@bruceyg; following the Colonial era, rust-bucket Howard treasurer years up to 1983, many people think Bob Hawke and Paul Keating sold workers out to large overseas corporate interests as they demanded incredible levels of restraint and compromise from workers while letting employers run amok via the pursuit of unprotected globalisation.
The return of John Howard in 1996 nevertheless marked a corruption of the Hawke-Keating economic model and a terrible turning point wherein government and large corporations virtually merged as Australia descended into a fascist state militating against Aussie Battlers.
Today Liberal politicians openly boast that their first and foremost allegiance is to business interests … game over!
