Cairns volunteers for Dr Jonathan Strauss, the lead Socialist Alliance Senate candidate, spoke out today against the illegal destruction of their roadside campaign corflutes. This is before Dr Strauss, who lived in Cairns for 18 years until the end of 2024, returned to the Far North for campaign activities from this weekend.

“We’re determined to get the word out about Jonathan’s campaign. He has made the genocidal assault on Gaza his top issue. We’re also proposing emergency action for public housing and the climate,” Dr Strauss said.

“We use our roadside corflutes to spread the word. A lot of people told us how glad they were to see these up once the election was called, the moment the Council by-laws allowed this.

“Now, within a week, an unknown person or persons defaced, destroyed or removed almost all our corflutes.

“We won’t be silenced.

“In parliament Socialist Alliance will continue to consistently oppose Israel’s attempt to ethnically cleanse Gaza. But the Australian government took two weeks to call out the Israeli military’s ambush and execution style war-crime killings of 15 humanitarian workers in Gaza on March 23.

“The destruction of our campaign corflutes is against free speech and undemocratic. To get the word out, corflutes are what campaigns that aren’t major-party, or financed by billionaires, can afford.

“But even corflutes aren’t cheap, so this is also criminal damage and theft. My campaigners have reported this to the police.

“Socialist Alliance wants people to join the campaign to help have our voices heard. You can get in contact with our Far North Queensland branch to find out how to take part.”

Dr Strauss will:

Speak at the Free Palestine FNQ vigil at the corner of Esplanade and Shields St at 6pm, Friday, April 11.

Take part in a Socialist Alliance stall at Rusty’s Markets from 9am, Saturday, April 12.

Speak at Socialist Alliance’s “Solutions to the Housing Crisis” workshop (guest speaker: Kristin O’Connell, The Anti-Poverty Centre) from 12.45pm, Saturday, April 12, ARC Community Hall, 52 Macnamara St, Manunda.

Speak at the Socialist Alliance Tablelands Election Launch, 9.30am for 10am, Sunday, April 13, 3 Glenwood Close, Atherton.

24 thought on “Socialist Alliance candidates lose most of their campaign signs”
  1. POWER PENGUIN DELUX
    I can tell you a lot about my first 26 years of my life experience livinin a socialist country of Romania.
    In theory sounds good.
    Introduce the human factor, and all goes pear shaped.
    In socialism/communism are two distinctive clases: The have,and have nots.

  2. {

    For one thing, Malcolm Roberts would never paint his nails black;

    I mean if you really wanna be taken seriously, please child;

    }

  3. {

    Btw, it’s very interesting to notice that their faces all look the same, lolz; I guess the kind of thinking they have and share shape their exterior, and that’s why you’ve got to always have the right kind of thinking;

    Cheers;

    }

  4. {

    Checks and balances, I guess;
    I wouldn’t want a total socialist takeover, because that would be scary, since socialism is simply like communism soft or communism diet;

    but they do have a good message like ‘people before profit’; (whether they TRULY believe in it or not is yet another matter, tho;
    they could only be saying it for out of convenience for them and themselves only;)
    so yeah, having an opinion and being able to express it freely is a basic right for all living souls;

    so checks and balances, I guess, because at least it should make you think and question more;
    so don’t lose your attention and interest is what I say;

    personally I don’t think it’s a good idea for any one party to dominate in politics because that’s just silly dictatorship;
    ya think you’re watching, big bro? No no, us small folks are watching YOU;

    Cheers;

  5. Hang on people, Socialists are not necessarily communists. If it wasn’t for Socialist policies, there would no Government (handouts as some people call them). Aged pensions, social securities ( unemployment payments), Veteran pensions, social housing and Government nursing homes. None of these were around in the early years before the so-called free enterprise Governments were forced to provide socialist policies.

    It was the Socialist with empathy, thinking people, that forced Governments to provide these services, not Communists or Capitalists.

    What are you nay-sayers going to do if there is a real financial bust which does away with your superannuation? Are you going to refuse any Government handout that might be going?

  6. Jase said – “… What about the murder of babies born alive and left crying till they die alone in a bucket? Is this So the bits of fresh dead babies can be sold for a profit by our governments to create bio weapons?”

    Yes, that is why. Every fresh baby corpse is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to various traffickers in the human flesh supply chain, including the “medical professionals” who carryout the murders.

    And it is exactly the reason why the Luciferian animals masquerading as our “politicians” consistently BLOCK any “legislation” (read – corporate policies) which would require the administration of pain killers or anaesthetic to relieve the new-born babies’ agony as they slowly die utterly alone in their cold stainless steel dishes and buckets on the floor. The baby cadavers must be uncontaminated to be fit for sale.

    The same reason ALL so-called “full term abortions” of perfectly healthy babies throughout every Australian state and territory are conducted without any form of pain relief for the slaughtered babies. And let’s just articulate, folks, so that it’s crystal clear, the deliberate barbaric murder of perfectly healthy Australian babies DURING THEIR BIRTH.

    Industrial-scale infanticide, folks. All legalised, normalised, endorsed and enforced by EVERY “government” in EVERY Australian state and territory to supply fresh baby meat and organs and blood to the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food processing industries as well as boutique cannibal and Satanic ritual clients here in Australia and all around the world. Tens of thousands of perfectly healthy new-born Australian babies, butchered alive during their birth every year all across Australia.

    Welcome to Satan Central, folks. I’ll bet a lot of you thought that was Ukraine, but you would be wrong, because Australia is even worse, mass-murder is fully normalised and accepted and commercialised on an industrial scale throughout every Australian state and territory and no-one even bats an eyelid.

  7. I don’t agree with anything socialists do or say but I will defend their rights to have a say. People just need to understand that it is people like this that has brought the world to the place we are at now. So why would anybody who wants to have freedom of speech and individual rights vote for a socialist/communist candidate?

  8. The same Globalists who are running the Zion project are also running the Global Warming scam so this socialist alliance is a waste of energy anyway. Even the name is a paradox because socialists want to rely on somebody more productive than themselves to raise their standard of living, in the most ideal circumstances it is just utopianism and in less ideal circumstances it is about state dependence.
    So Dr. Jonathan Strauss and volunteers should put their analytical skills to work to find out what is really going on before littering the place with pointless and misleading advertising. Please you people, get it through your heads Carbon Dioxide is not pollution, it is an essential element for plant life. D’OH
    If you want to protest Zion be advised that Elbow has aready disavowed the Gaza genocide and that’s as far as Australia will be allowed to go. Your socialist alliance efforts are a waste of time, do your research properly instead of allowing yourselves to be spoon-fed, take your good intentions and deploy them elsewhere, for example dismantling the Medical Industrial Complex ( the story doesn’t say what type of doctor Strauss is ).

  9. Yes, David Esplin. Bang on. The Legalise Cannabis Party look the same. Their local gy is an IT expert and the straightest-looking bloke you’ve ever seen. I contacted them about ibogaine, which is a substance that, with a treatment or two, eradicates heroin addiction completely, but never got a jot back. I also sent this one too, to no reaction:
    https://www.naturalnews.com/049651_medicinal_marijuana_federal_government_street_meth.html
    So they’re a bunch of suss-burgers likely looking to do preference deals with parties you do not want to know about anymore.

  10. Socialism is the handmaiden of communism. None of these morons who espose such ‘ideals’ have any comprehension of what that means. None have ever lived in a communist country; couldn’t spell’gulag’. Typically they acquired their leftist leanings from university politics.

  11. Could you be more specific with those headlines? When I read the phrase “Socialist Alliance candidates” I immediately assumed you meant the Labor / LNP socialist alliance and thought people were waking up.

  12. They sound like Greens under another name.Vote Greens LAST…they get NO preferences that way!

  13. The Socialist Alliance are a bunch of tossers. local federal candidate was a councilor in lara, Geelong, for one term and never raised any issue about the 40-yes: 40-years some people n one street have been pleading for flood mitigation in that street. When it appeared in the local Murdoch rag I went to see the elderly chap who featured in the article, who confirmed the 40 year wait. This councilor, Sarah Hathway’s council sidekick, Anthony Aitken, has been in that Ward for some 28 years, and never managed to get that remediation done, which in current estimates involves around $2.5 million. Back in the day it would have amounted to a few tens of thousands.
    Now, Council here want to offload 300 aged care workers who service some 3000 elderly clients, all of whom revere the staff that look after them.
    I wrote to Hathway’s Socialist Alliance quango, who are housed in the Geelong Trades Hall, on the 10th of this month, to no reply so far, and do not expect one, as the SAs have, like council, an agenda that does not necessarily involve true representation of anyone, and have never answered any email, all on serious topics and issues, that I have sent them before.
    I have beaten up the Mayor and CEO about the aged care issue, and got a couple of replies from the Mayor, who is a Doctor of Law.
    So his reply means that I am on target, with more to come. See my Rumble page: “bobsthejob” for the video I will be posting about Geelong Council this weekend, and which will have some fairly startling revelations about the council.
    But as far as the Socialist Alliance goes? They’re an absolute crock!

  14. Not much about our problems we face in Australia.

    kids being raped, tortured and abused in Cape York communities and the police and government turn a blind eye, the media say nothing. The so called Aboriginal gravy train cash barley steps foot out of Canberra, let alone all the land councils based in citys that hoover up the rest to stop it getting to remote communities.

    What about the murder of babies born alive and left crying till they die alone in a bucket?

    Is this So the bits of fresh dead babies can be sold for a profit by our governments to create bio weapons?

    Keep watching MSM and listening to the radio if it makes you feel better, maybe grab a booster or 2.

  15. What does Gaza have to do with the problems that Australia faces and what do these clowns want to do about the climate, increase taxes, they sound like a pack of left wing morons and if I ever saw one of their signs I would be tempted to tear it down because of the stupidity of the people who put it up.
