What SM is saying, I think, is not whether he is guilty or not, but rather, why has it taken so long, still without an outcome.

They have ruled on a wage increase for the service industry, they acted fast in the Qantas dispute, so either they are being corrupted, or, they are out of their depth.

Either way, the government must act immediately to get this issue soughed, even if this means passing it on to another body.

When something urgent comes up, no doubt the case you are referring to would be put on hold. It could take another 2 years to get to the bottom of this. You are misjudging the complexities of this matter. Just like Abbott, you wouldn't have a clue. Leave it to the experts. I do not think your assertions that fair work are corrupt or incompetent, should be aired without some concrete evidence.

It would appear that the labor mob at Fair Work have decided that all is lost.

Just to make it harder for the coalition government to get back into the black, when they come back in, they have set ridiculous wages for the no skills caring sector.

Good luck affording a nursing home with this crazy stuff. The only people in them will be the government funded penniless.

I think Hasbeen has a strong point there. Labor knows they're very likely out the door so in spite & planning to get back in again after a coalition Government doesn't get in the black after just one term. They count on the indoctrinated first time voter who by then has absolutely no idea about the mismanagement until now.
That's why Labor is always placing education so high on their list at election time because it is education which hands them those high numbers of ignorant votes. After all Labor is no longer the party of the thinking for the common good.

byjeezus-h-christendom! Where to start:

* Hasbeen is a hasbeen, even the hasbeen admits it

* So says one individual

* Contradiction in terms

* Indoctrinated 1st time voter - stop smokin the stuff

* So, the other mob want to dumb down the voters

* Individual is an example of a 'dumbed down' society, very likely with 95% confidence

* Yeah, those bloody elitist academics and no-nuttin educated people

* Alternatives think? Yeah right, after they put their foot in their mouth.

Shadow Minister, not often do I agree with you, but this time you are spot on. The time it has taken (3 years) Fair Work to investigate Thompson and Williamson, one can only conclude there has been some kind of political interference or at best, those at FWA charged with the 'investigation' know which side their bread's buttered.
