On the AWU raid

Karen writes: Re. “History shows the AWU raid could backfire for the Coalition” (Wednesday)

Typical government bullying and harrassment. What’s wrong with GetUp anyway? Let alone a donation? And what of Shorten’s role? Does it matter? Chuckles has pushed and banged on about this at the same time as her her team government is trying to rip our taxes off us to provide tax gifts to the rich? That money goes straight into a company manager’s bank account as a bonus. Not jobs. Forget class envy. This is an outrage.

On class and Harvey Weinstein

Mate. I’m so old I remember Thatcher; I gave up on “gender solidarity against oppression” 40 odd years ago. BUT there is advantage in having more female bosses because, you know, they tend not to rape you. In the absence of a more successful class victory, that helps at the moment.
