WW can fight his own battles
Actually.. he seems unable to do that.
It would be fair to say that my feelings on unions now border on hatred.
Yeah, you must hate 4 weeks leave, sick leave, carers leave, maternity leave, paternity leave, safe working conditions, good pay..
How have unions personally affected you in a negative fashion? Give specific examples not invective from some obscure PhD.
You've given a few extreme examples of Unions gone bad.. but these are massively overshadowed by the rampant abuse of people that various Employers have perpetrated over the years.. and the disgusting Industrial Relations environment that the Government rammed through after the Election.. without any clear mandate for that change.
Give me a government made up of moderate ex-union officials ANY DAY over that lying sack of cow manure John Howard.. he took us to war in Iraq under false pretences, he lied about 'Children Overboard', he has "Core" and "Non Core" promises, he manipulated an entire ship full of refugees for his own political gain, he let David Hicks languish for years in Guantanamo Bay, he actively supports the Death Penalty in OTHER countries and endangers the lives of Australians on Death Row in those countries, he led a government that has stripped us of civil liberties all in the name of that, now, embarrassing "war on terror", he's systematically stripping Australian Workers of rights and entitlements, he's spent MASSIVE amounts of hard earned Tax Payer money on Television advertising of a clearly political nature, he's demonised racial groups (think Sudanese).. he's treated Aboriginals with contempt and used them as a pawn in his political game, he's enlisted obscure pacific islands to act as a dumping ground for unwanted arrivals and taken years to process them.. He's an embarrassment on a global scale.
Really.. any day.. give me a Goverment made up of people who've got a track record of caring about people.. Our country could be so much better if we had a government that really cared about the people and environment for a change.. We've toggled unbelievably far to the right.. its time to toggle back a little.. not to some extreme left that you seem to be fearing but to a healthy balance between "The Economy" and "Our Society."
