He was not elected and the Australian people voted for rights at work and people like you voted for rights on construction sites.
But demands from big business haven’t been stopped by the ballot box.
Big business, fed by the editorial pages of The Australian have championed a return to work choices with the underhanded desperation of a cause that sits on the precipice of failure.
Today we have seen the continued support by big business for anti worker laws, which punish unions for doing their job, from representing workers to standing up for safety.
Mr Cheney should leave his former role as Head of the Business Council of Australia behind. Times have changed, he no longer has the mandate to talk on behalf of industry.
His thoughts on the role of the ABCC are at odds with Lend Lease and the Institute of Public Affairs who have turned their back on the politically motivated body and are in favour of restoring civil liberties and one law for all workers.
