otb,

Nope. Nothing new to read.

Yawn.

Beach, not only did this Michael O’Brien contribute to his parties defeat at the recent state election, it would seem besides the people of Victoria rejecting O'Brian, when he threw his hat in the ring for the job of Opposition Leader, his party rejected him as well. Obviously a person we can't have a great deal of confidence in, but you can.

Paul1405,

You are imagining things. Both sides of the Victorian parliament are critical of the bullying tactics of the CFMEU thugs. The CFMEU is acting illegally and should be shunted into court quick smart.

What campaign funds have the Greens received from this notorious, rogue union?

Beach, if both sides of politics are critical of the CFMEU, what was the point of your headline?

Foxy, did you actually read the article? The only foreign workers are the experts supervising the placing of the concrete. How many workers in the hard hit Geelong area do you think can be relied upon to ensure the same standard of results?

Dear Aidan,

The following link may help to clarify some of
the problems associated with international
organisations like ALDI being allowed to spread
their tentacles in this country and help us to
understand why we should be concerned:

There is plenty of innovation in concreting. It cannot be hit or miss for obvious reasons. Watching some sacrificial plastic formwork being laid this am. It is a new design. Problems in all of the stages from the truck (cinched too tight) on.

Wishing to hell that the idiots in charge of immigration would take some thousands of the skilled young tradies available in Northern Europe, Ireland and Scotland, instead of adding to the Centrelink queues with hordes from *bleep*istan, Africa and so on. Immigration policy has been that way for years. A 'lucky country' no more in the very near future.

Anyhow, back to the CFMEU, where it is all about power for union bosses whose very last concern is a merry Xmas for the workers forced to pay them subs.
