IF I WERE TO CHALLENGE THE IR LAWS I WOULD SUCCEED, AS I DID WITH THE ELECTION ISSUE ON 19 JULY 2006 IN THE COUNTY COURT OF VICTORIA THAT VOTING IS CONSTITUTIONALLY NOT PERMITTED TO BE COMPULSORY.
AS A "CONSTITUTIONALIST" I KNOW WHAT THE HIGH COURT OF AUSTRALIA CONCEALED FROM ITS IR JUDGMENT OF 14-11-2006!
.
FOR EXAMPLE;
.
HANSARD 27-1-1898 Constitution Convention Debates
Mr. SYMON.-
The relations between the parties are determined by the contract in the place where it occurs.
And
Sir EDWARD BRADDON (Tasmania).-
We have heard to-day something about the fixing of a rate of wage by the federal authority. That would be an absolute impossibility in the different states.
And
Mr. BARTON: If they arise in a particular State they must be determined by the laws of the place where the contract was made.
And
Mr. BARTON.-We do not propose to hand over contracts and civil rights to the Federation, and they are intimately allied to this question.
And
Sir JOHN DOWNER.-
The people of the various states make their own contracts amongst themselves, and if in course of their contractual relations disagreements arise, and the state chooses to legislate in respect of the subject-matter of them, it can do so.
.
AND, THERE IS A LOT MORE TO THESE UNCONSTITUTIONAL IR LAWS!

Arjay your thread has quite a few issues within the one title, some alleged sins are not Labors some are both party's.
However the proposed unfair dismissal laws of the ALP are in no way the old laws, I think we will see and end to many wrongs in the old system.
Not that it adds to my point but this country under its last three governments has imported debt at the expense of our manufacturing industry's.
Do we see a way around this? tariffs? do we not scream when our friends America let us say uses them against us as they do right now with Sugar?
Complex issues all need attention but do you not agree to put them all on the shoulders of Labor as you have done here is a bit over the top?
Australia should debate long and hard the lies and fear tactics used against Labor.
We do not need to import the worst parts of American politics to this country while old John Howard may have its brand in was made in America, more unwanted imports.
