Bush Attacks Aussie Health Care System

Call to Senate to block free trade deal
July 21, 2004

Leading unions, doctors and welfare groups are urging the Senate to block the free trade agreement (FTA) with the United States.

Launching a joint statement today calling on the Senate to block enabling legislation when it is debated next month, the groups will also send a copy to federal parliamentarians.

Among the signatories are the ACTU, Combined Pensioners and Superannuants Association of NSW, Australian Conservation Foundation, Public Health Association of Australia, Doctors' Reform Society and the Australian Council of Social Service.

"Why does (Prime Minister) John Howard want Australians to give away thousands of manufacturing jobs and to gift wrap our future wealth from intellectual property?," ACTU president Sharan Burrow said.

When are the Australian elections? Howard needs to GO. Regime change for Australia!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bush is a curse on the entire planet. I was thinking about moving out of the country if he's re-selected but nobody can escape him. I wonder what horror he has in store for the people of Moroco in the trade deal they're passing. With B-PARTISIAN SUPPORT because it's being supported by the "fucking Democratic traitor leadership council".
