Tony Abbott and the Coalitions Industrial Relations Policy


Nearly all the Liberal National Party opposition front bench where Howard Government Ministers, basicily what you have now is the Howard Cabinet minus Howard, nothing else has changed. At the time they willingly agreed to the full implementation of Workchoices, regardless of the hardship it brought on the Australian people, at the time they new exactly what they where doing.

It's in their DNA, that if they get a chance they will bring back Workchoices in a different form regardless of their denials, remember the Liberals core and non – core promises?

A person just has to read their so called blueprint “Our Plan” which is very short on detail and full of generalisation, the contents can be interpreted in many ways i.e. “Inflexible work practices are holding our industries back” and “unnecessary barriers on productivity and flexibility” and “the need to make Australia more competitive and productive; about growing union militancy in workplaces” and "we need to address Australia’s growing workplace militancy, flexibility and productivity challenges" using these phrases alone the Liberal National Party have given themselves a blank cheque to do anything they want to Industrial Relations.

Regardless what they say a future Liberal National Party Government could change working conditions, alter wage rates, hours of working, making it harder to collective bargain. All they had to say is that it was either a core promise or non – core promise.
