LegalA Lost Cause
Well it has finally come down to this, our Labor Party run by politicians who would make better Liberals than the present ones. Chiefly and company must be turning in their graves at the antics of the present incumbents. Well it has come to this that for the first time Ill not be voting for the ALP. At the moment it is just a vehicle for the egos of the likes of Carr and his henchmen. I'm involved in the Prince of Wales and the maintenance and energy there is being sold off for some short term gains, fair enough the energy but to deprive workmen of their jobs and benefits is the ultimate horror for a party that has traditionally been the workers friend. I only wish the workers were more militant and castrate those bastards who have sold out on us. We were going to demo at Carrs house in Maroubra, interesting that the unions were against it ,all in bed together???well we might yet do it at his office in Maroubra,it will be the biggest disgrace the ALP has ever faced.And about time Carr's ego has got so big his head can't get through the door, maybe bringing him down to earth might somehow save the ALP but I feel it's a lost cause now. Mike P.S. Your editorial on the alp hit the mark, maybe we should as unionists stop giving donations that are in the end used against us. It's the first time in my experience that the victim is paying the assasin Carr and his henchmen. Well I'm going to leave the union as I don't want my money going to them.
