    Wait. Does he think this is a popular idea? Is there a majority of people out there who want worse working conditions???

    I don’t understand

      It’s not aimed at people like you or me, but at the corporate class and their media backers. The idea being, get them on board, and they’ll run a propaganda campaign for you.

      Not that they need to really, as Murdoch will almost always side with the conservatives.

        Not even them, it’s for all the tradies out there who are worried that they mightn’t be able to call their workers in for a bit of extra cash.

        Not sure if there is a carve out for that situation, but doesn’t mean he won’t exploit the fear

          There could be a carve out, just like our trading laws: make it based on number of employees.

          Running a small business that requires less than 5 or 6 people to operate? You can call someone after hours for help if you’re desperate.

          Running a major corporate with hundreds on the payroll? GGF.

          You get my drift…

      I don’t get it either. Why announce it like he’s proud of it as a policy position when he could just push it through if they manage to win a majority? Who sent him out in front of the cameras to talk about it? The only thing I can think of is that maybe he’s being deliberately set up for a spill because he’s so obviously out of touch and un-electable.
