FWA was constructed by Juliar. That she kept some of the old legislation and employees is beside the point, she didn't have to.

"FAIR WORK AUSTRALIA JOBS FOR LABOR MATES
Trade union officials are five times more likely to be appointed as members of the ‘independent’ workplace umpire Fair Work Australia, than non-union officials, the Government has revealed.

In late 2009, then Workplace Relations Minister Julia Gillard, appointed 6 new members to serve as adjudicators on the bench of Fair Work Australia. Of these 6 appointments, 5 were ex-trade union officials and 1 was an ex-government bureaucrat."

Get your fact right.

The arguments about who appointed whom do not really matter.

There is a bad smell coming out the whole trade union, government and faceless men world.

That in the end, is all we voters need to know.
If the police are doing their job they will take it all apart and give
a case to the prosecution service.
If the voters are convinced that the government/party/unions interfere
with prosecutions then it may well be the real end of the Labour Party.

If that happens the Greens will become the opposition.
For all our sakes the Labour Party membership body needs to clean out
the existing hierarchy, the good and the bad, start from scratch and
disconnect from the trade unions. They will be doing the unions a
favour as they have been corrupted by their connection to the Labour Party & government.

It's a matter of who has the best experience of the workplace, only minor changes were made to rebadge it to FWA, the whole block of legislation was lifted and re-sown into FWA. With no work choices.
What has that got to do with the noalition having a clean cut kangaroo court decision to hang Thompson.

"the whole block of legislation was lifted and re-sown into FWA. With no work choices"

No it wasn't. There was plenty put in to boost the unions.

P.S There is plenty of irrefutable evidence that Thomson is a crook and a sleaze ball.

Irrefutable evidence, why has he not been charged.
Is it because the evidence can not be substantiated.
Either way i can't see how it can be irrefutable.
The only thing is irrefutable is Tony and his pride of mongrels got it wrong.

579,

It's coming. The 4 year delay by Juliar's FWA didn't help.

What is irrefutable is that Juliar lied to the electorate, and that the unions and many Labor MPs have been caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
