Split in the ranks over double dissolution prospects

Article Abstract:

Labor party leaders in Canberra, Australia, are divided on how to divert an election on Wik legislation. It is also said that Labor does not want a vote on any union-related issues such as unfair dismissal laws or waterfront issues. The return of Independent Senator Mal Colston and the threat that his vote could help pass the legislation was laid to rest, as the Coalition will not accept Colston's vote pending criminal charges against him.
