A true worker’s democracy in Bundaberg would mean bypassing politicians to take decisions directly with a vote of the people.
Workplaces would be democratic, instead of relying on bosses, capitalists and managers; workers would make decisions collectively.
Imagine a Bundaberg based on human rights, a Bundaberg that unlocked the equal potential of all its citizens.
A Bundaberg free of politicians and politician’s promises.
A Bundaberg where everyone is recognised as equal.
This is not simply a pipe dream, it is an achievable goal, if only the great many would revolt against the few who hold wealth and power.
The mayor, the Bundaberg state and federal politicians are all pleased with the status quo.
They are helping the bosses line their pockets at the expense of a worker’s democracy.
Bundaberg is a rich region, both agriculturally, in terms of natural beauty and in terms of the industry of our people.
There is no reason we can’t establish a worker’s democracy here as the envy of the rest of Australia and the world.
The citizens of Bundaberg shouldn’t wait for distant people and countries to strike out first and establish a worker’s democracy.
We should act first and set Bundaberg as an example to the rest of Australia and indeed the rest of the world.
