Solidarity amongst Australian organised labour is put to the test as the aspirations of a few seeking to gain a drink from Porter's wine cabinet threaten the future of the country's most effective unions. Multiple musings, brain farts, tangents from the shed; a space where consistent with a general 2020 theme, the truth at times can be considered irrelevant! See ya in 2021

As has been said repeat a lie often enough and it will be believed is a real thing right now and it appeals to general amnesia surrounding the fact that we are getting robbed again as public money is spent into existence
