Unfortunately he is right. They were used by labor against the wharfies a long, long time ago and they still regret it.

Here you go....
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1949_Australian_coal_strike

Once legislation is passed (and amended) the Government (any) will be able to call in the military to deal with what ever situation they deem necessary....The military should only be used to defend our nation and it's allies not policing the population....We already have anti terrorism squads in the police force who could have taken out the terrorist but were denied....The problem is soft cocks more worried about their own career than calling the kill when needed!!!

Angry

What is happening?

A rapid descent down a very slippery slope.

The slippery slope has already been slipped and is very sloppy.
And it all started with legalizing a filthy, perverted practice of SSM.

You don't need a link, just historical knowledge.
Or the ability to google.

Quote:

The 1949 Australian coal strike was the first time that Australian military forces were used during peacetime to break a trade union strike. The strike by 23,000 coal miners lasted for seven weeks, from 27 June 1949 to 15 August 1949, with troops being sent in by the Ben Chifley Federal Labor government to the open cut coal mines in New South Wales on 28 July 1949, with the workers returning to work, defeated, two weeks later.

I wasn't there but I do remember it.
Don't say I don't do stuff for you.
