	Government cuts prepare rail disaster - Three derailments in Australia
		One driver remarked that the only change introduced since the Beresfield report is that driving crews are relieved after a straight ten and a half hours of working and told to drive themselves home, thereby endangering lives further.
		Rail maintenance workshops that once carried out extensive repairs and major overhaul programs have been shut down and the work handed over to private industry.
		For over a decade every attempt by rail workers to oppose the job cuts -- from the drivers' dispute in early 1980s against the cuts to crew numbers, to the struggles of workshop workers in the late 1980s and early 1990s against privatisation and closure -- has been isolated and betrayed by the rail unions.
