Well another way of looking at is, would the shareholders be happy, if the board said "we are going to introduce another board, to oversee us, as we can't actually do the job".How is it looking after the best interests of the business and shareholders to be taking sides in a highly polarising issue?
It's not like, say, supporting a legitimate charity such as guide dogs or surf life saving or something like disaster relief. Pretty much nobody's going to object to that.
Taking sides in an issue like this however, where's the upside? For every person who's happy about it, there's someone else who's unhappy.
You keep rolling out chestnuts, what about the pilots strike and using the military to strike break? cutting out single parent payments at 8 years old, wages accord and the 18% reduction in wages.Short memory SP "Banking Royal Commission " remember that?
Penalty rates taken from the lowest paid.
Opposition to pay rises etc.
We all know Labor are about to become communist's (through the Voice apparently) its true I read it on ASF
Still Labor are center right Coalition right to extreme right.
It's like Qantas, scratch my back and I'll scratch yours with the current govt in power. Most people have a memory like a goldfish, next year they'll be complaining about something else like house prices or rent.How is it looking after the best interests of the business and shareholders to be taking sides in a highly polarising issue?

@Smurf well put. as long as there are more No's than Yes's then all is good in my world.How is it looking after the best interests of the business and shareholders to be taking sides in a highly polarising issue?

It's divisive is my point.

Very few if any would object to a business choosing to support surf life saving, guide dogs, medical research or something that assists victims of crime, disasters or serious illness. There's nothing contentious there, practically nobody's going to oppose it.
On the other hand anything that's partisan political or religious and seen to be taking sides will upset many. Doesn't matter what the issue or which side they take, there'll be plenty on the other side.
That's the issue when it comes to business getting involved in this sort of thing. Same applies to local government stepping into state or federal matters or things like unions spending members' funds on issues having nothing at all to do with the union, its members or their workplaces.
All this raises a much broader issue about democracy and governance of the country.
A thought I have is that if we consider bubbles, that is financial market bubbles, and extend that concept more broadly then politics has become a rather large one.
We already have the NIAA with billions of funding, but that's not good enough apparently, they want another bureaucracy added.
Again you misquote me, I never said the coalition were good for workers, I said when the coalition are in they are held to account by the unions and the workers.No worries SP for the workers Coalition good Labor bad you making the case Labor are even further than right wing extremist, I never knew work non choices was so good.
Who supported the last fairwork commission hearings and who opposed them?
I think with this stupid Albo that we're going to get reparations and treaty whether the voice gets in or not, nothing wrong with it if it's done right but by looking at the recent land title grabs, it won't be long before people have a gut full of it and take things into their hands. How on earth can you give land back that is wedged in between 2 resorts that have been there for over 30 years and dissuade land use that has roads and walking paths in the middle after all that time? That's the type of vindictive intimidation that happening in Qld.
Do a Google search on aboriginal advisory bodies, there are heaps of them spunging off the system.
And they just want more and more
