The privatisation of electricity has been such a success in Victoria why wouldn’t you privatise VicRoads services?
It would be a disaster for Victorian motorists and would lead to less secure work and lower pay and conditions for Victorians working at VicRoads.

They destroyed Newcastle's transport network by privatizing the buses and ferries also ripped up our seamless heavy railway into the heart of our city to gift the corridor land to their developer mates, it's now a ghost town all lies and bullshit!
Privatisation consistently lowers quality of service while also raising the prices of these services and lowering working conditions and pay for those I'm the industry. I'm tired of politicians spouting on about the 'efficiency' of privatised services. Surely all of us see through these neoliberal lies by now.
Maybe new members for the Asu
Bound to be some Chinese company interested
Shameful!!
The ASUVicTas Branch congratulates Lloyd Williams on becoming HSU national secretary. Lloyd served as the fearless state secretary of Health and Community Services Union (HACSU) for many years and served his members for over 30 years in the state branch.
We would also like to congratulate Paul Healey on becoming state secretary and Kate Marshall for becoming assistant state secretary. The ASU looks forward to continuing to work with you and your team to further the cause of workers across Victoria.

We asked ASUVicTas members what they think about big pay rises for MPs while workers rises are being held down by the state wages policy. We'll be sharing a few over the next couple of days and here's the first.
"I am astonished. I don't know what they are thinking. Can they honestly believe that they work so hard as to justify 11%? And if that is so, are they thinking about bringing up all the other hard workers to a similar rate? Or is it just greed? And being out of touch. What is the thinking of the people who are on the committee that sets the wage rise? The Labor government is going to lose some voters to the independents over this one." (an ASU member at a Catchment Management Authority)
It's not too late to share your thoughts with us here www.asuvictas.com.au/tell-us-what-you-think-about-wages-policy/
We should all stop wasting our time, with MP's not like they care about our opinion
