The Leader of the Opposition with a capital 'O' might like to understand this: that the bill that is in the parliament at the moment deals with workers' entitlements: funds paid into workers' entitlements funds held by unions, which ensures that, when they are in a position to have their entitlements paid out—that is, their wages, about which it doesn't matter whether you're working in a restaurant or anywhere else—the dividends from those funds aren't paid off to other unions, which is the practise of those unions.

Now, the Labor Party might not want to recognise that what they are doing in supporting that practice is thieving workers' wages.
