    Be very wary of any legislation that limits the rights of labour to organise, and to negotiate. Once workers lose their collective bargaining power, next they lose their job security, then their standard of living, upward mobility and ultimately their enfranchisement.

    The banks have virtually stopped lending to farmers, writes cattleman and veteran columnist John Carter. There needs to be a rethink in the role of the Reserve Bank in society and the cherished position of the banking oligopoly. via

    Where is your coverage of how the Commbank CEO departure for near identical reasons didn’t seem to bother Westpac? That this is a systemic issue that won’t be fixed by rotating highly paid CEO’s? I wouldn’t call your coverage ‘epic’, rather disappointing.

    Dutton and his hand-picked senior ABF cronies are amoral, unaccountable and asinine if they think they can pull the "verbal advice only" card and not be held up for scrutiny over their lack of procedural integrity. The APS keeps paper trails for a reason.

    For those following the case, I FOIed the department for advice Dutton said he'd had about moving the family to Christmas Island. FOI decision said no documents existed, so I appealed. Now they say it was just verbal advice given to Dutton by the ABF.
