This week it has come to my attention that the Narooma Branch has closed and a few desks at Centrelink take its place. This was publicised by the CPSU, who hope to pressure Management into releasing specific information about their plans for change. I sincerely hope that the CPSU will be successful in these attempts, however I am sorry to say that I doubt they will be. Management seem to feel no moral obligation to duly inform their staff of important changes, that is until they are actually happening, and then they can do nothing about it, which is I suppose their intention in witholding this information in the first place. The balance of power is so unfairly weighted in their direction that it seems that we can do little but sit by and wait to be told that which we do not wish to hear. However, as that most inspiring character Headmaster Albus Dumbledore says to us in the Harry Potter series, "And yet, happiness is possible, even in the darkest of times". So let us go on seeking to find that strength within ourselves that allows us to stand against all that is most unfair and wrong in this world and in our work. Until next time.
Yours truly,
Winston
