Outline for work in municipal councils. (Melbourne : International Book
Shop, [1945])
Although they are best-known for infiltrating trade unions, the Communist
Party encouraged its members to become involved in other fields. This pamphlet
briefs them for work in local councils.
The Councils are a fertile ground for mass political
development. The role of the Councils will grow, their place in government will
expand, their importance to the people as a whole will develop immeasurably.
Further, the Councils, which lie at the base of government, are the most stable
stepping stones to parliamentary leadership. They can be made the mass rallying
ground for great national movements towards the achievement of Victory, peace,
Security and the objectives of the programme of the Australian Communist Party.
