Union lies apparently not getting through

The Federal Government is secretly planning tougher workplace laws if it wins the upcoming election, Labor’s deputy leader Julia Gillard claims. Maybe research is telling Julia and her union bosses that people aren’t copping the lies being pedalled by the Unions. Her panic attack is based on a statement by Workplace Relations Minister Joe Hockey, who said there was a need for further workplace reform to maintain a strong economy. Joe Hockey told the Nine Network the Government had no plans to further toughen up workplace relations laws. But he minister added:

“Any government that rests on its laurels in terms of economic reform, be it tax reform, be it workplace relations reform or any reform, is going to see the economy dip. “We want the economy to remain strong.”

I can understand the ALP not understanding that.
