"For the past twenty years, working people have suffered under economic rationalist policies. While billions of dollars have ended up in the hands of the rich, we have suffered neglected schools, run-down hospitals and a dilapidated welfare system. We now have a chance to give Howard the kicking he deserves. But there should be no free kick to Labor. The ALP would do well to remember that bosses need workers, but we have no use for them." — Ian Jamieson, Socialist Alliance candidate for Fremantle.
