It's the attack on their power base that really upsets the unions, and drives them to their current mendacity.
..."This is what Professor, the honourable Bob Carr said yesterday, 'There will be more jobs and higher wages in Australia if the China free trade agreement goes ahead'," he quoted the former Labor state and federal politician as saying...

You're certainly proud of what dear leader Abbott and comrade Robb have signed us up for.
It's curious that Waleed, (a noted and biased leftist) criticizes tactics created and honed by the left. What a hypocrite.
Shortly after Tony Abbott won the 2009 Liberal Party leadership spill, Fraser ended his Liberal Party membership, stating the party was "no longer a liberal party but a conservative party".

I'm wondering what the difference is between bringing in thousands of itinerant semi skilleds from China compared to allowing boat loads of religious, unskilled, social welfares into Australia? Or should be ban the lot of them?
It just seems hypocritical of the largely atheist labour movement to parade it's social consciencerolleyes credentials about skyfairy lovin', asylum seekers and wot not, then get upset that a bunch of self funded, brainwashed commo human drones might become a wrecking ball to wages and conditions..... get 'em drunk, take 'em to a footy match, assimilate them and the conditions will be retained..... and no Astrolord with a bunch of rules to get in the way.
Malcolm Fraser drifted ever further to the Left as time went on.
Think you'll find the Liberals are more religious than the Labor movement.
Howard was proud for being a Big Australia PM, but I don't remember any leadership over thelast decade or more actually having an honest discussion with us as to is high population growth good for us, and how are we going to afford it. I'd argue much of the $45B spent on the east coast electricity infrastructure was to cope with pop demand. DeSal plants in Syd and Mel also mostly due to pop growth. Road and rail at breaking points in most cities.
I'd prefer to shut our borders for a few years until someone comes up with a way to pay for the population growth that doesn't cost those already here the quality of life they currently enjoy.

Not that it's relevant, but do you call $80/head fund raising, it's cost recovery at best.
You lost me at "extreme right wing power nut Fraser" ifocus.
Anyone who believes Fraser was extreme right wing is not thinking rationally.
"Life wasn't meant to be easy"
Could you ever image any of the current bunch freeloaders having the arrogance to say that?
Most are clouded by Frasers later road to Damascus move.
He was in the day far more ruthless and aggressive than Abbott would ever hope to be as he seized power used a drunk to throw out Gough Whitlam fro government.

Chief freeloader Joe (I have never paid for a tank of fuel in my life) Hockey fits the bill.
I'd be inclined to vote for the UK torries or NZ National party. They just seem more liberal than the aussie version.
Nods in agreement.
Its really been a bizarre period in Australian politics like no other with Abbott a caricature for some dimwit that must repeat ad infinitum every liar three worded slogan repeatedly that now no one believes.
So use lotsa 417's and send them home when tenure is up? Works for me ... does that make a bigot ... I can live with that.
Unemployment is increasing, I don't think that there are signs that there is a labour shortage. More emphasis and money invested in trades training wouldn't go astray in the long term.
Who wants to be a tradie when you can earn lots more for a 38 hour week, have weekends off, holidays off, etc for just moving forms and sheets around offices to make the super numerated boss' work load light.
