“We’ll be back where we were when the Workers Educational Association was set up - begging for casual jobs when, and wherever we can - if we don’t understand what’s happening,” says Pat Bolster, Wellington WEA president.
“Only then can we put a stop to the current economic idiocy, and effectively organise for the better world, we know must be possible. That’s why the W E A is organising a series
of lunchtime lectures and discussions on “The Economic Crisis & Community response”.
