What's left out of the media discussion, re: #portbotany.
See MUA's statement: "wharfies asked Patrick...to identify any containers carrying medical supplies...so they could be prioritised. Supervisors were unable to identify a single medical container in need of transport"

Also from the @MaritimeUnionAU's statement:
"The only industrial action that has occurred at the Patrick container terminal in Port Botany has been a single 4 hour-stoppage about four weeks ago, along with bans on working excessive hours."

And again, from the @MaritimeUnionAU:
"In recent days, Patrick management cancelled three consecutive night shifts — on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights — preventing any containers from being unloaded or transported from the terminal."

And yet the MUA is being asked by the media how it can in good conscience block "urgent medical supplies" arriving in Australia. Which it is not actually doing.
These delays are being confected by Patricks at a crucial negotiating time to turn the media & public against the union
