Here are a few exerpt.
"An enormous amount of policy and process is there to be dissected. The government is so manically pushing legislation through the Senate that it has extended the final sitting day to Friday and given notice it intends to gag debate on 53 bills this week. This even includes the legislation that is the basis of the federal referendum, the Constitution Alteration (Local Government) Bill 2013
.
This is preposterous. It is the latest dysfunction and dishonesty from the Gillard government, an insult to the electorate and to the democratic process. If the government is unwilling to debate the referendum measure in Parliament, and has allocated 10 times as much funding to support the referendum case as to put an opposing case, the referendum is clearly a Trojan Horse for extending federal power to local government and needs to be defeated. None of this would be possible without the Greens."
This is a typical ploy used by Gillard and Labor on many odious bills that have been ramroded and passed into law.
The damage that has been done using this tactic will take years to undo.
"Underlying the Prime Minister's determination to use power while she can, on Wednesday she was in the Parliament expressing her determination to prop up General Motors Holden, which has so far received almost $2 billion in government subsidies: ''Yes, this government will support jobs in car making! Yes, we will continue the co-investments we have agreed to with Holden. Yes, we will do everything we can to resist the opposition's plan to rip half a billion dollars away from that industry support and cost 2000 hardworking Australians their jobs … So let me be very clear that we will never endorse the reckless plan to see those thousands of Australians thrown on the unemployment scrap heap.''
Protecting the only power she has, Unions, she is using tax dollars to keep her butt in the Lodge.
"Under Gillard, even bills that do not appear to be about extending union power, such as this week's amendments to the Aged Care Act, are really moves to extend union power. The government is offering $1.2 billion to increase salaries for aged care workers - but there are always union strings attached. To access this funding it will be almost impossible to negotiate an enterprise bargaining agreement without a union being a party. The union beneficiary here is the corrupt Health Services Union, which will be getting an indirect billion-dollar handout to fund a recruiting drive and gain access to non-union workplaces."
Corruption anyone?
"It goes on and on. The bills being rammed through the Senate by Labor and the Greens this week are the tail ends of a massive shift in power to the unions, which has resulted in a marked up-tick in union militancy."
Sertting land mines
Union corruption is going to haunt Gillard, the Labor brand, and the Greens in the coming months. And let us not forget that Victoria Police are continuing an investigation, and issuing search warrants, into money laundering by former officials of the Australian Workers Union at a time when Gillard was providing legal advice to people who were union officials then and are under police investigation now.

As for posting these endless scrollers from some unsubstantiated misfit with a grudge, give us all a break & take a day off.

If you truly believe that it is against community values, I am sure you will do the right and noble thing and press the button. That should make you feel much better. 🙂
