Fremantle Herald: "Socialist Shines in Debate"

The May 8 Fremantle Herald reported that "Socialist Alliance candidate Sam Wainwright had them eating out of his hand during Tuesday night's Fremantle by-election debate when he called for a roll-back of privatisation". This was the first sentence in the front page article that also featured a prominent picture of Wainwright along with other photos from the debate.

The page three article reported "Sam Wainwright was the name on people's lips as they tramped out of Notre Dame university's drill hall following Tuesday night's by-election debate.

"Quizzed on a range of topics by both political guru Peter Kennedy and a 300-strong audience the wharfie drew cheers with his call for a rollback of privatised utilities.

"His open hostility to the North Port Quay proposal also won loud approval

" 'I live in Australia and we don't need to privatise the ocean ... if NPQ want a sustainable village build it in Armadale or Midland where they need it,' he said to cheers and applause." (Fremantle Herald, May 8)
