Sometimes I wonder how health workers, workplaces and legislators feel when all the good work that put in over the years finally sees positive results, feel when it is so easily undone in the name of money.
The great bipartisan union of gambling and smoking look like having a good win at Bangaroo.
In a triumph of retrospective hypocrisy a union has decided it's ok for their workers to be exposed to a substance that is actually illegal to be released in any building in the country!
According to a newspaper article workers at the proposed Bangaroo Casino are to be exposed to the smoke of gamblers cigarettes (Some change to legislation is going to have to happen to allow the gamblers sorry, "high rollers" to smoke inside a building).
If a piece of equipment or plant emitted the same fumes the union would organsie a walkout and the WHS authorities issue a prohibition notice. A great precedent will be set if this goes ahead and the union will lose any moral authority it may have thought it had.
Congratulations all round. Dylan was right money doesn't talk it swears.
