Mike Crook
SANDGATE
A member of the ALP for 20 years,
Mike recently joined the Socialist
Alliance, having become increasingly
disenchanted with the ALP's anti-
worker, pro-corporate agenda.
Mike became radicalised when
working on mining and construction
projects, becoming active in the
unions and quickly seeing how most
employers had no interest in the
safety of their workers, witnessing
horrific accidents.
Mike recently participated in a brigade
to Venezuela, and seeing
participatory, grassroots democracy,
was convinced that the future lies in
mobilizing people for socialist change.
Mike has been a steering committee
member and activist on the Your
Rights At Work campaign committee
which was instrumental in kicking out
the Howard government, and has
campaigned tirelessly for industrial
rights.

frequent. We can afford it, we can do it.
Solve Brisbane's shocking congestion once
and for all without more tunnels and bridges.
No to duplicating the Houghton Hwy - extend
rail services to Redcliffe.
2. Quality universal health care
and housing for all - starting with a full,
truly independent restructure of QLD Health -
not cover-ups and corruption. Fewer
bureaucrats, more frontline health workers.
Embark on a massive expansion of public
housing to address waiting lists and
homelessness.
3. Genuine justice for Indigenous
Australia, not shameless implementation of
damaging and racist policies inherited from the
Howard era. Pay stolen wages immediately
and in full.
4. A government genuinely
accountable to the people.
Community councils and referenda, not fake
“consultation”. An end to cronyism and the
pollies' gravy-train, and an end to corporate
interests buying favour and manipulating
democracy. Why are so many highly-paid
lobbyists former ALP M.P.s and bureaucrats?
5. Create a green economy for
QLD - as the biggest coal producer in the
world, QLD must lead the fight against climate
change and a just transition for workers in the
move to renewable energies.
