Spotlight: Sixty years ago today, the House Un-American Activities Committee opened its investigation into alleged Communist influence in the motion picture industry. The first witness to take the stand was Jack Warner. As a result of hearings that took place over the next month, 10 screenwriters and directors were cited for contempt of Congress and served a year in jail. Blacklisted until the 60s, some wrote under pseudonyms; Michael Wilson and Dalton Trumbo were unable to collect Oscars they won under assumed names.
Quote: "No member of our generation who wasn't a Communist or a dropout in the thirties is worth a damn."
Spotlight: This week, the Crosby Texter Liberal Bash a Unionist Committee for Truth about the Militant Communist Influence of Militant Trade Unionists who want to Take Over Australia, opened its public debate into Militant Trade Union influence in the Australian Labor Party. The first witness to take the stand was Minister for Fat and Happy Employers, Joe Fat and Happy Hockey, with the terrifying warning that Militant Trade Unionists want to nationalise your house, bankrupt your employer and generally make your life miserable.As a result of the Australian Government's advertising that took place over the last year, it has been established that Militant Communist, Feminist, Homosexual, Pro Iranian, Muslim, Worker Loving , Militant Trade Unionists are in control of the Australian Labor Party and ready to take over the Government and send all Freedom Loving Australians to reeducation camps and that Workchoices can save the world from Union Domination. As a result of the first week of the election campaign, seventy percent of the Australian Labor Party Politburo were tarred with the same brush as Militant Trade Unionists destined to destroy the Australian Way of Life.
As a result of this mean and spiteful campaign the militant trade unionists have been banished to their constituencies to sell Kevin 07 T Shirts, never to be heard from again until the election is won and a victory declared by Kevin "I am Not and Never Have Been a Militant Trade Unionist" Rudd.
Quote: " The role of unions in Australia is essentially over."

You are right to remind us of this shameful episode in American history. So sorry to hear of what is happening in Oz.
One of the things that I learned that the highest participation of union membership in Australia is in the Commonwealth Government. Perhaps that is telling us something. Australia has changed a lot from the days of unions controlling things.
