Free public transport advocate wins seat

[SamWainwright.jpg]Socialist Alliance WA co-convenor Sam Wainwright was elected from the Hilton Ward to the Fremantle Council in the October 17 poll. Wainwright was the candidate with the most votes, polling over 33% of the vote.

A socialist, unionist and community activist, Wainwright advocates for "free and expanded public transport" and for council to "fight climate change", workers' rights, and open spaces for all, and rates based on ability to pay.

    Thank you Bath ... there's more to come - as an increasing number of people around the world realize that fare free public transport has the potential to have a major impact on drastically reducing emissions and congestion in cities everywhere.
