The leader of the oposition and all that

I can't help myself. I did say I was a bit opinionated didn't I?
Well I am. How many have followed the drama surrounding his wife and her company that she has built up from scratch? Now that company has been found to be diddling it's workers by getting them to agree to some questionable work practices and pay rates. Now note, if you will, the current opposition political party in the land down under is Labour, or Labor if your an American. Labour is the working man's party, right? And the lady in question is the leader of the working man's party, right?. But now she has decided to sell the Australian section of the company she started, out of concern for her Australian employees? Now I might be a bit thick, but, did I miss something here? Wouldn't it have made more sense to have kept ownership of that bit of the company and went into bat for her employees? Oh, and guess what folks? This is federal election year in the land down under.
I had a bit of a chat with some of my fellow employees about this one. They find it all OK. Maybe they are blind. It always strikes me a bit strange. If Labour does it, it is OK coz labour did it. Oh, paaaallllleeezzzz. Of, course come election time this will all be forgotten very conveniently.
You disagree with me? There is something wrong with my thinking? Then please feel free to comment.
