Election trigger registered organisation bill passes Senate
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national...0565fd7af0
Â
Massively important  this - it was one of the triggers for the double dissolution.
Â
Largely unreported by the ABC - so far.

As for the wall - it's big!! About 1500km wide!

The art of compromise and the art of understanding what is possible given your circumstances appears to have made a bit of a come back in political circles.
Â
This is good for the country it implies moderation and progress.

Hi Peter. Have your power bills actually gone up?
I remember how my power prices would go up because of the carbon tax but in my case they stayed the same.
Also remember being told I would save $550 a year when the tax was axed. That didn't happen either but I'm in NSW.

"I don't disagree with that. But Andrews didn't shut the power station down. The owners did."
Â
Â
 So if I have a car and the government tax fuel to an extent that I can't afford - and I park up the car - that's nothing to do with the government?
Â
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm maybe?
Â
As for it not being the fault of Union Leaders for ripping off their membership - and it's really the fault of bad employers - same reasoning.

So you are claiming an under supply of energy if the station closes? On what grounds?
Â
I read a report some time ago that said Australia actually had an oversupply of electricity.
Â
No I'm not a "trade unionist" and I have no connection with HSU.
Â
I don't follow union news articles - penalty rates, yes, not union stuff.
Â
Kathy Jackson and Craig Thompson were sentenced for their crimes.
Â
7/11 ripping off workers happened more recently than that.

I reckon rogue employers are just as bad a rogue union officials!!!
Â
One is not better than the other, both live off the backs of regular, basically powerless, workers. Citing rogue employers as somehow justifying rogue union bosses is a furphy. Imagining that anger at rogue union bosses justifies rogue employers is just as silly.
Â
I am therefore very happy that the recent legislation aimed at both these groups was passed by the Senate - in spite of ALP attempts to block it.
Â
It appears a no brainer that the ALP would want to protect workers by shackling both bad union representatives and rogue employers.
Â
Â
But there you go it must be a bit more complicated than it appears.
Â
Â
Anger at rogue union bosses behaviour cannot reasonably be called Union Bashing.
Â
Ripping off union members and the community at large is just exactly that - dishonest - and now even more illegal.

Why would I bother putting up a link if you don't bother reading them?Â
That's about as ridiculous as saying that I'm born into some Labor sect whatever the F that means.
I'm happy to discuss how energy is sent into multiple states, including Victoria via the NEM if you're really interested in the subject. If not, then why are you wasting your time and mine?
