Labor must condemn Union action immediately

Rebecca White and the Labor Party must immediately condemn outrageous Union industrial action preventing Police from accessing DNA analysis needed to catch criminals.

Labor has so far refused to condemn union action which has cancelled elective surgeries, and which has directed teachers not to complete important school reports.

If you can’t condemn action deliberately designed to stop crimes being solved, you’re not fit to be a Member of Parliament.

Let’s remember that all of the Union bosses directing these outrageous actions are members of the Labor Party. They attend Labor Party conferences, vote on Labor Party motions and policies. It’s long past time Rebecca White shows some leadership and either pulls them into line, or disassociates herself from all of these disruptive and dangerous actions.
