purely labour-based, union dominated parties are on the nose everywhere, and have been for a long time.
and where would they be? Our Govt may be on the nose, they are union dominated but they certainly can't be seen as labour-based. Their ultimate masters are the same business leaders that control the Liberal party. I only make this observation from seeing and working with it first hand.
To keep this on thread. This Govt. must enforce the intent of the Qantas sale act to prevent the wholesale destruction of our National airline. The Govt. have the tools to act but their masters won't let them. For HM this means an airline that bases its facilities onshore and can't set up a second airline with Qantas funds, routes, landing slots and support services to avoid the confines of the Act.
