| Message | Mr Speaker, It is farcical that the so called "pro-worker" parties would be in favour of stripping power from their organisations. |

| Message | Mr Speaker This is hardly about stripping power from the unions but making them more democratic. I also find it disturbing that the PER are taking advice from the anarchists on "worker's rights". |
