In the meantime, Josh Frydenberg is preparing a Bill to prevent the funding of Class Action suits against Companies as there has been a 325% increase in the past decade or in the 7 years since the LNP came to power in 2013. No mention, however, has been made of the Royal Commission findings since then. Like that unions were fundamentally clean and well managed compared to banks and the business world. Where cultures developed and have led to wholesale theft from clients along with wage and superannuation theft from workers. Together with funding a growing specialist industry devoted to tax evasion.
Remember when Tony Abbott sacked 1200 well-trained ATO senior investigators specialists in corporate tax evasion and allowed companies to self-assess and negotiate the tax they are prepared to pay? Not so the unions who were threatened to be shut down for even the most trivial infractions.
A $60 billion error in what was a necessary stimulus is not about to be diverted to the workers they recently turned their backs on. In other words, the urgent stimulus they proposed needed to recycle cash flow back into the economy is now no longer needed. when They bragged about the $130 Bill but now not even 12% of the $60 Bill saved is available to the workers they threw under a bus left out to hang dry and fend for themselves. That's the true nature of this LNP neoliberal beast's need to keep the ultra-right happy. Yet they are proudly re-directing $$ to "new technologies" subsidizing the fossil fuel industry. That old oxymoronic bullshit promise of "clean coal" has now been re-named "cleaner coal" and they are giving companies money to try to "carbon capture" in the short term rather than "decarbonise" in the long by using renewables. This smoke and mirror scam is to be sold to us by Murdoch and the newly formed CH9 Media. Propagandists for the IPA and their other lobbyists and donors while muzzling the ABC (ODT)
BREAKING: the Federal Court has delivered a fantastic decision which upholds our win in the matter of WorkPac v Skene.
It puts an end to the 'permanent casual' rort that has become a scourge in coal mining and across the workforce. Our Union has worked hard to clarify the law with this decision and we will now be fighting to restore rights and lost pay for casual labour hire workers who have been illegally ripped off.
A big shout out to our amazing legal team and our member Paul Skene for taking on this fight.
