Given Tony Abbott's and Julie Bishops long history protecting and defending CSR and Hardies Asbestos mining and trashing Asbestos victims there is no doubt Asbestos mining will restart under an Abbott govt.

Abbotts cuts to public health and hospitals along with workchoices mark 2 will ensure that Asbestos mines are even bigger death traps than they were in previous decades.
And dont even think of taking the companies to court because it wont take long for Julie Bishop to make any legal action impossible.

Yes and we can be sure the unions will respond.     ;)

... and we can be sure you have proof backing up your utter nonsense. Oh, right. Look who I'm talking about!

Adelcrow is of course being facetious, however there is plenty proof that workers need to be extremely wary of Abbott. After a year of donning funny hats, rolling his sleeves up and mixing it with the workers, Abbott sold out his working buddies by voting against legislation increasing the protection for workers who lose their entitlements when companies go under.

Quote:

“This is a law which protects workers and their families at a time of need, yet the Coalition can not bring themselves to support it, because they do not understand how important it is for workers.” “When companies go bust, many workers miss out on payments they are legally entitled to, on top of losing their jobs. “Workers often have little or no say during bankruptcy proceedings, and end up losing their entitlements through no fault of their own. “This bill closes the gaps and ensures that redundancy entitlements are paid up to four weeks per year of service. Under the new legislation, employees will be protected if their employer is subject to deed of company arrangements, or equivalent bankruptcy proceedings. Mr Oliver said the bill contained safeguards which ensure the system can only be used in cases of genuine insolvency, and not as a way for employers to avoid their obligations. “This is a balanced and sensible piece of legislation. The Coalition should be ashamed that they did not support it.” ACTU Secretary Dave Oliver

Sensible legislation that should have had bipartisan support. Instead, Abbott sold out the workers once again. Workers should understand a future Abbott government will most likely tear down legislation that ensures they do not lose redundancy pay, long-service leave or holiday pay if their employers go bankrupt.

As a worker you vote for Abbott at your own risk.

Hopefully mental health spending will increase under a coalition government and MOTR mouth, I'mcrookinthehead and crow brains can get the help they desperately need.

So you're against workers getting paid their full entitlements.

Yep, I dream of the day when you can just give an employee a food parcel at the end of the week instead of a paycheck  ;D
