Unlike the Liberal Party of Australia which seems hell bent on maintaining its scare campaign concerning the inexperience and trade union connections of Labor Party candidates - the opposition has to do nothing else but simply highlight the unfairness of the industrial relations proposals that have been created by the current governments industrial legislation.

For example the ABC has provided the following news item:

"Figures from the Australian Workplace Authority show almost half of all Australian Workplace Agreements (AWAs) lodged with it since May have been rejected for not complying with the Federal Government's fairness test.

The Workplace Authority's report for October shows more than 25,000 agreements submitted do not meet the minimum standards set out in the fairness test."

So the real question is - will people vote for a party that has created industrial relations laws that encourage employers to try and mistreat their employees and take advantage of them or for a party that has announced that it will repeal these laws and bring back some industrial justice and fairness for Australian workers?
