To be honest I didn't read much of this thread. My post was a poor attempt at a little humor

Re: Boring bickering.
Unions have about the same issues with criminal elements as society does with corporate criminals and corrupt elected officials. I know of some serious allegations against the Victorian government that should come out eventually. The Scotch college street widening fiasco where they were paid 5 million for a one million parcel of land and they had a government official on their board smells pretty bad too (already out). Gave away lots of public land on his way out the door too old Napthine. If that was a union man he would be a vile dog. The Victorian Liberals had Carlton mafia pay for their fund raising night but they don't want anything back do they?

You've confirmed that polemicism is more important to you than ethics. "Anything Murdoch does is ok......." Oh dear. You don't think it's a little unethical to have the commerical interests on one individual dictating government policy? You haven't really responded to my comments, just said more of what you said before.
you probably see nothing wrong with criminal unions like the cfmeu directing government policy.....
ps...i hadn't seen your earlier post...quoted by me in this one..when i posted my above post...

I'll give you a name to reflect on, while you're championing Ol' Rupe's fearless pursuit of all things union corruption:
Kathy Freakin Jackson, the fearless whistleblower promoted by the gubmint and Rupe's outfit as THE person for the times.
Ms Jackson lives in a $4M house in Balwyn, with the boyfriend, who happens to be a member of the Fair Work Commission and a member of one of the most conservative families in the country. And, Whacko Jacko pays, as she did her ex-, to the tune of $50K after the divorce. No family money, just a $4M property (and then some) off working for a union representing one of the poorest paid group of working people in the country.
Yet, Rupe and his cronies thought her so laudable they took her along to the HR Nicholls Society for a spot of entertainment. Gubmint ministers arranged meetings with journos from The Australian, who tumbled in lock, stock and 2 smokers.
And then, to top it off, it looks very much like the gubmint did a deal with Whacko so she wouldn't be asked any tough questions at the TURC. When 1 from the counsel assisting did let slip out a toughie, Whacko had a 'break down', and won't be available for further questioning until mid Jan at the earliest. Even her brief's made subsequent submissions alluding to the pre-arranged deal, and crying foul.
So, spare me the '70's political rhetoric - politics ain't politics no more - it's just vested interests gouging what they can for themselves, be they the CMFEU, or Whacko Jacko and her mates at News Corp.
There was 1 good bit of news last week. The Saudi who's been propping up Rupert's control of News for ages (the 2nd biggest shareholder) last week refused to cast his votes in favour of Rupert's continuing occupation. It seems someone might have convinced him the voting share structure at News was a farce, and now Rupert's under pressure (which is great, 'cos he might just start tweeting again, and that's always a feast).
