Mercury i sthe most deadly toxin in existence yet its sold in most
stores as its in those long life lights. Break one and call the fire brigade 
in because
if you breath in mercury you don't live to long after that, its worst than 
nuclear waste.

The WA Electrical Commission is looking into it and they say that the ad is 
misleading and
it could cause another state election if the ALP win this one. It was on 
Perth ABC1 this
evening. You claimed I did not even live here so how would I be able to
see the news fool.

Does anyone bother to think in the ALP before doing an ad. Do they not 
understand
the laws governing elections?

I'm a Perth miner who flies in and out of Port Hedland. I work 3 weeks and 
have 10 days off.
Many of my mates are not happy with Carpenter at all and are going to 
approach him about
all this nonsense on uranium ore which is going to effect the iron ore 
industry who we work for.
If they are going to ban uranium everything then we are out of a job because 
its well known
that uranium ore along with other metals are in with iron ore.

I get paid $180,000 a year and Carpenter is risking all that and will end 
the BOOM in WA.
I've sent emails to the WA Union over this and they too are not happy and 
are about to do their
own ads on this along with the mining companies. Carpenter brought this on 
himself for cheap politics
and now its coming back to haunt him.

Good on the ABC for reporting it.

A march on Parliament house is organized for this Friday over this fiasco.
Miners, unions and workers will be there in force. Media outlets will be 
notified.
