As if executives of Boral would meet their nemesis and not record the conversation or have someone in the room with them as witness. Boral might find themselves having to answer the notion they were the ones who tried to stitch up the union by encouraging a conversation that alluded to blackmail.
Someone was leaned on.....

This just shows what a duplicitous government we have.

Ag response to Grafton.

I call another bs article from the Guardian. Which just alludes that something corrupt may have happened.
How about some sources. The UN is a waste of space as well.
To save me typing:
Converting hundreds of kilometres of wide open water channels to water pipes does not save water? Each square meter of open water channel loses ~2metres of water each year to evaporation, plus soil seepage. No evaporation or seepage with water pipes. Can't imagine why they didn't include that detail in the story. Maybe the absurdity of suggesting that converting open water channels to water pipes produces negative outcomes.

The Ag Department is controlled by the government.
Would you expect anything else but a whitewash ?
A body with no skin in the game is likely to be the most unbiased.
UN back flipped pretty easy so whats the story.

If the Gov threatened to cut payments to the UN if they didn't then that's intimidation, if they promised to give more money then that's bribery.
Or they backed it up with results. Or they all had a UN orgy. Or..... we don't really know.

I hope that shrill gets what's coming to her. There's something very unedifying about elected representatives who think their 50% voter approval gives them the right to display their infantile spit and vitriol to the other 50% they are supposed to also represent once a bum on seat.
She's one of those post Menzies, post born to rule Liberals who have been raised on a diet of hate for the labour class , because they think it's unfair the individual should have to compete with the synergy and undeserved wages of the collective.....which is strange because division of labour and factory systems were a capitalist invention.

Not all bad in context. Net debt to GDP around the same as 1995-96.
Plus we have around $150b in future funds.
But if a recession hits we're buggered

In the context the LNP was elected on the back of messianic economic management and budget repair of big black holes ....... fail

Yeah, but it's all Shorten's fault.
Lab ahead by 8 points now, goddammit! It'll be a parliament of emasculated males and wounded misandrist women..... no wonder the LNP is trying to stack its preselections with male candidates who might provide a belated antidote to the nanny state they helped grow.

The real fail was the theory that budget austerity would save us all.
If I had a choice between more deficits or austere measures such as being fined $7 for being sick and having 3 years of retirement confiscated I'll take the deficits anytime.

I heard that the by election polls were swinging towards the Libs.
