STAR readers will have a rare opportunity to participate in a joint meeting towards the end of March, when, as part of a Tom Mann Internationalist Tour, activists from Britain and Australia meet across the continents to discuss the future for our labour movements.

This will be chaired by Australia’s Jo Kowalczyk, who leads the Women in Super organisation, which campaigns for gender equality in retirement income.
