More than 3 million Australians to benefit from Increased Support
From Prime Minister - The Hon John Howard MP
I am pleased to announce today that a re-elected Coalition Government
will ensure older Australians, people with disabilities and carers
share in the benefits of Australia's strongly growing economy.
<SNIP>

What about people with disabilities caused by unsafe work practices?

The Howard Government, if re-elected, has already flagged how it is
going to gut Occupational Health and Safety legilation Australia
wide..

You like the idea of electing a health and safety rep, under a re-
elected Howard Government health and safety reps will be appointed by
the employer.

You like the fact your health and safety rep can ask for assistance
from outside agencies in resolving any issue, under a re-elected Howrd
Government, that will be not allowed without first showing "just
cause" to your employer.

You like the idea that your union can enter your worksite to
investiigate matter adversly effecting your healt and safety, under a
re-elected Howards Government, that will be "verboten"

You like the idea that health and safety rep can order the ceasing of
unsafe practices, under a re-elected Hpoward Government, that idea
will be gone.

A vote for the Howard Government is a vote for massive numbers of
workplace deaths and injuries, Australia wide.

If you want to see 16 year old apprentices in hospital with arms
ripped off through the use of unguarded machinery, then by all means
vote for Howard.

If you want to see people sick and dying from the use of dangerous
chemicals without proper protective equipment, vote for Howard.

Yep, documents issued at the Worksafe Victoria sponsored Occupational
Health and Safety Reps conference I attended in Melbourne on the 24th
of this month.

As for a "fat arse union wanker" putting his nose in, the Industrial
Officer who covers my industry has worked in that industry for
seventeen years, dickhead.

Ensure your brain is engaged before putting your mouth in motion,
fool.

Offensive foul mouth troll isn't he Greg?

As soon as I posted something he didn't like I immediately became a
wanker and a target for his sexually orientated abuse.

I think you're right Greg, he's a sexually repressed closet queer who
hates the world because of his own inability to accept who and what he
is.

Of course, as soon as he started his abuse, there's no way I was
addressing the questions he was firing in any meaningful way. If
there's one thing I can't stand it's an arrogant foul mouthed bully.

Gonesailing, I wouldn't worry about being queer, hell I'm a
stereotyped redneck and I've got a number of good mates who are as
camp as a row of tents, I'd be more worried about being a Liberal
supporter and really worried about the attitudes you hold to the rest
of the human race. Seek help, you need it.

There is one simple issue here, little union boy arse fucker. I asked
the maggot to provide proof of his myth. He has consistently refused
to do so.

No surprise there, really, since he is fantasising about federal
legislation which has not yet been written.

Now, little butt boy, any part of that that is too hard for your tiny
union approved brain cell?

If so read on.

Deregulation Kills
27 October 2005

Safety law deregulation - such as that which the Howard Government is
proposing - leads to more workplace injury and deaths, according to a
British report.

The Crime and Society Foundation report says in the UK, safety
inspections are low and enforcement is even lower, despite more than a
thousand employees dying at work each year.

It says this approach has been influenced by businesses' push for low
deregulation.

"The weight of available evidence now indicates that the one most
effective means of making workplaces safer is for these to be
unionised and to have union-appointed safety representatives," the
report states.

"This means challenging those ideologues who portray the protection of
workers and the public as matters of nanny-state 'red tape'."

Australian Prime Minister John Howard announced earlier this month the
formation of a business-led taskforce to reduce the "red tape" in
areas such as health and safety.

This was in addition to the Government's proposed industrial relations
reforms, which aim to restrict union right of entry into workplaces
and clamp down on industrial action.

Unions slammed the IR package as "dangerous".

"There are very real concerns that workers will face longer and
irregular hours and unpaid overtime, leading to greater stress and
fatigue," SA Unions secretary Janet Giles said. "This is often a
factor in workplace injuries."

The Crime and Society Foundation's Criminal Obsessions report is
available from http://www.crimeandsociety.org.uk/pdfs/monograph1_17Oct05.pdf

Work Choices OH&S confusion

Australian Financial Review (5,Wed 31 May 2006)Edition: FirstKeywords:
industrial (2),Employment (4),union (13),Workplace(9),Kevin
(2),Andrews (2),John (2),Howard (2)

Federal government claims that its Work Choices laws will not stop
unions arranging occupational health and safety training for their
members have been contradicted by a minister and a senior industrial
relations bureaucrat.Senator Eric Abetz and the Employment Advocate
Peter McIlwain, bothtold a Senate estimates hearing yesterday that
leave to attend any uniontraining was prohibited in workplace
agreements.Mr McIlwain, who has the job of vetting all enterprise
bargainingagreements before they can be registered, told the hearing
that "leave toattend training provided by a trade union, however
described, is prohibitedcontent, as per regulations".Senator Abetz,
representing Workplace Relations Minister KevinAndrews, also said the
prohibition on all union training entitlements inworkplace agreements
was necessary because they had been abused byunions in the past,
although he declined to say whether the ban includedoccupational
health and safety training,The senator said union training "no matter
how it is described, it isprohibited content. Therefore we can call it
'doing the work of angels' or allsorts of wonderful things but at the
end of the day the regulation is veryclear".Their comments appeared to
contradict a statement to parliament by PrimeMinister John Howard on
Monday in which he said "there have beenagreements entered into under
the new law which allow for the safetytraining of people, including
attending courses provided by unions who areaccredited trainers".The
issue is particularly sensitive because of the Beaconsfield
minedisaster.More than 30 Beaconsfield miners used the occasion of a
federal parliamentreception on Monday, attended by Mr Howard, to
declare their opposition toPage 1 of 3Work Choices OH&S

the Work Choices laws, which they said made workplaces less safe.In
the statement the workers said their union was currently
negotiatingunion workplace safety training with their employer, but
under WorkChoices the agreement would not be legally
recognised."Unions and union training improve workplace safety," the
miners said."The federal government's new industrial laws attack the
role of unionsand in so doing will make workplaces less safe."Mr
Andrews has rejected the claims, saying that mine safety is a
stategovernment responsibility, and that Work Choices preserves
stateoccupational health and safety laws.A spokesman for Mr Andrews
said that "not a single Australian worker willmiss out on OH&S
training because of Work Choices".He said the Office of the Employment
Advocate had approved severalworkplace agreements that contained OH&S

More than 3 million Australians to benefit from Increased Support
From Prime Minister - The Hon John Howard MP
I am pleased to announce today that a re-elected Coalition Government
will ensure older Australians, people with disabilities and carers
share in the benefits of Australia's strongly growing economy.
<SNIP>
What about people with disabilities caused by unsafe work practices?
The Howard Government, if re-elected, has already flagged how it is
going to gut Occupational Health and Safety legilation Australia
wide..
You like the idea of electing a health and safety rep, under a re-
elected Howard Government health and safety reps will be appointed by
the employer.
You like the fact your health and safety rep can ask for assistance
from outside agencies in resolving any issue, under a re-elected Howrd
Government, that will be not allowed without first showing "just
cause" to your employer.
You like the idea that your union can enter your worksite to
investiigate matter adversly effecting your healt and safety, under a
re-elected Howards Government, that will be "verboten"
You like the idea that health and safety rep can order the ceasing of
unsafe practices, under a re-elected Hpoward Government, that idea
will be gone.
A vote for the Howard Government is a vote for massive numbers of
workplace deaths and injuries, Australia wide.
If you want to see 16 year old apprentices in hospital with arms
ripped off through the use of unguarded machinery, then by all means
vote for Howard.
If you want to see people sick and dying from the use of dangerous
chemicals without proper protective equipment, vote for Howard.
Typical Liberal Party bastardry, If we cant starve 'em into submission
with WorkChances we'll kill 'e off with unsafe worksites.

Bull shit in the extreme this is total fucking lies.

All major projects and EPCM's run a top down from CEO safety culture
that has nothing to do with any government as they operate all over
the world including countries with zero value for human life.

Your a shitbag and a liar.

Unions have absolutely fuck all to do with safety. The only union
involvment I know about is defending drug fucked sparkies on site who
are a danger to themselves and others!

Really, you have some evidence that worksites with employer appointed
HSR's are safer than worksites with employee elected HSR's, gee I'd
like to see that, of course if it's just spin from Howard and Co. I
ain't real interested.

Already exits sport, under Victorian Worksafe, a HSR can ask for
assistance or advice from any person, where is that in the Comcare
legislation?

There's a rather large construction company doing a fairly major
construction job at my (government)workplace at the moment, They got
real upset when challeneged their employer appointed "HSR" about
workplace safety, he thought blokes working on a roof, fixing iron
roofing without safety scaffolding or harnesses was OK?

Yep, that's why the largest Occupational Health and Safety Rep's
Conference in the world is run annually by the Victorian Trades Hall
Council.

Chris Maxwell QC, who was appointed by the Victorian Government in
2003 to conduct a report on the 1985 Victorian OHS Act, (and who's
recommendations form the basis of the 2004 Victorian OHS Act) is of a
different opinion to you on the relationaship between industrial
matters and Occupational Health and Safety. We know Maxwells
credentials, yours are somewhat of a mystery. Care to elaborate?

There's about 240 Victorian Worksafe inspectors covering Victoria,

For every CBD Hi-Rise building constructed draped with the Eureka Flag
mind you kill on average 0.7 people. This represents a ratio of about
1 death per 1000000 man hours worked!.

If this shocking ratio happed on any infrastructure project (ALL
PRIVATE with HSE Reps from employers!!!) the project would be shut
down.

Why are union dominated sites allowed to kill workers with little
interference to work schedule?

Fascinating, I ask for cited references and I get unsupported
assertions?

I guess you think I'm too fucken stupid to know the difference

Obviously, you cannot cite any reference to support your assertions or
you would have already done so.
