Dear Mr Tapp,

I can see that we are going to have to
agree to disagree on so many issues.

I don't see the point of further discussion
with you - nothing constructive is going to
be achieved - that's becoming fairly obvious.

As my father once warned me - "Don't discuss
religion, politics, and in Australia, - football."

However, I too have been trained (part of my profession)
to correct errors when I see them - so I often stumble
into situations - that I should have with hindsight
avoided.

What either of us think won't make the slightest bit
of difference in the end anyway - the voters will decide
who they want to run this country.

The rest of the year should prove interesting.

See you on another thread!

With all the media that surrounded beaconsfield, the question still has not been answered.

Why were these men in the mine.

The ACTU, CFMEU Combet, Shorten do not want to answer this question.

It was made quite clear that there was safety concerns.

So what does it take for a union to get the men out on strike.

An ingrown toenail.

Come on Belly you should have the balls to answer this question but it is doubttful that you can say the unions were incompetent in their duties to the workers.

TAPP you are a renovators dream, every thing could be changed every thing can be made better.
I as you know have great pity for you but no respect.
Over and again I said it is better for the forum,,,for me to ignore you.
Your rants are not related to reality, nothing in your life is, your latest thread has bought followers, but wanders far from truth honesty and balance.
Other posters making the statements you make, could justly be called lier's.
I however know you have problems.
Others in time will see this, your posts are not debate, but slander and no better than the graffiti on the walls in the city you come from.
Have I got the balls?
Maybe not, I failed again to ignore your bait.
But some facts.
The CFMEU had nothing to do with beacons field.
It had not been a union mine for very long, but was an AWU mine.
Yes safety issues, just like those on almost every site, every mine had been made.
Can this forums readers look past your lost uninformed slanders?
YOU say strikes can/could have taken place?
Are you aware unions can not/should not order wild cat strikes?
That workers only can make that choice.
Safety is every ones business but you here and other threads again and again say strike action could have prevented deaths?
continued.
