Just another bit of news you might like to read about the unions getting their way under Rudd, who made such a song and dance about keeping them in check during the campaign.
Witness the exclusion of foreign ships - with foreign workers not loyal to (scared of) the Maritime Union - from running domestic routes in the country.
Transport Minister Anthony Albanese told The Australian last night: "This review will be about boosting Australia's international competitiveness and finding ways to increase coastal shipping's share of the domestic freight market."
Um, how is decreasing competition by regulating the market to exclude competators going to increase our competativeness? Does a sports team get more competative when they have no-one to play against? Not in this universe.
Labor is lying again, as they did all year, because they want to turn the country into a holiday home for layabouts and blue-collar bozos, and they want you to pay for it. They want to milk the Aussie taxpayer dry and live in the lazy manner to which they have become accustomed.
For those who still don't get it, the ALP and the union movement are one and the same thing. Rudd is not beholden to the unions. He IS the unions.
You've been conned.
SUCKERS!!!!!!
