Supporters rally for Ark Tribe's freedom

More than 200 people rallied at Elizabeth Magistrates Court today in support of the latest victim of the Australian Building and Construction Commission (ABCC), South Australian construction worker, Ark Tribe.




Local unions closed ranks around Mr Tribe who faces up to six months jail for allegedly failing to attend a compulsory interrogation by the ABCC in 2008.

Speaking at the rally outside the court today, CFMEU SA Secretary, Martin OMalley said local workers, including nurses, ambulance officers, truck drivers and construction workers had pledged their support for Mr Tribe.




Today, unions, representing nurses, ambulance officers, transport workers and construction workers, stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Ark Tribe in the fight against the ABCC charges, Mr OMalley said.

It's the shame the way the media has de-valued the term 'hero.' For example, Darren Lockyer or James Hird are not heroes, but Ark Tribe, you are a hero. Putting yourself in the firing line for the benefit of others. Well done.

Here we have an Australian being charged by Howards (Now Rudds) IR laws for refusing to speak to the ABCC. What a shame politicians can't be charged for answering the questions put to them. If this was the case they would all be locked up. I should change my user name to DismissRudd!
