ALP must apologise for union war crimes
AS a backdrop to today’s Australia Day celebrations, the Labor/Green Left is working itself into a lather over plans to review the flawed national education curriculum.

Bad luck Sarah, but that boat won’t float
OUR ABC, and Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young, choked the pre-election airwaves with wild predictions that the Coalition’s turn-back-the-boats policy was unworkable.

Bully boys and bodgy barbecues
THE ACTU is leaving nothing to chance in this election. As union members continue to opt out of the dying movement and union leaders scramble for seats in Federal Parliament (the ALP’s lifeboat), union bosses are targeting remaining members in a campaign with ominous precedents.Union HQ has authorised its stormtroopers to zero in on the nearly quarter of a million members who live in marginal seats _ and work on them to ensure they vote the union line.Using computer programs rather than the brick-through-the-window terror favoured by groups such as Hitler’s nazis, Stalin’s communists and Mao’s Red Guard, union activists have been told to home in on church groups, faith organisations and family members.Union bosses are urging activists to contact members using an electoral data base search program – zeroing in on members in marginal electorates.The 75-page ACTU election strategy directs union officials to routinely contact members identified by the programs and bombard them with political material, even register them to vote if necessary.Despite all the nonsense about privacy legislation, those union members in swinging seats identified by the ACTU, will, in effect, be told: “We know who you are and we know where you live, we know how many are in your family and even if they are entitled to vote”.This is intimidating enough, but coming from an organisation associated with the Robespierre of Australian politics, Greg Combet (soon to parachute into a safe Labor seat) and Sharan Burrow, who arguably broke the International Labor Organisation’s rules with her attempts to politicise its dealings and has since been attempting to blacken Australia’s name in the global community, it is a deeply sinister development.The ACTU may claim it is merely providing information for its members to disseminate at barbecues but that response underestimates the collective intelligence of the average Aussie barbie.When the union stooge starts trumpeting the benefits of union membership and the ALP from a prepared set of question-and-answers most sensible people will see through the garbage and move the conversation on to more relevant issues – the weather or Paris Hilton.
