More on Combet...the ALP choice...
(From Wikipedia)

Over his time at the ACTU, Combet has co-ordinated many union campaigns, including the 'Cavalcade to Canberra' of 19 August 1996. The protest gained notoriety due to 2,000 breakaway protesters rioting in and around Parliament House.
He rose to further prominence during the 1998 Australian waterfront dispute and supported militant union protests during the campaign, saying "the laws were made against workers, and bad laws have to be broken."
Christine Milne anyone? Labor and the Greens seem to have their own laws, the ones that suit them!!!

On 25 March 2007, The Sunday Age reported that senior Australian Labor Party figures had announced that Combet would run for election representing the ALP in the safe seat of Charlton in New South Wales.
However, later that day Combet told The Age newspaper that he was not planning an entry into federal politics at the 2007 election, preferring instead to continue leading the ACTU's campaign against the industrial relations law changes.
On 4 May 2007, Combet confirmed his intention to run for Charlton.
The SITTING member for Charlton, Kelly Hoare, expressed anger at losing preselection for her seat,and for a time considered running as an independent.
Hmmm and now Crossin gets the same treatment??

Amazing how birds of a feather flock together isn't it. Combet was telling fibs before entering parliament and continues to do so.
He had done enough damage to ordinary people and workers to be elevated to a "safe" saet in the Labor Party to continue his total devotion to disruption and disunity.

Just another early example of Labor tossing out a good sitting member to stack the Parliament.
