All power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Of course there is corruption in the unions - I'm pretty sure everyone on all sides of the poitical spectrum knew that already. I also agree with Malcolm Turnbull that if the proposed reforms work then the Unions will emerge stronger and more relevant. The problem will be if the findings of the Royal Comission are used as an excuse to emasculate the unions, because, corruption is not confined  exclusively to the Left and  given the opportunity,  employers (not each individual employer but generically) would be every bit as unscrupulous

It will be interesting to read which unions in particular are corrupt according to the report.  I'm hoping one of them will be the union I'm supposed to belong to because the fees are so high yet they don't appear to achieve much.  Sometimes I wonder where the money is going....which is why I don't trust them and wouldn't sign up even if hell froze over.

As for the political parties.....both Liberal and Labor seem to have a sense of entitlement that is so far removed from reality that they appear to be truly blinkered when it has been pointed out to them that they have done the wrong thing.  Frankly, I don't tthink there is much to choose between them.  Both parties think they live in The Land of Take What You Want (...with apologies to Enid Blyton).

I have been sitting thinking what

On earth onions have to do with

Corruption and the labor party.

Then it clicked.

Unions,  not onions.:)

Although it's quite possible that

A semi-trailer full of onions might

Possibly corrupt a herd of dairy

Cows if it tipped and rolled into

Their paddock. 

Thats all I have to say about that

Subject.:)

Fortunately:)

Onions may have had a minor role in the demise of our last PM. By eating one, skin and all, in front of the press, he made himself look ridiculous.

Onions are powerful things, not to be taken lightly.

Bob Hawke and Paul Keating are calling for the CFMEU to be ousted and never allowed to have the sway over the Labor party in future.

As for the power corrupts absolutely comment, false analogies does not address the issue of corrupt unions by trying to spread the blame onto others.

This is about corrupt unions, stand over unions, bully boy unions, thieving unions, lying unions, blackmailing unions. not other bodies.

they're everywhere the buggers...........Apparently Mal Brough has called for the Coalition of Bent Politicans

Union (CBPU) to come to his defence.... well .. at least I understand he has an appointment in his diary

( 60 minutes contend they have sighted the copies of same)

Unfortunately the CBPU themselves have their hands full at the moment as they  are currently assisting another (ex)

politician with a piffling international sexual harassment brouhaha...... no TONGUE IN/ON CHEEK intended

Hey I've got an idea...why not join two three political parties together to try and beat the labor scourges blue collared necks

back into the salt mines ....nah....strike that.....

it's been done before

[colic2bullsgirlore]

.....hic.....

So, who thinks using union members money for your own personal gain is defensible? Who thinks unions should be under the same governance as companies and criminal charges laid for stealing.

[***super_nova***]

Corruption is not defensible, just as it is not defensible when companies underpay their workers and then bully them into working many hours unpaid.   The thing is that ll these millions of dollars spent on the commission achieved  very little.  As far as I know they found about 40 cases of "irregularities" and only 6 were handed over to the courts, with no guarantee of the corruption charge sticking.
