Well here we go again.

After I had said labor would sell off the electricity they havnt stopped the idea, and the unions are now backing them.
It seems that those who are their to stand up for the workers, as it is the workers who pay their wages are gettting the wrong end of the stick.

We have labor cutting childrens school transport
We have labor acting unconstitutionaly
We have Rudd making a fool of himself to the international community, and

where are those standing up for the worker and their families.

They , the unions must be waiting for the right media coverage just like at Beaconsfield, where if they had done their job nobody would have died or got hurt.

Come on, it is time you started to make a stand and not blindly follow as you are told to do.

Thanks for having set up this forum, tapp.

I have to admit I haven't been following this story that well lately, but some articles, I have written may also be of interest. These include:

"How decades of privatisation have impoverished NSW" at http://candobetter.org/node/823

"Media contempt for facts in NSW electricity privatisation debate" at http://webdiary.com.au/cms/?q=node/2509 http://candobetter.org/node/765

You may also find the discussion "NSW power without pride" at http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=2103&page=0 to be of interest.

I think it is important to distinguish the Labor Party from those anti-Labor pro-privatisation elements within it who have seized control of it at most state levels and at the Federal level.

Where other Labor Party members hold out against these people such as when the NSW ALP branch stood up to Costa and Iemma earlier this year, they should be given all possible support and every encouragement.

If we look at the electricity we had labor and the unions saying it will not be sold.

But before the state election i was warning people that it would be sold and even rudd was backing it back then.

Where is combet, still licking rudds boots and backing the sale.

Well i told you so.

We also have students will have to pay to travel to school on buses.

Tafes to be cut back

What we have here people is the labor parties education de revolution.

We have state governments australia wide who are illegal and unconstitutional.

This also includes the federal government and these parties know this so all we have is a party dictatorship parading as constitutional governments.

A for a mandate unless these people in government are being paid by their parties then they are to represent the people of their electorates and the people have their say.

have a referendum that will see but these political parties like to do things not for the people but themselves.

tapp,

I take it that you're a Liberal supporter.

Same old tactics, same old attacks, same old
criticisms.

No not a liberal supporter

I am somebody who stands up for the people and not party dictatorship.

I do not bend over for these parties.

Foxy if you dont like the facts, stay away from the fire.

tapp,

You haven't presented a balanced argument.
Or offered any solutions.

It's easy to attack and criticize.
Anybody can do that.

But, there's always two sides - and if you're
really interested in presenting the "facts."
Give us a balanced view please and what you
suggest can be done about it.

Stop with the cliches. We've heard them all
before, and frankly they don't mean or
achieve anything worthwhile.

If you're really interested in having a
serious debate on this subject - you have
to do better than just make generalisations,
and statements that don't actually mean
anything.

Try again.
