Mount Coot-tha Labor This is the Public page for the ALP (QLD) Mount Coot-tha Branch. Why become a Member?? Why Join Labor?

This Page is used for public communication and organising activities for our ALP (QLD) Mount Coot-tha Branch Members, to the general Public in our community, and to interested friends and visitors to the Branch. We will be listing our Branch Events, Branch Notices of Meetings and Branch Motions, as well as other Branch messages & opinions here on this Page, to better enhance member engagement and

community engagement on what our Branch is up to in our local neighbourhoods and to communicate what we believe in, as a Branch. We will also be sharing Labor Party messages, events and memes/info-graphics of interest to Branch Members.

Most people over 15 years of age and living in Queensland can join the Australian Labor Party. Have your Say

3. Talk Politics
- As a member you will receive regular briefings to keep you up-to-date with what’s happening behind the headlines and why. Membership means you will always hear the real story.

4. Learn New Skills
- Help make the news, not just read about it. By taking part in ‘members only’ political training and campaigning skill development, you’ll be doing your bit to change public opinion on the issues that matter, not just a bystander.

5. Take the next step

Whether you’re from a Labor family, are a committed unionist, have always voted Labor, or share our values, then joining Queensland Labor is the next natural step! With conservative governments at all levels it’s time to get off the sidelines and take up the fight.

We need your help. If you care about the future of our communities, if you've had enough of the cruelty, cuts, ideology and lies of the LNP Government, if you want to make a difference and fight for what's right, we're asking for your help. You don't need to be a Labor party member, you don't even have to have voted for Labor at the last election - you just have to care enough to stand up for what's right. Campbell Newman's government is going to outspend us at this election, but what they don't have is people power. People like you who care enough to put your hand up and volunteer. It might be something as small and simple as helping us get the word out on social media, or as big as helping us to door knock and talk to people, but any contribution you make will be valuable. If you care about our future, now is the time to act.

Wonderful mob, our government.  Please sign this if you are disgusted.

Qantas could stop deporting refugees back to harm. It's choosing not to.

We need to make sure absolutely everyone knows this.

You're not going to believe this, but on top of it being the hottest Australian summer ever recorded, the Federal Government's climate report card has been released, and the country once again gets a big fat 'F' for fail. 🤦‍♀️

We've broken it down for you:

⦁ Newly released figures show there’s been another increase in greenhouse gas pollution in the year to September 2018.

⦁ Greenhouse gas pollution has now been rising for more than 3 years.

⦁ Under the Abbott, Turnbull and Morrison governments, pollution levels have risen year on year.

⦁ This week we’ve seen the Federal Government recycling a failed policy, the Emissions Reduction Fund.

⦁ That policy never tackled fossil fuels, the main contributor to climate change, so pollution has kept rising.

⦁ Without effective policy, Australia’s pollution will keep rising.

⦁ We are further away than ever from meeting our 2030 Paris climate commitments

There’s been no leadership on climate change and this is the result. We'll continue to keep holding the Federal Government to account on this, because Australia is highly vulnerable to climate change.

If the Federal Government is to protect Australians from worsening impacts of climate change like the record-breaking heat we've seen this summer, Australia needs to have a strong and credible climate policy.

And the same in Oz. a timely reminder!

On this , we share resources for teaching about organized labor. https://zinnedproject.org/teaching-materials/?themes=labor Included are lessons and articles that challenge many of the myths and omissions. For example, did you know that 5 out of 10 of the demands at the March on Washington were about labor rights and the March was born out of the struggle for the rights of Black workers?
The beautiful poster on this page is by activist artist Ricardo Levins Morales. Support the labor of artists -- order a copy of the poster today! http://www.rlmartstudio.com/product/labor-movement/
Make sure the next generation learns this history. Help us reach more classrooms with free people's history lessons: https://zinnedproject.org/donate/
