G'day BELLY...

Enquiry into Unions - why ? There's so much entrenched corruption in this country, it's hard to identify any institution that's clean ! Even the churches for goodness sake.

Seems wherever you turn, there's allegations from many citing instances of corruption, malfeasance, misfeasance, and all the other sorts of criminality, so what's the point !

I've had this joint I really have !

According to the Corruptions Perceptions Index of Transparency International dealing with 183 countries Australia does fairly well. New Zealand is tops, and Somalia is 183. Australia is 8.

david f - that could just suggest western countries are better at hiding there corrupt activities.

"Transparency International" give anyone enough money or have something incriminating on them and they will say what you want them to say.

MOTL AWU is far from left.
Lets NOT GET CONFUSED Williamson is head thief from the HSU.
Few understand, my beloved AWU died about the time of Gillards ex boy friend and Blew it.
Both maggots, but the very union at that time was near death.
I left it briefly at that time to become senior TWU site delegate.
I came back to drive the amalgamation.
Without Bill Shorten, then his successor, it may have died.
But union corruption has been around for a long time.
O SUNG WO, WHAT CAN I SAY?
If only more knew as you do the reality.
I could turn this thread in to a very long list of Conservatives faults and crimes.
But my purpose is set.
Bazz was it? in any case SOLIDARITY, A SWEAR WORD FAR WORSE THAN SAYING SOME ONE IS THE PRODUCT OF UNWED PARENTS, IS IN USE TO HIDE CRIMES IN THE ALP.
A member for Swansea in prison, for crimes including pedophilia, was hidden.
Union heads, not always good one, get seats in Parliament , for being useless at their jobs.
Bill shorten, and Steven Conroy held Gillards knife.
I would if asked, once have said Shorten was this country,s hope.
In truth he will lead and I am unsure.
He has a brilliant intellect.
This is my view, Labor was born from the union movement.
It is time both parts of one movement learned the public, if they truly understood the degree of control unions have over the party both would be in danger of death.
In the historic Roth bury riot.
Mine owner Brown starved his workers, police patrolled the village bashing workers and even wives.
A hight court Tory judge ruled in Browns favor, in a stunning insult to justice.
Then inherited Browns mines after his death, worth look.
Conservatives have no halos.

spending millions to find out the heart of man is corrupt is a total waste of money. We already know it. The union family are among the worse while claiming that they are for the worker. What a joke.

A bitter and nasty post, runner, but not even close to true.
A few of us will understand the truth about todays inquiry in the actions of the past ALP in NSW.
True scum, no other would is adequate to tell of those currently being uncovered.
Not the whole, but far too many, betrayed the ALP/UNION movement.
A creeping unstoppable thought that the whole is infected is an understandable result.
SOLIDARITY, feeds this view.
However as has been said, by an ex police officer, o sung wo, here.
Corruption is every place.
I am willing to bet, tell me you think differently, that the current inquiry will see most walk free.
Cash buys justice, or blinds it.
Even independent commissions to inquire in to justice and wrongs fail, no surprise, to deliver results.
National and state police internal review committees fail, far more often than not.
Some ex police own hotels far beyond their normal means of purchasing.
So?
I propose a new national Crime and corruption group.
Given powers that leave it free of political interference.
Power to look in to all corrupt crimes, prosecute, sentence, and control early release and such, kill corruption.
IF we hide our sides wrongs we in the end deny true justice and true improvements.
IF we let the soft tell us of human rights we say victims, us, do not matter.
