Re: More on the WA ETU elections

From the Socialist Party newspaper interview with Bill Game:
SP:This is excellent Bill.The working
class needs more of your kind -militant
union leaders involving the rank and file in
struggle.What do you think of the Rank and
File victory in the MUA WA elections?

That's fanzine style interviewing, not socialist politics. Sucking up to
the person you're interviewing. Not that the interview wasn't
interesting, or that I don't like Bill Game, just commenting on the
journalistic style. Surely I'm not the only one here who finds it
off-putting.
