FWA is in the process of finding out wether there is a case to be tried.
You are jumping the gun stating what the charges are before there is any conclusion. All in due course Bazz.

Listen, I said WHY is the FWA involved at all ?

It is none of their business. There is an allegation of criminal action.
That is a police matter.
No ifs no buts, Why did it take a complaint to the police to get
them involved over the top of the FWA ?
The FWA should not have been involved, it is not industrial relations.

The people you have to have sympathy for in this whole sorry saga are people like my partner who is a member of the HSU East, low paid hospital worker, pays her 23 bucks a fortnight to the union. You have so called Labor people who have completely forgotten the workers they are supposed to represent, to busy infighting or playing political football.
One side note on this is the union has lost so many members, people resigning everywhere, they asked my partner to be a new union delegate, she asked my view, normally I would have said "yes, do it." but this time I said "no way."
At the next federal election I will be doing my little bit in my electorate to have The Greens not preference Labor who hold the seat by 6%.

the opposition...would be best advised
to put juliar on ignore..

[NOT ONE QUESTION..to 'her'
at question time]

pick on rudd...give him a forum..to beat her up
[he wont get any nonmination..so dont sweat on giving him pm time]

divide and conquer

address the issue..[any issue]..to minor front bench members

ambush them..do they support this?

juliar is just waiting for the early electorial advantage
just like howard...se if the issue floats..take the air out of the opposition...adopt their policies[wrongly/poorly]..high jack the name

its all only too easy
to let them set the adgenda
or do as the beurocracy tells ya

its best we expose the tricks
then aim for more fairity
representing the people
not the master

'You have so called Labor people who have completely forgotten the workers they are supposed to represent, to busy infighting or playing political football. '

And therein lies the problem. Like the ALP, the union movement has lost it's way, gettting down and dirty in politics instead of representing workers.

Despite the obvious historical context, it is about time the unions and Labor parted ways. It is impossible to represent member interests when unions are so incestuously linked to one major party. And where unions are perceived as a career step into Labor by some self-promoters. There is no issue with union leaders becoming politicians, hell there is already an over-representation from the legal field, but the intimate connection is an anathema to good governance and genuine representation.
