Bronwyn has more balls then Boyd

Boyd is an arse-hole and has more enemies then friends. His time of reckoning has arrived. They do not get more corrupt then Brian Boyd.

Trades all is an anachronism and should be abandoned in favour of a federal employee system. The days of trade demarcation are well and truly part of history. It is time to re-evaluate the need for Trades Halls and replace it with a much more relevant and professional organisation that truly represents workers interests as opposed to bank rolling personal power struggles and political campigns.

You laugh at the left and say they are Taliban. Yet US companies do business with these ppl and you stay silent. More left unions employ more women than any right-wing union except for the oxygen thiefs at the Shoppies of Southbank. And some of them are chicks with dicks.
