SPECIAL Weekend Wrap: Dutton’s Garma dishonesty, parliament wrap , bosses bemoan worker rights, teachers and truck drivers take a stand

Van Badham joins Ben Davison for an extended Weekend Wrap to look
at Dutton's dishonesty about Garma being exposed on Insiders, the
bosses pamphlet (Australia Financial Review) confirming the
Noalition views the referendum as a political opportunity to hurt
Labor and why it is so important people get involved in their
local YES campaign and join your union at
australianunions.org.au/wow as your union takes action for the
referendum.


There's also a look at the policy action from parliament this
week with family and domestic violence leave becoming avaliable
to employees in small businesses, the Noalition opposing
increases to Jobseeker which Labor was able to push through and
the Housing Affordability Future Fund making it's return to the
parliament.  If the Greens team up with the Noalition again
to block it the government will have a trigger for a double
dissolution.  Ben and Van discuss what that could mean.


Innes Willox, CEO of the Australian Industry Group, gave a
national press club speech this week which could just as easily
have been given in 2013.  The usual justifications for
corporate greed were rolled out so Van and Ben explore what's
really happened with productivity, wages and profits.  Hint:
Corporate executives are not an oppressed class.


We take a special look at two big campaigns to improve our
Commonwealth.  The www.foreverychild.au campaign of the
Australia Education Union which is trying to close the funding
gap that currently sees 98% of public schools not get MINIMUM
funding and the Transport reform campaign from the Transport
Workers Union that is trying to make our roads safer and our
supply chains more sustainable.
