Canberra's corridors have been rocked by claims that prominent politicians remain addicted to "Work Choices". It follows John Howard's appearance on Sky News over the weekend.
Wayne Swan was on the Gold Coast, clearly concerned, when he said 'I think that commentary provides confirmation that the Liberal and National parties remain Work Choices addicts'
A growing, if anonymous, group of politicians are speaking out about being accosted in corridors, car parks, lobbies and even during dinner by the addicts.
'It never stops.Always armed with new facts and proposals. Sometimes they will ring my phone every ten minutes.'
'He would knock on my office door without setting an appointment, or he would wait in the foyer until I left my office. Always wanting more Work Choices - talking about the past, what could happen in the future. All kinds of disgusting deals.'
'You didn't feel safe moving around Parliament House anymore. It will only get worse now that their leader is out pushing again.'
The highly placed source was adamant that steps be taken before parliament closes or 'our hands will be tied and these addicts could be free to harm the public.'
