Left Inquiry Urged Into Allegations Made About Sexual Misconduct of Late, Former Leader of Parties that Devolved Into Today's Socialist Alliance in Australia

 

The following items were posted over the course of the past year or so onto the Facebook page of The Australian Radical Leftist Network.   I have decided that the importance of the issues raised within the material posted to that Facebook page demands wider exposure in the left media in this country, and possibly abroad.   Therefore I am initially forwarding slightly-edited copies of these posts to the (Perth) Indymedia site in Australia.
