National Press Club address

Julia Gillard and the unions

By Mark Bahnisch on September 18, 2008

Earlier in the year, writing in On Line Opinion, I thought that Labor’s “Forward With Fairness” industrial relations policy was best interpreted as an attempt to entrench a new workplace settlement acceptable to all parties – and I still think [...]

Kevin Rudd's narrative

By Kim on August 27, 2008

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd will apparently be outlining a “narrative” for the government at the National Press Club today.
