    Yeh, but thats the spindoctors with their 6%, it includes everybody on a work for the dole scheme and every skills based traineeship type deal, which is still funded by the Feds ie you and I.But your right on the last point we should get something from them for our taxes, because they arent ever going to pay any.

    Crump,
    we are damned if we do and damned if we don't. Vote for one and they will still shaft us and use the election result as a mandate, even thoygh no body supported that perticular idea, vote the other way and the same thing would happen. Don't vote and your branded apathetic.

    I have a great idea,
    VOTE 1 CRUMP FOR PM !!!!!!
    Stand on AULRO'ian forum and let's take back the country.
    First policy change, everybody must worship Land Rover and all current AULRO members will make up the parliament and be provided free Land Rovers for life at the expense of ex-politicians.

    I like it. But i doubt anyone else does. Dont get me wrong though, I really think the whole political thing is a waste of time, I'd rather be sucking P %$ss on the banks of the Palmer river then spending too much time worrying about this stuff, lifes short.

    Our new IR "laws" aren't too far removed from the yankee ones.

    Saw a sticker today "Australia used to be a kick a r s e country but now is a kiss a r s e one"

    Pretty well sums it up, I think. As long as little Johnny keeps performing oral sex on that war mongering, oil greedy, yank, we are well on our way to becoming the 51st state of the united states of the world. If the republican movement gets its way, it will really pave the way to be yankified once we cut ties with the "old country". I don't believe we should be under british rule, but I sure as hell don't want to be under yankee rule!

    The yankification of Australia is well on track Just look as all those yankee fast food chains, and the high percentage of yankee tv being forced down our throats. Our kids are right up on all the yankee speak, like, you know, like and like own all the yankee fashions like and enslave themselves like to the latest like yankee fad like.

    I go the SHOP for a TIN of Kirks and some hot CHIPS. then I walk home on the FOOTPATH etc etc etc...

    Our language has adopted the yankeeisms, through and through.

    Do I hate the yanks? Not at all. I have a ball when I visit the US. I have a very dear american friend in the US, who I visit from time to time and even he says he's ashamed of the way the US forces its opinions and power on the world. Just because it is their way, doesn't mean it is the right way. And that goes for every single country in the world, even ours.

    I grew up in our way of life and I love it. That's why I'm still living here! But I really am worried about the decay of our society in general and at the hands of the bullies of the world.

    I'll crawl back into my hole....

    Sorry guys,
    My parents are small business owners and have welcomed the changes.
    They want to employ another staff member or two but have been burnt by the difficult business of getting rid of a previous lazy non committed employee and are now gun shy.
    Dad says he is willing to now employ again albiet in a reduced hours situation knowing he can rid himself of a troublesome new employee if they don't fit the image of his business or have the commitment required.

    My two bobs worth..

    The problem is there needs to be some sort of official safety net to catch the people who abuse the system. This sacking people and then rehiring them on lower rates of pay and conditions is appalling. Or saying the position is no longer required and then hiring to fill the same job or the same job with a different name is garbage.
    Look at a lot of the meat processing plants round Australia. Try and find a slaughterman that is not Muslim!! Even before these laws came into place it was common practice to sack or retrench whole floors in the meat industry and then replace them with lower paid Muslim workers. Reverse racism at its best. If these people demand Halal meat let them go back to where they came from. And no I do not didlike Muslims. I have a lot of friends who are Muslim, but this is not the Middle East. With the new IR laws it is easier. Sure the government will make a stand on the first few cases, but down the track when all has settled it will be open slather.
    Believe me I have been i a situation with a personality conflict, backstabbing wannabe's. My work ethic is great and I have never not done my job or more and this is verified by references. Under the new IR legislation it would have been easy for my old boss to sack me without a reason. Under the old law or assessment from the Commissioner of Workplace Relations they new they would not have stood a chance as there were no grounds. Just I had ****ed the wrong person off, because they were not doing their job and I could see that. Needless to say a career change still within the company was imminent and probablly the best thing that happened to me. In the end the manager I had an issue with has been moved on, subtlely. I have had several managers and supervisors what happened was wrong. Even under workplace agreements you have no real backup or assistance against your boss, under IR laws it is even less.

    IR Laws.

    I made a statement earlier about Spotlight taking on a business that wasn't performing to their expectations. I withdraw that as it wasn't them but a company with a very similiar name and I trust I didn't upset anyone and if I did it was unintentional.
    The rest of my post I stick by. Politicians are a disgusting sub species.
