Business Council of Australia CEO Jennifer Westacott has welcomed calls from the prime minister for a crackdown on activists who target businesses. Ms Westacott said people should not face "violence and intimidation” for “trying to get to a conference” at last week’s anti-coal protests. “There is no place in society for the sort of scenes we saw last week,” she said.
Ms Westacott told Sky News host Chris Kenny that Prime Minister Scott Morrison was right to call for a crackdown on such practices by activists. Her comments followed a speech to the Queensland Resources Council on Friday, where Mr Morrison told those in attendance the government "are working to identify serious mechanisms that can successfully outlaw these indulgent and selfish practices that threaten the lives of fellow Australians".
Soooo.... I guess Ethical Super funds will be banned?
Instead cracking down activists why don’t get business pay people properly instead pushing this crap
Let her eat cake. 🍰
Well done Jennifer. These bedwetters have no explanation for how the ice age ended. Maybe a few nomads cooking family BBQs?
So when is Matt canavan facing court for telling people not to deal with westpac or Rita from sky news telling people to avoid Coles?
Remember. Do get anxious about people trying to stop the ClimateCrisis don't worry about the actual problem though....
THE RANK HYPOCRICY! Morrison thinks the Chinese should sit down and talk to protesters in Hong Kong but he thinks protesters here should be criminalised... auspol2019
Good! The majority of Australians welcome it. We will not be intimidated and forcibly stopped from going about our business by a small minority of fascists!
Jennifer Westicot should be cracking down on the bloody crooks running big business for STEALING WORKERS WAGES .
