She is a lawyer and the Attorney General for the country and she doesn't understand what a conflict of interest is. She doesn't grasp that it does not matter if she is 100% above board or not. The conflict of interest exists regardless of her actions. The conflict is the situation, not the outcome.
Forget about the shops her daughter owns then. There is an even bigger conflict of interest if her husband is the one who was handling these retail space contracts. This only gets worse.
No one needs to be blocked. You and I may not like or agree with Tal, but that is the basis of Free Speech. We can't be falling in line with Mitchell and Gibson's idea that we have to hold our tongues in this country.
Being Autistic does not mean you can't understand what's going on. There is a sliding scale of how autism affects you and everyone is affected differently. Many autistic people function very normally in society.
Especially a union who didn't even manage to negotiate a new collective agreement. The union didn't register their 2003 agreement (yes 12 years ago) therefore making it void. Unions are suppose to work for their members. I'm not sure what this one even does.
*“They are in our country as guests,” Mr Woods said, “if they can’t follow the law then they need to leave, for these people to be speaking out against the government in the way they are doing.”*
Firstly, if you take their money, they are no longer just a guest. They've paid to play. And are we really going to start censoring what people say about the government? This is not a dictatorship! People should not fear the government, the government should fear the people.
The reason the union sees this as an all out war is that they are going to have a pretty hard time collecting their dues if they aren't deducted off their payroll and without that the union is sunk. I'm sure there are enough employees who would just rather keep their fees and be done with this union as they don't seem to have done a lot of good lately, losing just about every battle they start.

Exactly! They seem to miss the point that once you invest your money here, you're no longer a 'guest' or 'visitor'.
