From the Editor’s Desk: Back Our Subbies

Back our Subbies

SOME people hold a cynical view of the media.

News organisation are portrayed as not caring about anything but the next sensational headline.

But let me tell you something about the Gold Coast Bulletin.

The Bulletin is made up of ordinary people. People with families, with mortgages, with bills to pay.

People living in every Coast suburb from Coomera all the way down to Coolangatta.

It’s why we get so angry when we see other hard-working Gold Coasters, people working in the building industry, being let down time and again.

For many months we’ve been highlighting the many instances of subbies not getting paid, and we’ve campaigned for the reforms needed to stop it happening.

We’ve had some success. But there’s more to do, much more.

Which is why we’re driving the message home to those in power once more with our new ‘Back Our Subbies’ campaign, which launches today.

Beneath the Gold Coast Bulletin masthead sits a slogan, ‘We’re for you’.

It’s more than just words. It’s our promise to you, our loyal readers, to use our influence to fight for your interests.

It’s a disgrace when decent, hard-working people don’t get paid for their work.

We’re campaigning to change that. We hope you support us.
