Hi guys,
I was out this evening but heard there was a Campbell Live episode on our issues. Anyone watch it? I can't find a link to tonight's episode.
-
It looks like the rug was pulled out from under the Federation on this one as it wasn't on at all.
-
But keep any eye out next week!
That's news for you - bumped for a breaking story perhaps?
-
hi guys, hope they still run the program,cheers

-
hi guys, Dunne back, backing workers 11:45am Peter Dunne returns to Parliament saying he will vote against National's strike-breaking bill.
i hope he does the same for us,cheers
-
Campbell Live TONIGHT - definitely unless something happens in the next hour to bump the story. Watch and hear about the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Amendment Bill and that masked man Wal Gordon fighting against the tyranny of it all.
Hopefully will be a good story - they certainly did a lot of background checking and hard work on the story. Can't wait to see Maurice getting interviewed!
-
wow Maurice looked pretty red in the face ;D
Well done to Wal and the Federation
-
how long before it is up tv3ondemand?
being a lowly plumber I cant afford sky and dont even have freeview...
-
Maurice not happy about being in the frame....ahahahahahahaha, love it.....literally laughed out loud, a lot....llolal...hahaha
I want one of those frames, brilliant.
Go the Feds, professional and informative backed by facts, with no bullshit.......have you guys thought of doing CPD for the Board to do....lol.
-
Badger - I laughed out loud too - perhaps the Federation could do a fundraiser by selling special "frames" with pictures of Maurice in the middle and the Federation Logo around the outside.
Wal - amazing work mate! You deserve a medal.
-
great stuff Wal,whats the chance of exposing more of the boards fudge ups?
loved the seat, and flip flop didn't have much to say, not even bout gay marridge
-
True..... not a rainbow in sight for Maurice...except the different hues of crimson and purple on his chops.......well worth the wait. He didn't look very gay (in the old meaning of being happy and care free).
Now guys get busy and let Mr Campbell know what's been going on, the more stories and feed back from unconnected people, from different places, all the better, it will give weight to what the guys have said on air, get behind it now, give it some inertia.
Best chance in a decade of corruption, incompetence and cronyism.
Big ups to Wal, Allan and Coleen.....proud to count you among my fellow tradesman, the industry is lucky to have you all.
Pushing the Federation motto of open and fairness with transparency and accountability.
-
I like how he states that our industry should be funding prosecuting the public but fails to mention no other industry has to do this.
Wouldn't it be good to see him in a televised live debate with Wal, typical politician using the old politicians trick of being economical with the truth or where i come from a liar.
Well done Wal.
-
How about the Third Degree, the vote programme....our three against Maurice, Max and Bickers....TV gold.
Open debate, bring it on.....lets have it all out in the open....
-
hi guys, great job Wal not an in-depth interveiw but it has got it out there to the public. It is now on film flip-flop admitting that the law was wrong and that a flaw has been found he`s said that outside of parliament so can be made to stand by it, he did`nt look to happy, maybe he has realised that it is now bigger than the board and himself, cheers
-
Is there a link that we could post on here for those that missed it, I am a bit technology challenged, all spanners and hammers.
-
