On 31 October, I wrote to each Labor MP seeking their position in relation to our wage claim.  After the first couple of responses were received, it became clear that some were still escaping giving a definitive position.  I wrote again to clarify what exactly we were seeking from them.

Today we received a response from Peter Lawlor MP, Member for Southport in which he unequivocally provides support for our case.

We need to remember and recognise Mr Lawlor's support in the lead-up to the next State election.
