Well I don't see Rudd scrapping AWA's ever. They'll be left in place for those who feel they can negotiate better than the collective contract. It will be interesting though to see what tragic reasoning he puts forward for doing so.
Perhaps it will be something like why he's not scrapping the GST.
I saw him interviewed by Kerry O'Brien and asked, "Since you were amongs the strongest opponents of the GST, will you be scrapping it?"
The answer, "Well no Kerry, that's been part of government policy so it will stay."
One who thinks even semi logically would have to apply the same reasoning to AWA's, wouldn't one?
What must be appreciated is that AWA's do serve many better than the collective contracts negotiated by unions, and less than 2% of workers in this country work under AWA's.
