2009 Congress of The Communist Party of Australia (Stalinist)

Under discussion at the 2009 Congress of The Communist Party of Australia (Stalinist)is a plebiscite sponsored by the Newcastle (N.S.W.) Branch denouncing the government's proposed Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) for Australia. The Congress passed the resulting resolution and a climate fightback campaign will be launched in December. The slogan for the campaign 'the bigger the boot the smaller the (carbon) footprint' was chosen by delegates to bring attention to both the climate and the taxing issue of boots.

Addendum

ahem. I have been asked to point out that since respectively 1991 and 2001 the Communist Party of Australia and the Communist Party of Australia (Marxist-Leninist) have had no affiliation with the Communist Party of Australia (Stalinist) and any resolutions made by the Stalinist faction have no authority on the above parties.


Addendum 2 (22 Oct.)
cough.. the Communist Party of Australia (Stalinist) have asked me to make it clear that opposition to the proposed ETS does not indicate that they are not concerned about climate change, in fact the obverse. However they do not believe that a 'bosses' scheme that does not involve firstly the workers control of all means of production, distribution and exchange is merely a smokescreen that will allow the ruling class to continue both to pollute and to make the workers pay more for that very pollution.
