Devilishly Clever

Appears that the Labor Party and the Unions are up to their old tricks in an effort to fool the general public into voting for them, again.

Just check out the ads, websites and the paraphernalia plonked in your letterboxes.

Where has the Labor logo gone? It is nowhere to be seen on signs, pamphlets and TV ads. They know they are on the nose so much that they are distancing themselves from their own brand. Instead they are attempting instil some community spirit by putting their candidate out there as a “local for us” who has “stood by us”. Don’t be fooled, it’s another act of desperation from a party that will do whatever it takes to hold onto power.

You may have also seen ads on TV for a campaign to make NSW a ‘better state’. The punch line states, “Before I vote, I want some answers”. This is nothing more than an attempt by Unions NSW to pull cotton wool over the eyes of the electorate. On its website you can punch in your postcode and see where your local candidates stand on important issues. Low and behold it shows only the candidates that agree with the Unions NSW ‘5 point plan’ and their method for achieving them. Nothing but local, I mean Labor, and Greens candidates. No mention of where any other candidates stand on important issues. It is a very one-sided display that one has come to expect from unions.

Discernment is required, otherwise it will be more of the same.
