A BUILDING company and its bosses have been fined $470,000 for the death of an employee at an Apollo Bay work site.
Peter Miller died in 2006 after falling to the ground and being crushed by 10 tonnes of blocks and panels when a partially built floor he was working on collapsed.

The above is typical of the day to day tragedies that occur in the Australian workplace. Do we hear anything from the conservative side of politics, no, but when there is a chance to do some political point scoring, like on this issue, out pour the crocodile tears, the champions of the working class, please.

So where are the unions for the health workers of qld? Or, is it simply like TAPP says, they don't wish to rock the boat at this stage.

I think blind freddie knows the answer to this one.

It seems there are 2 standards here, one for labor and the other for the conservatives and independents.

I would have to say that due to beconsfield if it was just about point scoring and crocodile tears then you had realy fooled the people that you had actually cared.

TAPP seems upset that while those trapped miners lay underground life very much still in danger unionists came to help.
Most Australians, like me, live in hope fear and pain.
Grown men, me too quietly cry ed as we thought about the hell of their underground fight to live TAPP finds something that does not exist in that, he so very often does.
Read post two in this thread TAPP will not, he defames the unions who warned of the dangers.
rechtub, well QUEENSLAND HEALTH WORKERS?
From what hole did you retrieve that?
Your posts scream you do not are for any worker.
if I tell you all workers fight all worker have unions all workers ,,,,,why bother? rechtub join the Australian Peoples Party your understanding of daily issues is such you could be shadow minister for rubbish in weeks.
Greg Combe, defamed yet again here won the seat TAPP stood for, is doing a good job, 4 times the minister Garrett is, enough reason for him to be questioned by My lost opponent.

Stuart,

Didn't know anything about your APP, so had a read. Your stuff should appeal to the 'Bottom Dwellers', just what they like to hear, hangm' and hangm' high. Throw in a bit of flag waving nationism and some militarism, perfect mix. There was a bloke in Germany in the 1930's. he talked a lot like you, its all for the greater good, is it not?
I'll join only if I get a uniform!

Cheers Paul

After what i learnt about the labor party i would have prefered to have cut my throat that stand up and represent governments that support and hide child sexual and physical abuse.

Belly just the usual rant.

As a matter of fact personally i did not lose the election

The people have to contend with the following

placing asylum seekers in 4 start hotels at our expense
the costs assosiated with fixing the insulation debarcle, what we have heard its only 1.2 billion dollars that the workers/tax payers have to pay back for incompetence.

And as i said before you should read one of the other discussions refering to beaconsfield.

Also we havnt seen the unions jumping up and down about the qld health workers pay debacle.

What about the safety for rail workers, a quick message on the news and that was it.

Where are the unions,
why are they not getting into these governments.

These are questions for you belly what is being done.

Comet is nothing more than a yes man who would have known about the safety and danger issues with the insulation scheme.

Why has he not said anything, and if the gutless Combet thinks i have defamed him, then let him stand up and as i have already challanged him to a debate we shall see who is gutless.

I say what needs to be said not what the parties want you to hear.
