Some posters are putting a lot of weight on public perception. The bottom line is that the owners of
all the mainstream media in Australia are on the side of Joyce and the Free Traders who control the government. No matter how many
PR people you hire, the front page result will be the same. You will need to develop the stomach for a fight where you will not get support from the average punter - the issues are too complicated.
It comes down to solidarity - amongst yourselves and with other occupations that are being threatened by offshoring. If 90% of LH pilots vote and 90% of
them vote for PIA - then you are in business, regardless of the MSM spin.
