Tony Abbott’s announcement of a royal commission into trade unions will costs taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars in a cynical bid to bash his political opponents.

Support The Echo
Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
Mungo… let’s hear the truth mate. Are you happy with the idea of the ALP president (past) presiding over the HSU which represents poorly educated, mainly women workers who work shitty hours and jobs having their money embezzled by the leadership of the union and then seeing old mate Craig Thompson spending what’s left on hookers and champers?
Sure, get the police to investigate but let’s force the truth out and then hand it over to them. I love the double standard here. If it was an employer ripping off super money of these workers and spending it on hooker threesome all night romps then Mungo would be banging on about it 24/7.
Get with a bit of balance… What I really love about this whole union thing… They are all for the workers… yes ripping them off.

In a great Lbaor leader’s words Mungo, “fair suck of the sauce bottle”. It doesn’t mean that other areas shouldn’t be investigated but you cannot seriously think that Thomson and Co should keep doing what they’re doing. Pure luck that he got caught and how many more have been or are ripping off workers. Beautifully put by Brian previously in the fact that if it was employers ripping off the workers hard earned you would be leading the charge to have drawn and quartered! Should put Thomson in jail and repeal any legislation where he had a vote. Gillard had the gall to call others mysoginist when she had the most deceitful, cunning mysoginist right under her nose and her and her cronies knew it, were even paying his legal bills and staving off bankruptcy to keep his vote.
Well, How about we have a royal commission into the present government, I mean the stupidity, the lies, broken promises, it looks to me like the whole place is being run by crooks, cheats, liars, swindlers & every other lowlife around & jesus you have to vote them in, It appears there’s not many with any moral integrity in parliament………………………….
