On Friday 2nd of May a surprising number of different grounds came together is a show of solidarity over rising prices. It was the beginning of things to come. A forum on Poverty is being planned by this new group of activists. Amongst their concerns are public transport costs and Abolition of GST on essentials plus increased pensions. It was clear from the speakers that there is much disenchantment with main stream parties but there was also criticism of the Greens. People want to know where those who run for high office stand on the the fundamental issues that brought the various groups together for a Cost of living Rally.
