Do not get to carried away with telling us Hawke stood up to the unions. He was the intellectual force that really got the movement rolling in the 60s/70's. The BLF like the CFMEU went toooo far and Hawke was smart enough to see that they had to be curtailed at any cost. The wharfies are next then the ETU and then TWU. They are all just the same parasites and economic disruptors. But it won't happen mass walkouts likely when the thousands of tradies come back from their family round Australia trips they are taking on half pay with full entitlements. What a scam this country has become! Super Sally is way out of her depth...ALWAYS has been.
