Summary

Trade unionists, socialists and community activists face smears from the corporate right-wing press almost everyday, but these last few weeks have been particularly intense. We will talk with Sue Bolton, the Socialist Alliance Councillor for Moreland City Council, about the media backlash against herself and other rally organisers following the anti-racism rally on May 28th. We will also explore the ongoing industrial dispute between the State Government and the United Firefighters' Union and the role of the media and the coalition have played in dividing career and volunteer firefighters.
