WorkChoices. Never Again in Sturt

Today’s Liberal leader Tony Abbott was a key Minister in the former Liberal Government that introduced WorkChoices. Now, he wants to bring it back. He just won’t call it WorkChoices.

We need to go forward on workers' rights, not backwards to the Liberals' new version of WorkChoices.
