Change the Rules election campaign kicks off in Boothby

Media Release - March 21, 2019

Working people and volunteers from in and around the electorate of Boothby, which centers on Southern Adelaide will gather on Thursday evening to kick off the Change the Rules election campaign.

Last year, Australian workers took to the streets in record numbers to change the rules so that working people can win a fair go, fair pay rises, and jobs we can count on.

To Change the Rules, we need to change the government. This year we are moving from winning the argument to winning the fight.

Boothby is currently held by LNP MP Nicole Flint on a margin of 7.1%.

Where: Club Marion, Hills Rooms, 262 Sturt Road, Marion South Australia (parking at Westfield Marion)

When: Thursday 21 March, 6pm (interviews can be arranged between 5.30 and 6pm)

Quotes attributable to ACTU Secretary Sally McManus:

“People in Adelaide need good, secure jobs and fair pay rises but the Morrison Government and big business are standing in the way of this. We are ready to restore the fair go.

“We are ready to take action to change the government and win more secure jobs and fair pay rises.

“Anyone who wants to live in a better, fairer country, who wants more secure jobs and fairer pay rises should attend these events and join the movement for change.”
