While our great parliamentary leader visits the cricket at Lords and enjoys tea and scones with the queen, those at 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ are hard at work, going about producing a quality independent weekly newspaper.
But it takes more than hard work and dedication to continue the production of a 32-page newspaper of the calibre of 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ Weekly.
As much as we would like to bring about a fairer and more just economic system, we still, unfortunately, have to work within the capitalist market economy. As a result, we constantly face the problem of paying the costs of production, from stationery, postage and freight charges, to the paper that 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ is printed on.
Not depending on government funding or big business sponsorship helps ensure our political independence, but independence comes at a financial cost. The end of the financial year, when we have to settle accounts with our creditors, is a particularly tough time.
Can you lend a hand to ensure that Australia's best progressive paper has a happy new financial year? Your contribution to the 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ Weekly Fighting Fund will play a part in keeping thousands of people, in Australia and overseas, in touch with events, news and campaigns on a weekly basis. Details of how you can donate to the Fighting Fund are on page 5. 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ Weekly — it's your paper.
