Rights on Site - Ark Tribe Prosecuted

[fuknsoregut]

HAVE A TUB ARK YOU DIRTY CUNT

[jvbiddington]

Why is the ABCC still in existence???? Get rid of it and use the money for some socially good purpose!

[khghountch]

If, in a country, there are two sets of laws for the same population then that country is practising apartheid. I say down with apartheid and down with the laws that is the reason for apartheid. Ark, mate, you are a hero!

[luneco100]

frogmouth lazarus and the mad monk created these anti worker laws that still exist to the day if labor had done what they promised to do ark would never be facing jail for a safety meeting that was common grounds in the past the abcc gillards rats should be abolished now and never again construction workers should put up with laws that treat workers like criminals good luck ark on the 3rd of november and remember we will fight to the end one law for all

[stephenfs03]

The CFMEU needs to be pushed by its members, and others in favour of humankind, in organising to get rid of the ABCC once and for all. The fear is that if the ABCC can continue getting away with these draconian measures in the construction industries then they'll try and spread it to other industries. They'll take us all back to say 1600's Britain.

[drcooljk]

Yeah his also on the verge of making australias history in another way, the economy DON'T JAIL ARK YOU ABBC BASTAREDS

[trailblazermudboy]

Ark your doing the right thing for all of us. These laws are a bloody disgrace and MUST GO.

[aussiebloke351]

thats some heavy shit



[BarkingSpider100]

Please don't try and paint Ark Tribe in the same light as the sappers. Sappers do what they are told by their commanding officers. Safety is regulated by a state body. Bosses put safety systems in lace - do workers follow it? Remember the crane accident in glenelg? Two crane dmistake - not management - who was watching the loads and the cranes? What were the dobmen doing? Buying paper clips for Julia? If Ark has done nothing wrong - what has he to hide? Ark broke the law and the law won.

@BarkingSpider100

You are a clown, if you think a Murderer, Rapist or Pedophile should be able to have more rights than a worker you are no better than them. Tell me why a Murderer, Rapist or Pedophile should have the right to make no comment and have the right to a lawyer and a construction worker shouldn't? Explain that to me???

[Rextervic]

@BarkingSpider100

To Barking Spider. I am a lawyer and know a fair bit about history - it seems you don't. The ABCC is a star chamber where there is a little in the way of due process. Star chambers went out with the English Civil War in the 1640s. The law re the ABCC is wrong and breaches centuries old legal rights. Further, Ark Tribe is being persecuted for adhering to the OH&S laws. Or would a law banning conservative ignorant gits like be ok because it is law? I doubt it.

From the Fourteen Defining Characteristics Of Fascism By Dr. Lawrence Britt

"Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. Labor Power is Suppressed - Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed."

[phenoloperry]

We are with you all the way, Ark. Your only crime was protecting yourself and your workmates. We will stand strong while Gillard sits silent.

[nrgben]

The Commonwealth of Australia Constitytion act ,1900, Chapter VIII, Clause 5. subsection 33:

"not all laws made by parliament are binding on the COURTS, judges and people but ONLY laws made in accordance with constitution are binding",

this is supported / made relavent by:

section 99>

THE COMMONWEALTH SHALL NOT, BY ANY LAW OR REGULATION OF TRADE, COMMERCE, OR REVENUE, GIVE PREFERANCE TO ONE STATE OR ANY PART THEREOF OVER ANOTHER STATE OR ANY PART THERE OF.

[nrgben]

so in essence Ark the above is a contract that the State government and all of its "agents" have agreed to uphold; however... .. put in the same position i would put forward a NOTICE OF A CONSTITUTIONAL MATTER. your lawyer should have already done this

[PIMPINOZ]

Go Ark, kick some ass!

Long live the B.L.F!!!

[richo56]

The ABCC have NO powers about site safety something conveniently passed over by the cfmeu. That's a state matter. Wanna ask how often th eunion abuses safety for an ir matter & when dome the saftey matter disappears???? What about west gate & threats to building workers by union supporters for working & doing their job. This story should start with "once upon a time". By thw ay the ATO, ACCC & ASIC have gretaer if not more coercive powers. What a joke!!!

[dankru]

So what if bodies which have nothing to do with the industrial relations have coercive powers. We just want all workers treated the SAME. The ABCC has never prosecuted an employer, under the powers it has, for anything relating to non-payment of wages or other powers it DOES have. Only for strike pay.

[Gabb0123]

Do you mean the workers yelling at the scabs who went to work at west gate?

Who're the jerks - the workers together on the picketline, or the ones who cross into their own exploitation?

[blogotube]

We stand with you Ark ,safety is not negotiable,has Julia ever worked on a construction site? As SapperK9 says she is busy with paper clips.

[dankru]

Bloody disgrace

[bobbrit1]

This is an outrage. Be at the Elizabeth Magistrates Court at 15 Frobisher Rd on June 9 at 9:30am to support Ark and stand up for equal rights for building workers.

[scart69net]

Rudd & the rest of the ALP need to either start actually standing up for workers & their rights and abolish the ABCC completely or stop pretending to be a "Labor" Party.

[SapperK9]

Thanks Julia! B1TCH! How many suits in Canberra have had a mate killed or injured on the job sit? Oh dear, I've pricked my pinkie with a paper clip...
