  2. We stood together with the MUA in 1998. I was personally on the Benwell Rd picket at the Townsville port from day 1 for the whole 7 weeks, midnight to 8AM shift. Being retired at the time, I & other residents knew how vital it was to fight to protect our local shipping industry. We knew then and know now, it is absolutely crucial to stop these bloody multinationals from bringing third-world conditions & pay to Australia in the interests of maximising their multinational profit, companies which in the scheme of things pay bugger all tax in Australia.
    Why should Australian workers and Australian residents allow these bludging, tax-dodging, thieving companies rob us of our own birthright?
    If you are a fairdinkum Aussie, have the guts to take a stand!!! I am 80 years old and will be there, others older than me will be there, WILL YOU?
    Have the guts & the gumption to be counted with the MUA in their fight against these tax-bludging bastard companies. You are never too old to stand up and fight bastardry, to stand up and say ….
    MUA —- HERE TO STAY !!

  3. Good luck to them.
