Bring back the Boats says the ACTU
Jul 20th, 2018 at 10:06am
 
https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/unions-demand-bill-shorten-make-chang...

POWERFUL union leaders are set to demand Bill Shorten stops turning back people-smuggling operations at sea and ends offshore detention, putting pressure on the politician they helped elevate into the leadership.

The Daily Telegraph can reveal the final policy document of the ACTU, the unions’ peak body, voted on by all of its affiliated unions on Wednesday, calls for “an end to offshore solutions” that breach Australia’s international obligations under the UN Refugee Convention, along with stopping the practice of turning around boats full of illegal arrivals.

The ACTU confirmed this policy document will form the basis of a list of demands the unions will make on Mr Shorten at the ALP National Conference in December, ahead of the federal election.

“The offshore ‘processing’ system of asylum seekers in Nauru and Manus Island is discriminatory, and lacks transparency and independent oversight,” the ACTU congress policy document states.

SHARRI MARKSON: WHY SHORTEN IS BEHOLDEN TO UNIONS

“Congress rejects other policies of ‘deterrence’ implemented alongside offshore detention, especially intercepting and turning back boats at sea, or transferring refugees to other vessels for immediate return to their countries of origin without a proper assessment of their claims for protection.”

Mr Shorten’s alliance with several powerful unions, including the CFMMEU, Transport Workers Union, Health Services Union, Australian Workers Union and the Shoppies Union was a political strength that helped secure him the leadership.

But there are now growing concerns from Labor MPs, particularly from the Right faction, that Mr Shorten is under pressure to adopt left-wing social and economic policies to appease the unions that backed him into the leadership — and that will see him at odds with the Australian electorate.

Can't argue with that.

As I have been saying all along BackFlop Billy's top priorities are

RESTART the BOATS and

STEAL MONEY from the PENSIONERS and

INCREASE ELECTRICITY PRICES by 400% with his 50% renewable rubbish.

So who in their right mind would vote for the mongrel coalition of the union controlled Labor Party and the extremist Greenies ?

Should set the Lefties off.

Yes, and we've been ignoring you all along.

Why did you say Labor is asking for "higher penalty rates", by the way?

Be in not the slightest doubt this is what you would get under the union controlled Labor Party + Greenies

History would repeat itself


And THIS time the Black African Terrorists would ALSO enter Australia from the SOUTH as they transit via Commo Socialist controlled New Zealand helped by the Talking Horse.

Well Grendel tell the gecko troll to STOP ILLEGALLY MISQUOTING ANOTHER POSTER It is so simple.

His/her "posts" clearly incorrectly state a poster posted something that has been defiled and befouled - amounts to blog defamation!!!!


Even the CFMMEU is getting cold feet on letting illegals invade Australia as they know it is a MASSIVE election loser.



Behind the CFMMEU’s rightward drift on refugees
Zane Alcorn Melbourne June 14, 2018 Issue 1184 Australia

...
A refugee rights protest outside the NSW ALP conference in Sydney in 2013.

At the recent Australian Labor Party Victorian state conference the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union (CFMMEU) delegation voted with the Australian Workers’ Union (AWU), Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees' Association (SDA) and Labor’s Right faction to finish conference early.

This meant that several progressive motions, including on the right to strike, changing the date of Australia day, gender equality in superannuation and — notably — a motion calling for a Bill Shorten government to close the Manus Island and Nauru refugee detention centres within 90 days of being elected were not heard.

Why would Labor do something that the Australian public doesn't want? Aren't politicians supposed to follow the will of the people? That's dictatorship. And Labor wonders why they are on the nose and losing long term Labor voters.
