The only thing that is a shambles at the moment is the opposition’s industrial relations policy. If there is one thing that has become clear over the last week it is what a complete shambles it is. The opposition cannot work out where it stands, of course, until it gets its orders from Greg Combet and the unions as to its policy on industrial relations. The Deputy Leader of the Opposition is supposedly in charge of the opposition’s industrial relations policy. This is a policy which is all over the shop. The events of the last week have shown just what a shambles the opposition is in terms of policy. Once again we see that the opposition is a policy-free zone. Of course, the Deputy Leader of the Opposition is well known for policy-free zones. We can go back to Medicare Gold and look at all the other disasters that she has been responsible for.
