"On or off the field it's strong teamwork, not individualism, that gets results.

"Just as strong team work wins games, it is collective strength that ensures working people win their fair share.

"That's why I'm speaking out against the Howard Government's plan to stiff-arm people's rights at work.

"That's why I'm speaking out against the Howard Government's plan to penalise effective collective bargaining.

"That's why I'm speaking out against the Howard Government's plan to sideline the industrial referee."
