The working class has been reduced to this. Email from Michele O’Neil, ACTU President:
Two years ago Federal Police raided union offices in full view of the national media, who had been tipped off about the raids.
On Friday, the Federal Court ruled that the Registered Organisations Commission did not have reasonable grounds to organise the AFP raid of the AWU offices.
These raids should never have happened. The raids were not justified and were used as a political weapon against unions.
If the Ensuring Integrity Bill becomes law, the same Registered Organisations Commission who organised these discredited raids, will be given the power over a union’s very existence.
If it becomes law it will allow unprecedented harassment of unions and the people workers elect to lead them. It will give employers more power at a time when wage theft is rampant, pay rises are nowhere to be seen and too many people are forced into insecure work.
The so-called Ensuring Integrity Bill must be opposed.
The people who can stop this Bill are crossbench Senators.
We need you to contact Senators from the Jacqui Lambie Network, Centre Alliance and One Nation via Facebook.
Polite messages only please. Our message is stronger if we all keep our contact with Senators polite and respectful.
Remember, these laws do not apply to banks or business. These laws single out unions and make it harder for workers to stand up to employers who do the wrong thing. This is about silencing working people and making it harder for workers to win pay rises.
That’s what Senators need to hear. Can you contact them?
In unity,
Michele O’Neil
ACTU President

Those are the fruits of Scott Morrison’s efforts.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. (Matthew 7:15-20, KJV)
