This tweet will be longer than usual as I have a few things to say about the rural branch closure taskforce & some other things. If you didn't catch Life Matters on @RadioNational yesterday you can catch a replay here abc.net.au/radionational/… 1/5
Caller after caller spoke about the tragedy of rural branch closures & the effect it has on their lives & community. I wrote to taskforce Co-Chairs @MichaelSukkarMP , @PerinDavey , & @senbmckenzie weeks ago asking why @FSU_Australia were excluded from the taskforce?
& not one of them has had the courtesy of responding to my letter. The 30,000 members of @FSU_Australia no doubt vote across the spectrum, Im sure they are disappointed at this deliberate exclusion.I cannot imagine shadows like @ALeighMP or @StephenJonesMP being so petty if
the situation was reversed. The present membership of the taskforce is an echo chamber of business. I'm not aware of any peak consumer groups being on the taskforce either? Who speaks for the workers, consumers, & IT poor citizens as a result of these closures?
The Bosses? @ausbanking ? Forget about it! Taskforces come & go but one thing will never change & that is @FSU_Australia standing shoulder to shoulder with our members & local communities who suffer through these closures. #ausunions
