One Nation Backs Unions' Stand on Electricity Privatisation

According to the Daily Telegraph of December 20th Michael Costa characterised NSW Unions   actions  against electricity privatisation as '"Running One Nation-like campaigns about foreign ownership "

Well, thank you for the publicity - (is that our Christmas present, Mr Costa?) -  but for once you got something right, because  you recognised that, unlike Labor and the Coalition, One Nation has a general policy against the selling of public utilities and assets. We believe one core  duty of Government is to provide essential services, power being just one,  to all citizens without fear or favour.

In the case of this sale, even the basic  figures don't add up. If the buyer pays $15 billion, then they must recoup that money from our electricity bills, so NSW consumers will end up paying $15  billion on top of what they pay now.

It's about as good a business deal as selling your house and agreeing that you'll pay the new owner  rent to live in it  for the rest of your life, with the owner having the option to increase  the rent at any time, and no option for you to move out.

Apart from that, what about  the hypocrisy of  NSW Labor in considering a deal with  the Chinese Communist regime  that allows no free trade unions, lets  tens of  thousands of workers   die in  industrial accidents every year due to  atrocious working conditions, pays  no workers' compensation,  no pensions and allows  no free elections.

Maybe that's what these wall-to-wall Labor governments have in store for us.

One Nation supports Unions NSW  in their action and will be working closely with them  to undermine the Macquarie St mafia in their latest treachery against the people of NSW.
