In the week which saw the now almost infamous new IR laws become law, Mike Carlton in his weekly SMH column writes:
"ANOTHER nice man is Kevin Andrews, the federal Minister for Workplace Relations. With his immaculately barbered hair, glowing pink cheeks and crisp white shirts, he radiates Sunday school goodness from every pore.
Unless, of course, you are about to lose your job under the 2557 pages of simplified workplace "reforms" of which he is so inordinately proud. His niceness might not then be so readily apparent.
Andrews admitted on Monday on ABC TV's Lateline that you can get the sack simply because your boss doesn't like you. Funny, but they didn't mention that in the $50 million advertising campaign."
The point is well made. The IR laws are a story which has a fair way to travel....
Meanwhile, read the rest of Carlton's column here - in relation to how the pathetic Oz press dealt with visiting British PM Tony Blair. The Australian, for one, must surely qualify for the #1 Fawning Award.
