Is It Just Me, Or Does Krudd...

Will we still be able get our porn on the net

Ha ha if you call looking at women in bathing suits porn... then maybe, but that's about it!

Nar depends how they end up structuring the plan... I would still have some hope that it will be canned in the end, if there is a big enough fight from public then there is no way it will stay...

But just yet another sign of freedom taken away!

Something which has been hidden from Krudd campaigning - You do know he is in favour of a republic right?

Considering everything he has done to date shows he would like to see Australia become "Krudtalia" I think...

(Not trying to spark a debate about the republic of fact we are only loosely tied to the Monarchy now anyways..)

Maybe before to long our native tongue will actually become Mandarin...

Hehe, I'm not basing their need to be glassed solely on whether or not they're decent looking.

Having said that though, you always hear the phrase "best of a bad bunch" thrown around in relation to politics.

And that's all this Ellis chick is.

Being named "Sexiest Politician in Australia" is like winning gold at the special olympics.

Who got 2nd place?? Gillard, Bligh, BISHOP??

Bring back Kernot imo, more cushion for the pushin'

P.S. Fair call on the Italian bird...

Be right back, booking a ticket to Rome!

sorry bjc, it took about 90 mins to see your reply come up...

there must be a filter somewhere between either u and the forum host, or maybe me and the forum host... oh hold on... ITS PROB AT BOTH FARKING SIDES!!!

maybe Krudd will get the poo's with the net when he cant see his own head shots dl'ed in under 5 hrs!

Think ill be watching more if I cant enjoy my internet experience in future - oh hold on that will be censored also... maybe ill get - oh wait that's exactly what I DONT WANT!

Hey KRUDD ......

Crap net will cause heaver drinking loads... but isnt that yet another thing he was taxing and trying to prevent???

So cant drink, and cant enjoy the net!!!

hhhmmm I hate to say it... but there is no way in hell im going to be speaking Chinese for that *beep*!

Almost feel like an 8yo being told no more TV, no more internet for tonight, and sorry but you know your not aloud to drink until your 16, and oh look at the time, off to bed you go!

Will Krudd come and tuck me into bed at night when I move in next door to Kirribilli in a few weeks?

Helping Local Families in Need

CFMEU members at two Geelong construction sites have raised money to help local needy families.

Members at the Westfield Bay City Shopping Centre collected donations for a terminally ill Geelong girl Mikayla Fisher, so she could go to Sea World on the Gold Coast.

Workers on the Deakin University site raised money for single mum, Jodie Meade, who is terminally ill. Jodie's mother received the donation as her daughter was too ill. She was overcome with emotion saying: "I don't know any of you but what I can say is that this money will come in handy. It will be put into a trust fund for Jodie's daughters".

The workers were moved to help after hearing about the family's circumstances from one of the workers on the shopping centre site.

Making Cancer Kids' Dreams Come True

When Warkworth Mine amalgamated with Mount Thorley in 2006, the miners there decided to donate $20,000 to help needy kids.

Warkworth Lodge President Russell Trappel said: "The miners donated teh money to the children's cancer support group CanTeen". The money went towards a special camp for the kids in April 2007.

CanTeen's Northern NSW Division Manager Clayton Barr said: "We took 60 people away our biggest camp ever and stayed at a recreation centre at Coffs Harbour. All of our activities revolved around the young people challenging themselves to imagine anything was possible.

Rescue Helicopter Service

Since 1991, the CFMEU Mining & Energy Division has sponsored the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service, operation in the Hunter, Mid North Coast, New England and North West regions.

Every member of the Northern Districts Branch makes direct wage contributions to raise a total of around $700,000 for the service each year.

In 2006, the affiliated Mineworkers Trust made an additional donation of $250,000 and the Miners' Northern Districts Office topped up their member donations with $100,000, giving the service more than one million dollars. Additionally, the 2007 Miners National Golf Chanpionships raised $9,370 for the helicopter service.

how much could it have been ? Lets have a closer look at the other side of the ledger, if that were possible!

Charlatons and snake oil salesmen. Take off the rose coloured glasses of your heroes and stop being so myopic.

How much per head? how does that compare to privately funded contributions for other causes ? mmmm

Great causes, and great efforts nonetheless, but in what context ?

I worked for a company that contributed over $3m pa to charity and public assistance. Their turnover was substantionally less than

the turnover of the companies that are members in the unions and associations mentioned.

Granted some that some are associations, does not that make them bigger tight ares given the membership base.

Union stooging at its best

[XRSCAR]

giving to charity is 100% taxable right?

Yeah and even the worst of the worst biker gangs take time out from their heroin

trafficking over xmas to buy a few toys kids. That doesn't make it "all better"

how about addressing some of the issues raised?

Do you think union membership should be compulsory?

So instead of using some of the billions of dollars the Unions pocket for themselves and the Labor party, they once again get the "struggling workers" to dig deep for the donations?

Who says any of this was initiated by the Union and not a group of member workers who approached the Union to help arrange agroup effort (just like any other club or association anywhere in the world).

Also, because the Union has been involved with a few, tax deductable, member funded charity cases, how does this deserve more praose than the efforts of the Lion's Club or Rotary, who dedicate their very existance to raising funds for charity, using volounteer workers?

[TornadoJudd]

you say they do nothing for the workers and union members are f*cked but whenI give an example of unions helping people you slag them off. Just recently our work lodge gave $50G to a women to go get life saving brain surgery in the US so her kids could have a chance at knowing thier mother when they grow up which was not a tax deductable donation to charity. If you dont like unions then good for you your aloud to but unions do alot for local communities and stand next to you when getting shafted by large companies (James Hardy). Just food for thought.

Do you think union membership should be compulsory?

its not compulsory to be in a union at my work
