Ban the unions.
All they want is more money, which the boss has to fine
Less work which means less productivity and less revenue for the business.
More Superannuation, which the boss has to find.
Redundancy payments, what a load of crap
Bring in the foreign workers and see how quickly productivity increases and how willing they are to work.
There is no place in a modern society for stand over unionism.

Get rid of the clunkers in the NSW police force and bring in some real coppers from North Korea! Agree Chris?

Paul1405,
No, we need elected sheriffs and stare marshals like the mid-west where freeloading is a way of life. They even managed to remove words like corruption and graft from the dictionary so people would not be confused with goodness and fairness.
Actually we could use a few of those New Guinean coppers that really know what their guns are for.

Why should unions be allowed to directly or indirectly control the supply of labor? Especially where they could be operating unlawfully?

Union corruption is far from a new allegation. Six years of Labor with their Greens Watermelon sidekicks in tow have not managed to lay a glove on the offenders and there are criminal links, including OMG enforcers.

PM Julia Galah'd (Obama's pronunciation and close to the mark) had plenty of time and zest for her social, gender and class wars. Julia even stooped to sledge her opponent, a happily married father of two young women, as a 'misogynist', but she had no bottle to sort the union corruption allegations that were put before her. Odd that is. But then again maybe not, considering that Labor draws its leaders from union ranks and others of merit cannot get a leg in.

Joe/Chris/Paul I have had the bull by the horns most of my life.
I knew, not as much but knew about that East Coast Mafia, our past leaders!
And thought the way to fix my party,s troubles was to talk about its good sides.
Well I waited two decades of waiting, and saw the CRIMSON HELL! waiting bought on us.
The Obeid Terrigals and half my NSW party filth!
See I know now we lack the guts to clean up our own act, we put wheelan the wrecker in charge of the party he wrecked.
Paul, a mate of mine in need of a good political party to join, try,s the school yard kid thing , names and stuff.
But it is time the combined union/ALP movement looked at those we drove away and continue to drive away.
Loudmouth I feel was once our middle ground.
We can not correct the very left, we did as we needed to run away from them.
But who in the hell will run towards us if we sugar coat the current union filth campaign ?
We are not being smart, my party,s the best choice for my country is looking worm infested as it protects an ever diminishing union membership.
We can and should take the high moral ground and bring voters to us, FIRST STOP SEATS FOR EX UNION LARD HEADS.
And next report the filth to police if not will the last member to leave the building switch off the light that once shone on the hill?
Its a junk pile of hidden filth at present!

Translated: 'Sweeping it under the carpet and doing the ostrich always worked before but now it has become public and curse Little Willie Shorten for over-playing his hand and challenging the government to 'Bring it on', and that *expletive* Abbott called the bluff'.

I can see embarrassment and anger that the carpet might be ripped back, but no real penitence for all of the skullduggery and abuses that have occurred over the year.

To be brutally frank Belly:

(1) If Labor and unions (supporters too!) could wave a magic wand to make this all secret squirrel again, they would do it in a heart-beat just carry on business as usual; and,

(2) Your real problem is that the public is now awake to (1) above; but,

(3) Labor and unions will anger the public even more by trying to discredit the Royal Commission and by rolling logs in front of it.

At some stage the unions and the 'Progressives' are likely join forces, and with the help of the Greens Watermelon Party, bury Labor. As far as the 'Progressives' are concerned, Labor must be nearing the end of its usefulness as an apparatus and source of contacts and money. Divert the union $$ to the Progressives and cut out the discredited middle man. The only hindrance to the 'Progressives' becoming a party in their own right is that the 'Progressives' by nature and choice like to parasitise another body.

Occupy the Democrats shell? LOL
