Sacked Mum Has Last Laugh
League legend Tommy Raudonikis and Opposition Leader Kim Beazley will this weekend confront the Liberal backbencher who laughed at a sacked Canberra mum.
Childcare worker, Emily O'Connor, is flying to Queensland for what promises to be the highlight of a Brisbane bayside fun day.
Local Liberal MP, Andrew Laming, is expected to attend.
The last time the childcare worker heard from Laming was when he laughed at her in Federal Parliament and told her to get a job.
The jibes came as the Prime Minister was being questioned about O'Connor's dismissal from the Blinky Bill Childcare Centre.
Laming is under fire from working families, in Canberra and his own electorate, for his treatment of O'Connor.
Electrical Trades Union (ETU) organiser, Allen Hicks, is calling on Laming to justify his "ruthless and heartless conduct".
Hicks said Laming should justify why he so enthusiastically supports taking away people's rights at work.
Beazley will be the keynote speaker at the Family Fun Day at Raby Bay Harbourside Park this Saturday, July 1, with anti-Workchoices campaigner, Roudonikis, also pencilled in for an appearance.
