Unionists to gain education

Excitement is building as a group of starstruck Australians prepare to visit Venezuela to witness regional elections through the Australian-Venezuela Solidarity Network. A similar visit took place last year, with the visitors mainly consisting of unionists.

The 2008 election has the potential to be very, very exciting, with Hugo Chavez promising to send in the tanks if the result does not go his way. Already these elections are featuring shootings, arrests, and a range of other high-spirited election hi-jinks.
