I’m on my way to Adelaide to hear Ark’s verdict.
I’m carrying with me a copy of over 2500 messages of support to give to Ark, so he can have them as he walks in to court to hear his verdict.
Thank you for all your messages.
In Adelaide we’ll be showing our support at a rally in Victoria Square at 8:30am, and lining up a guard of honour as Ark walks into court for his verdict at 9:30am on Wednesday 24 November.
New polling has been released today which shows that construction unions are trusted over the federal government and developers when it comes to looking after the health and safety of workers in the building and construction industry.
It goes to show how out of touch the ABCC is with community sentiment.
The ABCC was set up by the Howard Government as a means of strangling the role of unions on Australian workplaces. Yet most Australians are the best way of protecting the safety of ordinary construction workers.
Ark is just an ordinary bloke who pointed out safety problems on site. For this he has endured 18 months of legal wrangling with a jail term hanging over his head.
Just after 9:30am on Wednesday 24 November Ark will finally learn of his verdict. We’ll be sure to update our 20,000 supporters as soon as we hear.
Thanks for your support,
Dave Noonan and the Rights on Site team
