What a load of warped logic by Mr Hastie:

(a) he purports to support Aussie Workers when the Libs have done everything their power to smash the Trade Unions

(b) he refers to Coal & Gas as "our Sovereign Industries" when there is over 86% of our coal & gas industries
foreign owned (The Libs oppose Sovereign Industries...ie: State Owned Enterprises) and Alcoa which he refers to
is majority foreign owned...not a sovereign industry either.

(c) The Libs under Mr Howard oversaw the biggest overseas outsourcing of Aussie jobs in history
with call centres in India, Phillipines, South Africa and any angliphone 3rd world that you can mention

(d) The Libs have overseen the outsourcing of the pricing mechanism for our petrol, diesel
to Singapore thereby rendering our ACCC powerless to do anything about Big Oil gouging
the average Aussie worker at the bowser. And dont mention the offshoring of corporate
profits to avoid Aussie Corporate Tax while Mr Hastie's party was in power since 2013.
The ATO (albeit 8 years too late) nailed BHP (90% Foreign owned) & RIO (86% Foreign owned)
for over a $Billion in Transfer Pricing via Singapore alone!

If Mr Hastie purports to represent the better interests of the Aussie Worker & not the interests
of foreign owned corporations, then he is in the wrong political party. He should do the decent
thing and join Labor....the workers party.

While Mr Hastie was assistant Minister over a year ago he sat on his hands in Parliament
while ScoMo & Josh opposed a decent wage increase for 2.5 million Aussie workers on $20/hour!
And Mr Hastie purports to represent the interests of Aussie Workers.......what a load of bollocks!

If the trade union movement genuinely represented the best interests of workers, then how come union membership has been decimated these last few decades?
