Vote for thuggery

Support for jailed hardline unionist. Thinking of voting ALP. This is what you will get. Don’t think for one moment that the Left-wing unions will have no say in Australia -they will. Latham can’t ignore the left-wing for ever – he owes them and they will call in their markers.

FIFTEEN union leaders have issued a declaration that their jailed militant colleague Craig Johnston was “only doing his job” and put behind bars because he was an effective unionist. The group, all senior left-wing figures from mainstream unions, said that no trade unionist should be imprisoned for taking part in an industrial dispute. Johnston, they said, had been hounded, repeatedly dragged through the courts, then jailed. Among the Victorian-based national and state officials to offer wholehearted support to Johnston are Martin Kingham, Dean Mighell, Steve Dargavel, Michele O’Neil, Len Cooper and Bronwyn Halfpenny.
