Unions now in control of Australia

From Andrew Bolt. Julia Gillard was a very strong unionist. The Government of Australia is made up of 75% of unionists while Australia in population terms are only 10% of the population! Representative Government? I think not!

Unions given the government’s ear

Andrew Bolt – Saturday, August 01, 09 (06:35 am)

Warning! Here’s the resolution that Julia Gillard has agreed should be put today to the national Labor conference:

Accordingly, Labor in government will aim to include unions, along with business, community and other appropriate interests in constituted boards, committees and consultative bodies that provide advice to the government.

Unions have never been so weak in numbers. But, thanks to Labor, they haven’t been this strong in years.

UPDATE

Why do the union leaders get to barge ahead in the queue for a hearing?

Number of Australians who are Catholic:

5,001,624

Number of Australians who are trade unionists:

1,786,000
