Should save the PH trade down here millions a year, yet some so-called PH friendly unions oppose it.

I get a very cold chill when the GMB get into bed with the spivs.

I get a cold chill when I think of all the things that can wrong if they don't make it for just the spouse to be able to drive a licensed vehicle :sad: This bill just affirms my belief that the LC review was only ever intended to make things easier for the larger ph companies to expand and brown envelopes were most certainly passed somewhere along the line. As it turns out the LC have apparently taken too long with their review so this bill will rush the important things that needed to be rushed through whilst this government is still in power :wink:

It is all bollocks, but if it wasn't I wouldn't have said it.

The GMB have got some fine people in, but by f*** have they got some utter tw**s.

Any union that changes its views overnight because the spivs want it so, is welcome to the pot of pi** it finds itself in.

I would elaborate, but I can't be ar**d.

Now is that enough expletives for one night?
