The Australian Broad Left Network is an email group devoted to fostering discussion and exchange on the 'broad' Australian Left. By 'broad' we refer to a range of perspectives from the revolutionary through to democratic socialist/social democratic and Green orientations. The group aims to serve not only as a forum for the discussion of current affairs,left strategy, theory and organisational issues, but also for grassroots democracy and mobilisation within left parties and organisations. Through encouraging co-operation and exchange we hope to realise the broad left's untapped potential. If you have a project/initiative you would like to publicise for your party, faction or organisation, feel free to post any details through the group. The group is moderated. Spam, flaming and off topic postings will be removed. This includes postings which are not consistent with the goal of broad left discussion. Initiatives, original articles and criticism, news and events - are all welcome posting topics.Feel free to join, post articles or ask questions. This forum will only succeed through YOUR involvement.
