Website Launch

It is with great pleasure and excitement that the Sunnybank Central Labor launches this newly designed website.

In the year 2017, social media and online websites may not necessarily win elections and campaigns, but it is without a doubt an important pillar in political organising.

Looking at the results of Bernie Sanders - aka currently the most popular politician in the US (Google it!) - and Jeremy Corbyn, whilst not being able to win the top job for their respective nations, they both managed to drastically reshape political campaigning for the rest of the world.

I want to see Sunnybank Central Labor as a Corbyn-Sanders style grassroots organisation for the community. By working together as a branch and successfully utilising modern day technology, I have no doubt we will be able to make Sunnybank Central a progressive campaign hub for grassroots democracy.

You can read about how Bernie Sander's campaign successfully utilised the tool of social media via this site:
