Re: Saturday, 2 July - note it in your diaries

Two sides of the same coin in my opinion. I see no difference. Between Murdoch buying off the support of the current government than I do the CFMEU doing it.

We operate a system of patronage for...

Re: Saturday, 2 July - note it in your diaries

I think you're right - Union stoogery has stalked the ALP since the toppling of KRudd, who I believe was actually popular because he wasn't seen as a union hack, unlike Gillard and Shorten.

Re: Saturday, 2 July - note it in your diaries

I'm not really saying it's unfair - more that if they are going to do do it, do it right and cover everything in one go. Make the CFMEU the showpiece first case by all means, but let's not make it a...

Re: Saturday, 2 July - note it in your diaries

I agree that the CFMEU is no shining light of social brilliance, but do you not think that instead of targeting one particular industry, it would be much better to construct the means to investigate...

Re: Saturday, 2 July - note it in your diaries

Part of the problem in Australia is the lack of a proper manifesto for each party that is presented at the beginning of the hustings. Instead we have a litany of vague policy releases in the run up...

Re: Saturday, 2 July - note it in your diaries

Re: Saturday, 2 July - note it in your diaries

The opportunities for mischief are huge here for the Senate. Nothing to prevent the Senate from adding a Federal ICAC amendment to this ABCC bill. That would provide a huge wedge for the government -...

Re: Saturday, 2 July - note it in your diaries

I have to agree with this - I don't see any problems with re-invoking the ABCC - of course it now just needs the ALP to pass it and Turnbull loses his DD trigger - which would mean not cleaning out...
