support fund organisation. In the past these movements have had particular strength in well defined localities. These types of alliances are reappearing and new, broader-based alliances are forming for the first time.

The political and industrial change, we have seen in the past 20 years, is the major factor for this development. Large areas of provincial Australia have seen both jobs and state services disappear. Strong campaigns have developed to retain jobs and services in these rural localities. Coupled with this, the decline of manufacturing industry in major metropolitan centres has increased the pressure on job availability and flowed through to the down-grading of service industries such as public transport, port services and so on. There is no planned replacement of the jobs lost. We must continue to foster the alliance between workers in the trade unions and the broader community because workers are the community.

ECOSO SUPPLEMENT

Included with thiA Ecobo iA a iouA-page Supplement. It includeA a chant on Relationship* Between Social MovementA, and an aAticle On the Wateiront: LeAAonA irom the u)ateriront DiApute (lepuMtAhed (/torn NexuA).

The chant bhowb that although diiierent movementA represent a dwenAity oi social intereAtA, goalA and political approaches theAe iA a profound convergence and compiimentaAity oi the iaAic conce/uiA, preclAely iecauAe they represent reAponAeA to diHerent oApectA oi the undeAiAaiility oi exiAting social btAuctuAeA. Note :- Potentially, the iaiouA movement haA some common ground with every other social movement on the Chant.

Retrieval of Bits and Pieces

VANCE PALMER ON MULTICULTURALISM - A VOICE FROM THE PAST

From the ieginning, the Australian community has easily assimilated the small ireshets oi European migration that came to it and they have left no diAtinguiAaUe manhs on itA characteA. In some reApectA it would have ieen ietter ii they had. It iA true that government can ie carried out on more eiiiciently with a homogeneouA population, speaking one language and having one tradition oi law; iut the smooth working oi laws and instltutionA iA not the only thing to ie taken into account. AuAtraUan Uie today would ie richer ii it had ieen aUe to draw on a greater vaAiety oi immlgrantA; on the diiierent cultures oi people who would have each ieen aUe to contriiute something oi HA own to the national leing. ..Although Australia has not ieneiited iy the migration oi groups who might have irought with them thelA communal ants and craffts, it has undoubtedly had its cAeative energies quickened iy individuals oi iorelgn Hood. To realise thiA, one has only to glance ai a llAt oi people who have shown distinction in the arts and sciences irom Lawson to Hans Heysen irom Baron von Muller to General MonaAh. (Quote from "The Legend of the Nineties by Vance Plamer published by MU Press 1954. Emphasis added by Ecoso,)

SPEAKING OUT ON MATTERS OF CONCERN TO WESTERN REGION

The Chancellor oi the Victoria University oi Technology has writen to the Minister oi Planning expressing concern over the lack oi recognition given to views oi local Western Region residents regarding the proposed toxic landfall.

AND VUT Deputy Vice Chancellor, Paul Clark, has puliicly expressed concenn over the Same issue. Speaking at a graduation ceremony in May he said :-:

Victoria University considers that ii a community is so clearly opposed to a development oi this hind on its doorstep, it should have the right to say no to that development.... the University has an important role to play in Serving the local community and this means sometimes leing oiiiged to Speak out on issues oi concern to people o(, the WesteAn Region ... We agree with the people oi WerrUee that the* Western Region must no longer ie regarded as a dumping ground ior Melioume recuse. ... the University has made these views clear to the Government and would continue to do so aA long as the community oi WerrUee iA threatened. (Front page article in "Nexus" published by Victoria University of Technology).

MORGAGES - A CRITICAL FACTOR FOR PRIME MINISTER HOWARD

It was not the mortgage that domesticated the 1950s iut the growing Sense oi certainty that a mortgage could ie paid. For John Howard hoping to emulate Menzies achelvements, this iA a critical iactor that iA no longer hiA to deliver,. (from David Glanz "The Paper House" by David Glanz "Eureka Street" Vol 8, No 6, Juky/Aug. 1998,)

Radical Politics THE FALTERINGS OF A THIRD WAY

The last Ecoso (No 2/48, June 1998), included an article about the final meeting of the Rainbow Alliance and another one on the launching of The Reds. In this Ecoso we are complementing these two articles by reprinting some paragraphs from an essay by Boris Frankel entitled Radical Politics.. The Falterings of the Third Way. (published in Arena 35, June/July 1998)

Boris was one of the foundation members of the RA. He states :-The RA was not a traditional iefjt party cross-dressing in green or in other new social movment clothes. Vet it too iailed, even though it had aiAoried valuaile lessons {/torn the earUer struggles oi loth the old working class parties and the new social movements originating in the 1960s.

He states one of the aims of his essay ... It iA appropriate to examine why radical organisations such as the Ralniow Alliance died and what the possiiilitieA are ior a new radical political iorce emerging in contemporary AuAtralia.

Referring to the recent MUA strike. .. Despite the encouraging display oi union and community resistance, what is ovenlooked iA that leyond the wharves, in contrast to militant unionism oi earlier decades, there are no large radical organiSaUonA capaUe oi moiillAing people to challenge the major pantieA

In his conclusions he states. . . The survival oi a strong union movement is vital. But it should not ie coniuAed with the development oi a political movement which ireaks the economic rationalist iramework which still goveAns ALP policies.

He expresses his pessimism about the current situation... In contrast to widespread calls ior a new radical politics in the eaAly to mid-1980s, the 1990s Saw radical politics reduced to defensive anti-economic rationalist policy demands that ianely articulated altennative socio-economic and political cultural visions and strategies.... any illusions alout their effectiveness in the iace oi

) ruthless governments such as Kennett's has long ieen dispelled.

He then presents some of reasons for being pessimistic... Future historians will delate whether economic rationalist politics could have ieen stopped during the 1980s or whether gloial iorces and domestic neo-lileAal zealots were inevitaliy going to triumph. Similarly, historians will evaluate whether more patience, political insight and co-operation could have surmounted the comUnaHon oi peAAonalitieA, divisive agendas and uniavouAalie socio-cultural conditions that all prevented a ihiAd political iorce irom ireahing the mould oi party politics in contemporary AuAtralia.

He calls for a different way of being political... The new market rules oi the game requiAe a dliierent type oi political response not yet Seen in AuAtralia. (Emphasis added by Ecoso.. its crucial to heed this challenge !)

There are glimpses of hope in his final paragraph, but only gl impses . . PeAhaps there iA still an outside chance that the new spirit oi resistance and iorthcoming iederal election may prove to ie a catalyst ior the survival oi a third iorce... Perhaps in the aitenmath oi the wateriront dispute there will ie less hostility ietween the "greens" and rhe "reds". NeedleAS to say, any such electoral success would ie short-lived without the subsequent development oi a iroad-iased grass roots movement which tackles domestic political economic, cultural


and ecological proiiems within the context oi gloiUAation... it iA the level oi extra-parUamentary activity in ietwen elections that ultimately defines the diiierence ietween alternative political movements. ... RegaAdlesS oi where one thinks the new agents oi social change will come irom, one can ie certain that despite gloiallAation and the needs ior new political responses there can never ie an entirely new political wheel. Most likely a certain numier oi the old spokeA will need to ie re~invented. In this respect ioth the negative and positive expeAiences oi the Ralniow Alliance will continue to ie relevant. (Ecoso emphasis).

Shaping Victoria's Future COMMUNITY SUMMIT - PEOPLE TOGETHER PROJECT

Resolution on the Widening Gap.

In Australia the gap is widening and it does not have to be this way. A freeh message needs to be spread widely.

Our Message is :-

Australia is a community not a market. Our governments are trustees of the common wealth, not vendors of it.

We acknowledge markets as one part of how a community thrives. If the rules of the market alone govern a community they will destroy it.

A community looks after its own. Markets, through competition set each of us against the other. Winners take all and losers despair.

Insecure, we become fearful. Fear makes us reluctant to defend what we sense is slipping away; that vague notion that Australia is a place that gives everyone a fair go.

Despair and insecurity are not economically rational. Fear stymies prosperity.

Every person can legitimately expect food and shelter, care in sickness, defence at law, dignity at work, and the opportunities and pleasures that education opens.

The land that abounds in natures gifts can afford to provide at least these basic needs for all of us. To this end tax, equitably reckoned is legitimately sought from us all.

The shared business of citizens, directly and through elected representatives is to debate with tolerance the best way to shape events together to meet every person's basic needs.

Before events shape us and our country into something we hardly recognise, and find difficult to love.

WE MUST ACT TOGETHER TO BRIDGE THE WIDENING GAP.

(Emphasis added by Ecoso) The people Together Project is a community effort which works to promote a caring society. It is chaired by Jean McCaughey and Ben Bodna (03.9347.0022)
