Rooster writes over on The Pen:
Those “dirty tricks” just keep on coming! Workplace Relations Minister Joe Hockey accuses the CFMEU of encouraging migrants to become citizens in order to exercise their right to vote (potentially against the Howard Government and WorkChoices).
It’s “un-Australian”, according to the Government.
Bollocks.
Bollocks indeed. Permanent Residents don’t even have to think WorkChoices is unfair to the core to adopt Australian citizenship for the sole purpose of voting out the Tories.
I adopted Australian citizenship in 2003, long before WorkChoices but right after HoWARd blindly and slavishly followed King George into Iraq. Did so with the sole intent of voting against HoWARd and King George (given that I retained my US citizenship) at the next available opportunity.
No unions were involved in the making of this non-tory-voting Australian citizen! John HoWARd created this opposing vote all by himself.
