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

If you knew anything you'd agree. Cheesy

'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.

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.'

Reply #11 - May 19^th, 2015 at 5:37pm 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.

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!!!

Reply #14 - May 19^th, 2015 at 5:58pm 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.
