Annolies Truman

Socialist Alliance candidate for Pearce

Why I am standing

Strangely, more than half the candidates standing for Pearce do not live in the electorate, including the sitting member.
I am well known in the Hills area as a peace campaigner.
When the invasion of Iraq was being organised I was outraged that such blatant lies could be used to justify killing.
I helped found the Hills No War Alliance, which is the most successful suburban anti-war group in Perth.
Now, I find myself standing as a candidate because peace, social justice and truth in government have become such vital issues.

Important issues in my electorate

Create a properly funded, democratically managed Commission for Sustainablity to mobilise local communities to tackle environmental problems.
Only such a Commission could deal with the problems of salinity in our wheat lands.

Pay wheat farmers for wheat that has been delivered to Iraq.

Repeal all "anti-terrorist" legislation.
