A Royal Commission into Union corruption? Why?

[i-need-a-martini]

Is this really necessary given that it is a criminal matter?

Like how much does a Royal Commission cost? $400million? $600million?

And why is it that the Liberal Party are forever making the excuse that the 'public' have concerns and this is the reason they have to do something? ("Senator Brandis confirmed...it would be "irresponsible for the government not to respond in an appropriate way" to public concerns."). What concerns? I think the public is more concerned about the secrecy regarding the governments handling of the asylum seekers yet they don't think THOSE public concerns are important.

yes and then all no

now l shall ask you a question: Where have you aquired your knowledge/opinion of socialism?

[poddster]

I am here because i have lived under a communist regime, as no doubt others on this forum.

What sort of democracy will Australia be when the Loony Nutters kill off Labor and we end up with only one extreme right wing party?

Freaki, why are you so afraid that you beloved party will be killed off?

Once again you are demonstrating your lack of faith in the awareness of the public at large.

To have a efficient and just administration it needs the will of the majority of the population to be supportive in a democracy and like it or not we do have a democracy

Another quote from Marx for you =

All forms of the state have democracy for their truth, and for that reason are false to the extent that they are not democracy.

What answer were you seeking, boris?

Plodder, it's not my beloved party.  I'm against the vindictive behaviour of those who seek to kill off a political party for their own benefit.

What sort of democracy will it be with only one party remaining to elect?

There were also many whites who migrated to australia from south africa after the end of apartheid.

Boris, do you really think that by quoting Marx you will convince anyone that communism is a viable form of government?

It has been rejected the world over, all bar a handful of countries which are still held in the vice grip of dictators.

Communism is a failed experiment much like the Labor party of today
