'Arguments against Treaty still not addressed'

In a statement made today, Richard Boyd Barrett of the People Before Profit Alliance said that with only a few days to go before polling, the public is still being misled by the Yes side and some sections of the media on the most important issues in the Lisbon Treaty.

"In the debate around Lisbon, the key issues of concern to the public, such as EU militarisation and neutrality, public services and privatisation, workers rights, democracy and accountability in the EU, are being underplayed, misrepresented or simply ignored.
