I got my first letter published in The Age today:

Garrett revisited

CATH Bowtell – Labor’s new candidate for the federal seat of Melbourne – may well believe in same-sex marriage, workers’ rights, a fair go for refugees and everything else (The Age, 6/7). But her party does not. Any organisation that can turn Peter Garrett from staunch advocate for the environment and social justice into a faint echo of his former life should have no problems eliminating Ms Bowtell’s beliefs in less than a single term. Progressive Melbourne voters know that our Labor MPs do not stand up for us. This will not change with a new face.
