Hi Amos
Perhaps you might like to do some further research, Stoic.
Well, here is a bit more from Google, Wikipedia:
In that dispute, we saw a Prime Minister actively facilitating: Use of 'the troops' (RAAF) to help defeat the walkout by a key body of airline employees; The bringing of common law actions for breach of contract against individual pilots to the same end; Use of Sections 45D and 45E of the Trade Practices Act for the same purpose; The import of foreign pilots to take the place of Australian pilots who had withdrawn their labour; The import of charter aircraft (and associated foreign crews) to supply services being withheld by the Australian pilots; and even The provision of some kind of financial assistance designed to assist a major employer (Ansett Airlines) and thus help 'keep it in the field' until the Australian Federation of Air Pilots had been crushed. Mr Hawke's zeal in all these matters thus went even further than our own. The H.R. Nicholls Society had never argued that a body of employees should not have the right to be represented by a union (or Association) of their own free choosing, a basic right which Mr Hawke and Sir Peter Abels were determined to deny to the pilots.

It would be to your advantage.
Can you please elaborate and explain why it would be to my advantage to do some further research?
Kind regards
