Australia: heard on ABC free-to-air TV, “The 7:30 Report”, Wednesday 2 November. The Federal Minister for Workplace Relations, Kevin Andrews, in debate with Greg Combet, representing the unions, over Australia’s new industrial laws:
“The unions claim [x,y,z,] but that argument is disingenious.”
Combet seemed to pick it up – he smiled and made some reply but unfortunately it was inaudible.
