This is seriously unbelievable. First, The Australian Howard Government sets up The Department of Employment and Workplace Relations which is specifically designed to monitor possible breaches of the Workplace Relations Act. Then, this very government department tramples over its own guidelines by issuing notices [illegal, as it turns out] to its employees denying them leave to attend a union organised rally. This is such a statement on the state of the current Australian Government, not to mention the mainstream Aussie media. Why isn't this the leading story across all networks??
