Campaign Day 23

Still chuckling over Joe Hockey's promise to resign his ministry if a re-elected Howard Government substantially changed WorkChoices.
All this means is that the long mooted extension of this industrial relations legislation would be portrayed by Hockey and others as 'minor adjustments', 'removing inconsistencies', 'consolidating the intent', 'administrative matters', or even 'modernising the language'.
To trust the Coalition on this would be as wise as trusting the rabid wolf to act like a family pet.
A re-elected Howard Government (not having to face voters for another three years) would go for the jugular.
