SA: Unions target marginal seats in letterbox campaign

ADELAIDE, April 15 AAP - Some 150 union volunteers have delivered 30,000 leaflets targeting
the government's work laws to residents in South Australia's most marginal federal seats
today.

The seats of Kingston, Makin and Wakefield were targeted, coinciding with the launch
of a new television advertising campaign depicting Australians as sitting ducks in the
government's sights.

"It's a national television campaign and will also be a national letterboxing campaign
in 22 of the most marginal Liberal-held electorates in the country," SA Unions secretary
Janet Giles said.

"The aim is for people to understand that if you're not affected by the laws now, there's
every chance you will be affected later or someone you know will be affected.

"That's why we have to get rid of the laws, and that's why we're using the sitting
duck analogy. The Australian family is sitting ducks just being pinged off."
