Quote:the unions donate huge amounts to the ALP. why dont you complain about that nemesis?
=====================
The unions do not have the same exposure that the Murdock press has on influencing results or opinions on the every day person and to the same extent....especially when its voting time.
the donation of such large amounts shows what biasness and direction the murdock firm has .
Unions ARE in a different class altogether ....think about it.

News Corp boss Rupert Murdoch has been questioned by shareholders about a series of large donations made to right-wing organisations.
Normally a tightly controlled and sober affair, the News AGM was diverted by questions about million-dollar donations to the Chamber of Commerce and Republican Governors Association.
The American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organisations representative Laura Shaffer Campos politely but pointedly wanted to know why the donations had been made.
Mr Murdoch said the donations had nothing to do with the editorial opinions of the corporation.
'It has nothing to do with the editorial policies, or the journalism, or the films, or anything else,' he told the meeting.
However, he did say the donations were aimed at driving changes in Washington DC.
'It is certainly in the interests of the country ... that there be a fair amount of change in Washington.'
He did not elaborate on that comment.
News board member Rod Eddington was also pressed on the donations.
'The board takes advice from the management team and considers it on that basis and also refers it to the company's general counsel,' Sir Rod told the meeting.
