Gee Tombie, Imagine having to work 80 hours, must be hard.
Most of my working life as an employee and self employed I worked an average of 84+ hours/week. And those hours were productive hours, actually out there earning the CASH FLOW you talk about.
You blame the unions for Australia's troubles, more Packer/Murdoch bull**** that you seem to have been Brainwashed with.
Quote: "oh the poor workers, always getting screwed" brain washing"
Without the ****ing "workers" you would be on the Dole.
You people up in your Ivory Towers think your sweat earns your company money, no it is those workers you seem to think are beneath you that actually bring in the cash, they earn money you drain it.
This will be a third world country with attitudes like yours and others on here.
No unions, no manufacturing industry, no value added goods exported, foreign owned Agriculture and mining with foreign workers, a larger immigrant intake with less jobs for Australians.
This is Australia NOW, a foreign workforce to make Australian workers more compliant, Agricultural land bought up for mining and ownership of export crops and minerals and Tombie crowing what a good thing that he doesn't have to pay his share of the Taxes.
Most of my working life I paid more than half of every penny I earned in taxes, why because I didn't have a corporate structure to hide behind, I didn't have whole firms of accountants and lawyers moving money and company assets offshore to avoid paying tax.
I had to pay taxes on my Gross earnings, like the majority of Australians, because Governments knew their big business bosses wouldn't be forking over their share, someone has to pay for Government.
Those people that bash unions, I have noticed over the years are always first in line to accept union fought for wages and awards, and also the first to whinge about having to join a union and pay union fees, ****ing Hypocrites!
Regards Frank.

Did I not recognise the workers? I believe I did...
And, I pay a lot of tax - I minimise by leasing etc. but I still throw a sizeable chunk into the coffers.
You are sounding like the stereotypical "whinging worker"...
Workers make things, but you wouldn't be making **** without a plan or direction.
You wouldn't be operating machinery without a maintenance program, investment, projects.
Completely different to the fantasy world you claim. Work force is a primary area of company cost - it comes from wages.
A $375mil project 8 years ago was over $230mil in wages alone.
And if those big companies didn't keep investing / chasing profit. You wouldn't have a bloody job...
Do you forget BHP was the "syndicate of 7" when they started out.
Keep dreaming.
A word of advice, chaps, if you want to pass political comment, take it to CA.
If you don't know what CA (Current Affairs) is, PM me.
