Israel continues to operate with impunity in what seems to be a brutal and protracted experiment, while much of the world looks on, says RAMZY BAROUD

THIS week, the Australian coalition government led by Prime Minister Scott Morrison said it will no longer pursue its proposed union-busting legislation “as a sign of good faith.”
Instead Morrison says he will encourage Australian unions and business to take part in a four-month negotiation to try to solve a number of industrial relations issues.
He announced that there would be five priority areas for reform. These include changes to the Australian “awards system”; collective bargaining for workplace pay deals; casualisation and fixed-term employment; compliance and enforcement to ensure workers are paid properly and agreements on greenfield sites and new projects.
