In their own words

We need a socialist alternative to the mainstream parties and the racist, divide-and-rule politics of One Nation; one that will always fight on the side of workers and the oppressed, no matter where they are. Hi, I'm Lachie. I'm a support worker and a uni student, and I grew up in the Latrobe Valley and the Bass Coast.
