Well, well, well. What do you know?

More hypocrisy from the Green/Labor left wing socialist and the trade unions.

Quite happy to employ people in the unions using 457 visas.

It it is time they stopped their campaign against the Chinese.

I'm not sure $118,000 is tantamount to slavery, but paying people from overseas to rather simplistic jobs instead of locals smacks of the old cultural cringe factor I thought we left at the door when Paul Keating rose to power and championed Australians versus the world.
 
Labor eager for union corruption to continue.

Labor eager for union officials to exploit workers.

Labor votes accordingly.

Jennifer Oriel sums up the Green/Labor coalition tactics of distraction and diversion away from the real Labor issues....They champions at deflection away from themselves.

Without the din of minority issues, the ALP sounds like an echo chamber of technocrats and tribalists fighting for the title of biggest loser at the next election. The campaign for gay marriage is a crucial distraction from Labor’s policy vacuity and union corruption, which is why it is championing from opposition what it wouldn’t countenance in office. The distraction tactic of the ALP and its press corps comrades shows that the triumph of truth over spin poses the greatest threat to Labor’s hope for electoral victory next year.

The royal commission investigation into union corruption and the ACTU’s campaign to oust Tony Abbott suggests the faceless men loathed by voters are still running the Labor Party, subordinating the needs of workers to factional technocrats.

The ALP is so desperate for a high-visibility victory to deflect public attention away from its no-policy platform and rampant corruption that it would deny Australians a plebiscite on marriage reform to get it.

One thing Labor could never be accused of policy "vacuity ". If anything it's their overt emphasis and dogged pleonastic adhesion to policy that gets them into trouble.
 
Bishop-basher Burke's big budget

The Labor MP who led the attack on Bronwyn Bishop over parliamentary entitlements has reportedly slugged taxpayers more than $4.5 million over seven years.

On average, Labor frontbencher Tony Burke has claimed $60,000 in entitlements every month since July 2008.

NewsCorp reports that it includes close to $2.2 million for travel costs, including charter planes and VIP jets.

He has accrued almost $600,000 in overseas travel despite never serving as a foreign minister.

Mr Burke has also charged taxpayers $2.4 million in office and phone expenses.

A review into the entitlements system is expected to be finalised early next year

Close your eyes please.

It's all OK for Burke to spend up big at tax payers expenses...he a Labor MP.

Move on...nothing to see here.

Labor frontbencher Tony Burke has charged taxpayers close to $2.2 million for travel costs, including charter planes and flying on VIP jets, it's been reported.

An investigation by The Daily Telegraph has found that since mid-2008, the manager of opposition business and opposition finance spokesman had racked up almost $600,000 in overseas travel.

Mr Burke, who served as agriculture and environment minister in the Gillard and Rudd cabinets, is also a regular charter flight user, claiming more than $400,000 in domestic travel, News Corp reported on Monday.

The investigation found that the Sydney MP, who led the attack on former speaker Bronwyn Bishop's hiring of a helicopter to attend a Liberal Party fundraiser, claimed more than $1.1 million on domestic fares, travelling allowance, car costs and family travel.

This sounds like nonsense to me. I think we'll find that story gets buried pretty quickly once the expenses of others is revealed.

Newscorp is slipping so badly in circulation that it is almost in death throes, and it's solution is to plumb the depths for the bold headline, that is almost always "Labor" based. Most of my friends have ceased subscribing to the Courier Mail and a majority of them are LNP supporters ... there is just no balanced reporting and it's mainly immature reporting at that. My next door neighbour is an absolute LNP tragic and even he avidly watches the Bolt Report for the circus value rather than the dim hope it might actually have some meritorious value.

These stories are at best schlock to the public these days. Nothing surprises us and we tend not to believe them as anything but sour and vitriol.

Yes, it's all relative isn't it ?

$4 million sounds like, and is, a lot of money, but how does it compare to other Ministers in the current and past governments ?

What is pretty clear is that if all the Ministers rack up this sort of expenditure, then it's a big hit to the taxpayer.

I don't mind Ministers getting around to talk to the community, but I don't see why they have to be at it all the time.

Rudd continually popped up all over the country, and now Abbott seems to be doing it as well.

Yes he was only the minister for agriculture, environment and immigration for 6-7 years. That wouldn't require as much travel as being the Speaker of the House.

The whole thing smacks of a joke, but the again I suspect the Labor Party are fueling this one so they can deny, then out the real spendthrifts; my bet is they smoke cigars or frolic in the surf.
 
I'm guessing the latest "correction" in the markets is once again the fault of Labor? :rolleyes:

Barnacle Bill is starting to realize he is a puppet to the unions and does not know what to do about it......Some Labor MPs wait every morning for their instructions from the unions.

No doubt Martin Ferguson is treading on thin ice and his future with the Labor Party certainly looks uncertain.

And yes dutchie, Martin Ferguson is probably the only one in the Labor Party who knows and tells the truth as he sees it.

http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/...e-union-movement/story-fnihslxi-1227497043327

Martin Ferguson told the ABC’s Four Corners program that Labor leader Bill Shorten had the ability to “embrace change” but it wasn’t possible without getting full support from the shadow ministry.

Mr Ferguson went as far to say that Opposition MPs now “wait for the phone call from the trade union heavy to tell them what to do”.


“Because too many of that shadow ministry and the Caucus are almost as if they’re prisoners of the union movement. It’s the union movement now who funds individual candidates, it’s the union movement who has such a big say on the preselection of not just the senators where they always had a big say,” he said.

“Unions have significant influence over preselections for both Senate and Lower House seats in the Parliament.

“It’s almost as if they sit down now and divide the cake, you get that seat, we get that seat, left and right together and they dole out the prizes to their faithful.”

Contrary to his Labor colleagues, Mr Ferguson expressed his support for the Trade Union Royal Commission, saying it was an important step in helping reform the party and the trade union movement.
 
Can somebody tell me why the LUG Party are hell bent on destroying the CHAFTA?

What is in it for them to be telling such lies about it all with their adverse TV propaganda

It makes me want to throw up my weeties.

Greg Sheridan on Labor’s reckless pandering to a racist union campaign that puts Australia’s future in danger:

Almost everything Labor says about the [China-Australia Free Trade Agreement] is untrue or distorts the facts....

The misinformation is staggering. The clause in the FTA that says there is no need for prior labour market testing applies only to projects over $150 million. But in any event, as later clauses make abundantly clear, it is up to the Australian government in the context of any agreed project to set out what labour market testing is required… Not only that, any *Chinese worker coming for any project will still have to come in under the normal 457 visa process, which can be tightened at any time an Australian government wants.

There are a couple of tiny classes of people not subject to any market testing, such as those receiving business visas. How could you possibly market test someone applying for a business visa?

The whole Labor campaign is fearmongering and old-style protectionism… Labor’s retrograde campaign has already damaged Australia’s reputation in the eyes of investors and Chinese government officials… What they have never previously thought is that we are untrustworthy and capable of ratting on an agreement 10 years in the making…

This is an appalling show from Shorten’s Labor Party, one of the most nationally irresponsible *episodes I have witnessed in the past quarter century.

Ed Gannon:

THE Labor Party’s campaign to derail Australia’s trade agreement with China borders on treachery…

For the sake of making some cheap political, and populist, points at the behest of its union mates, the federal Opposition threatens to wreck an agreement vital to this nation…

China is now our biggest trade partner. And with the tariff reductions under this trade agreement, the export possibilities are huge, particularly for food.

What makes this deal so special is that unlike the iron ore boom of the past decade, our supply of food is renewable… It also means extra income will flow into the pockets of millions, not just those lucky few who hold mining licenses.

And our comrades in the LUG party want to know where the jobs are coming from when they are hell bent on destroying the prospects.
