If the electorate is so burdened and aghast at the new laws, then why does there need to be so much effort put into the union campagin?
It is more about union survival than a heart felt concern about the plight of the worker. They're scared, and the every last penny that they are allocating to this campaign highlights this more than anything else; an investment for survival. All I seem to hear is the same old rhetoric "working conditions cut, wages cut" etc, without any real substance.
Maybe the unions are in fact resigned to their fate? The top personnel seem to be heading for parliament, and well, that either indicates their is no future as a union delegate, or the cushy life of parliament is more appealing than the 'plight of the worker'..
It was good to see Gillard facing directly towards the Prime Minister on Monday in Question Time. She certainly showed she has more testicular mass than Rudd. Not a great fan of her, but I thought that at least showed she can confront the parliamentary debate..
