Dear Poirot,

The discussion is about corruption, and there are three examples of corruption in spelling in the title. Possibly Belly's subconscious created a title consistent with the discussion.

Belly,
I seem to remember that you posted to me something along the lines of "The AWU is not a leftist union. It remains our best."
I am not terribly familiar with who's who of unions, but weren't Blew-it and Wilson part of this union? Do you still stand by this statement? And your old mate Bill Shorten for that matter? Not that I think he's tied up in it, just that he's a goose. (See insiders from Sunday)

I have always thought that corruption runs in the very fabric of many Australian unions.
Bazz,
I imagine that it does absolutely flow both ways. At the very least to jobs for the boys. One glance at the front bench makes that obvious

Bazz, we could ask the same questions of the Liberal Party with their close connections with big business. Here in NSW we have the O'farrell government bending over backwoods to please their mates in big business. There is a bit of a smell about Packer and a second casino.

This stinks. Add CSG approvals and the 98% big development approvals by O'farrell.

Paul,

The pathetic attempt to compare the Labor links with the unions to coalition links with big business is a nice try, but with no cigar.

Firstly the unions breed corruption with their feeble oversight,
Secondly the unions even though representing only 18% or so, get 50% of the voting delegates to select MPs, and directly fund the ALP from members contributions.

The coalition with its rational economic policies gets the support from business, but is beholden to none.

Belly - Quote "will except my mistake, it is OK rather be me than hold the views of Philip s" What view do you object too?

Check these settings.
Tools down to - options -> advanced -> down left to general (tab) -- down on left make sure "Chck my spelling as i type " has the green tick

The problem is that the spell checker does not work in the
" Discussion title " section but it works in the "Thread post part"
