Strange indeed, unions want migrant workers to embed themselves into the country's voting system......for what?

No citizenship - no vote.

Earn it or forget it.

Damn - I used to know Tony Sheldon - if this is true he's losing it big time.

Maybe he needs to cop out and take a nice retirement job in the Senate instead of remaining a staunch Union man.

'Stop wasting our time, Grendel.'  These 'judgements' of yours delivered as though from 'on high' are wearing very thin.  Demonstrate why your criticism of Sheldon is justified.  Because you say so, does not even open the jar of mustard.

I can't help it if you are uneducated, inexperienced and ignorant of the subject...
Do us all a favour and learn how to use GOOGLE that may help.

Buggered if I am gonna do your work for you.  'Stop wasting our time, Grendel.'  Further, cease your 'libels of me.'  'Libel is a crime you know.'  And finally, stop 'lying about me.'

As a past Union delegate I've met with Tony Sheldon and he is very genuine and intelligent man.

He could opt out and take a safe seat in Parliament and get fat, but he chooses not to.

Where this idea is coming from is beyond me...very internationalist to me and quite absurd.

Cheap Labor votes. You gotta get then where you can.

It will never happen and nor should it....Voting should only be for citizens and is obviously just a distraction from the real agenda....


Quote:
Mr Sheldon is also calling for migrant workers to be given mandatory access to union representation in Australia, and for employers wanting to bring in migrant workers to have to acquire a licence and go on a public register.


The unions want control of the migrant workforce....Not a good idea IMO!!!

Given what I am used to here in Australia, I cannot understand why my daughter (an Aussie) who lives and works in Scotland gets a vote.  But, she does.  Maybe that is what Sheldon is drawing on....a UK model.

Well my recollection is that most public prognostications from him have been inordinately stupid and biased.

I don't care about your 'recollection' Grendel.  Post proof, not your idea of history, or 'stop wasting my time.'
