The amendments would be immediate, as soon as passed by legislation.

That quick.

I like your post Brock and Steve's question to Tapp is a valid one tapps answer? evasive.
I as most know am a union official, and I think I bring some basics to the job.
One of 16 kids my education was mostly after I left school I consumed books and the printed word still do in fact.
However my parents put the most important education in me ,nothing is for free get a job work well, stand up for your rights.
In this my current job I am invited by some of south east Asia's biggest construction firms into offices to settle issues up front.
But walking in to a shop with 5 under paid workers full of fear is near imposable.
Workers are not the enemy and it is a dreadful slander to insult them as union trouble makers.
In fact many have never voted Labor in their lives but stay union.
Last week I drove a 12 hour return journey, why?
Members had been told on arriving at work each day they must wait one and a half unpaid hours to be drug tested them one hour that night unpaid on top of ten hours worked!
What is so evil about the union fixing that problem? about back pay won by the union?
My proud union is no enemy of bosses who treat workers fairly but forever opposes grubs!
One grub had the power to make a fool of himself and he will never turn into a butterfly.

Hey Belly that is wrong

And to Steve your answer

Labor stated that it would tear up all AWA'S when getting into power
and also its called policy, all you have is talk and spin nothing more.

So Belly scared off being expelled by the party if you answer my questions.

As a union man that you are your respect for the workers should be beyond question so why is it you cannot or will not answer.

Also as being the son of a union secretary for the ASE and also my father had been the president of the trade and Labor council in the town I grew, I would say I have great respect for the worker and also what a union should be doing.

So we can play tit for tat or you can answer as we the people wish to know.

Stu

You have still to enlighten me on how you would amend AWAs, does this direct quote from your stated "policy" mean scrap them? reinstate the no disadvantage test? make everything negotiable?

Your failure to answer this simple question may imply "unfinished business" in your IR policy.

It is quite obvious Steve that the simplicity of TAPPs policy may be too hard for you.

I would suggest re read it

Remember policy, this then has to become legislation and have stated what we will do.

I dont plan to give my policy to Labor on a silver platter.
It seems that those i speak to can read and understand what will happen.

I still have 2 questions un answered so when you decide to give me the same respect that i give you when answering you will get no more.

Answer my 2 easy questions then we can get on.

Sorry Stu, Maybe I'm a bit slow but I have re-read this thread and cannot find the two questions you are waiting to have answered.

If you would like to ask these questions again, I will be only too happy to answer.
