Jonny ST, you are probably right about mainstream, selling papers and boring (or most people's low threshold of boredom).

But what about the loss of 35 thousand jobs at the stroke of a pen? Do you remember the ****storm in the aftermath of Ansett's demise? Nothing boring there but a lot of people with no income and subsequent loss of family and loss of life in some cases. Or is that just fodder for next week's headlines?

How about seeking out the other side of the story? For a union (ALAEA) formed in the early '60s that has never been in the least bit militant to suddenly find itself the vanguard of industrial relations in this country must surely warrant a few questions as to why. Care to take up the challenge JST?
