Religion + Politics = ??? + Profit!
Seems the SDA is attempting to gain ground on the CFMEU as The Union Most Despised By Me*. A Labor Senator, Linda Kirk, supported therapeutic cloning and RU486 – and so the SDA withdrew support for her, and she’s expected to be punished by losing her spot on the Senate ticket.
The union covers shop assistants, fast food workers, etc – but for some reason campaigns for the ‘Catholic right’ (gays bad, foetus good). Mr Lefty tried to point this out as a flaw in Labor over at Larvatus Prodeo, and, as expected, got shot down for his pesky pro-Greens stance.
Another Labor MP, Tony Stewart, made a nice comment on the Pell’s threats on the therapeutic cloning bill – “Maybe I'll go to hell but if I go to hell I'm going to do so by saving a lot of lives, because that's what this bill is about.” (It’s OK, he’s catholic, so he can say that.)
Bob Brown jumped on board pointing out the illegality of coercing a member of parliament.
Democrat blogger Andrew Bartlett made a post about all this – noting how the mainstream media and blogosphere is covering it well.
But… what’s this? He links with the words ‘on a number of blogs’ to The Daily Flute, a news.com blog, Club Trobbo, and The Voice of Today’s Apathetic Youth! Sarah gets the parliamentarian nod – nice.
* Self-obsessed much? Unions actual concern in regards to my opinion may not exist. Actual tally of unions most despised by me may not be an actual tally.

I thought the SDA sounded familiar- I quoted their national secretary Joe de Bruyn in one of my posts on gay marriage. Of course, he's against it. Not that it's really a union's place to go taking a position like that unless there's a vote among its membership to do so. I have a feeling that King Joe probably says what he likes, while SDA workers have no idea that when they're signing up to have their rights protected at work, Joe de Bruyn is busy trying to screw gay and lesbian Australians out of their rights everywhere.
And thanks for the tip-off about the link! I don't usually read Bartlett's blog... I'm sorry he'll probably be losing his seat at the next election, but I hope at least it will be to a Green candidate and not to Family First or the Libs.
The members have a responsibility to kick the union square in the goolies if they fail to represent them - so ultimately, they are to blame.
The demise of the Dems is sad - the Greens are a bit more reliable, but they've done a lot of good work.
