It is very clear: Labor stands for corrupt workplace deals between employers and unions; it does not stand for the workers. Let me tell you what Labor stands for, because this is what they argued for. Labor thinks it's alright for a union boss to accept a flight for an international holiday on the private jet of a billionaire employer who employs the union's members. That's okay. Labor thinks it's okay for an employer to secretly donate $30,000 to the political campaign for parliament of a union boss at the same time that that union is meant to be negotiating an agreement with the company. Labor thinks it's alright for a union to receive secret payments from an employer in return for keeping a workplace agreement that removes all penalty rates for the workers.
