I'm a pilot too. I just have my own opinion (if that isn't obivous!) on ethical decision making
You're an Air Force pilot I believe. You've never had your pay or conditions eroded, nor had to sign divisive and secretly hierarchical AWAs. You have never had to take it in the blurter since Work Choices came in, actually you've probably never negotiated a salary individually or collectively - full stop.
There is a chap floating around PpruNe by the moniker of
Dutch Roll, who is also an ex Herc driver now with QF I believe, who posts fair and centrist views that are at odds with your purely theoretical; zero private sector real world industrial experience; and, right wing ideology - so it can't be an RAAF brainwashing thing.
If you can't say something positive, don't say anything. Support these people, its within the law and for the benefit of the aviation industry as a whole.
