Only blind Freddy ...

... wouldn't have noticed there’s been a bit of campaigning for the federal election lately, culminating with a poll this Saturday. (Goodie, I get to fill in a form and partake of the wares of a traditional, fund-raising sausage sizzle.) And I can’t help but notice the anti-union scare campaign the coalition is running.
Now, I’m a person who has been very active in the union movement. I’m the daughter, grand daughter, great grand daughter, and probably beyond that, of union members. As are many, many Australians. Unions may not be perfect but without them we wouldn’t have sensible working hours, sick leave, maternity leave, holidays, a decent minimum wage (until recently anyway).
Anyway, my point is I’m actually pretty offended that, given the above, I, my family and thousands, probably millions, of Australians are being portrayed as thug-like ogres out to destroy our OWN way of life in the coalition’s campaign.
And the wording, “they will stuff the economy”. Honestly, don’t we deserve something a little better than that? It shows contempt for the voter. That is the only sort of language they believe we can understand. And they have the nerve to call those a little-to-the-left elitist!
