The Progressive Educator ticket, representing the interests of all education workers, has won an impressive victory in the AEU SA branch elections.
Correna Haythorpe was successful in the contest for the Presidency, winning against Jan Webber, backed by the principal associations.
Marcus Knill has been re-elected Male Vice-President.
(Two other Progressive Educator candidates – Jack Major, who stood for reelection as General Secretary, and Anne Crawford who stood as Female Vice-President - were elected unopposed.)
In order of votes gained, the new Executive (with Progressive Educator candidates in bold face) consists of:
Andrew Gohl
Jan Webber
David Smith
Lara Kelly
Jackie Bone-George
Lesley Lindsay-Taylor
Chris Waugh
Peter Trethewey
Ray Marino
Kelvin Jeanes
Richard Baxter
Lorraine Young
Members are to be congratulated for responding to the call to keep the leadership of the union in the hands of a broadly representative progressive group.
