    Who is going to vote liberal?

    The Liberals ads on tv saying Labor MPs that were union officials are anti-business is a load of crap. Union officials (full-time union representatives/negotiators) communicate with businesses and want to maintain a healthy relationship. Many of them allow employers to cut wages and working...

    2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Rudd?

    The economy was in recession when Labor came to power in 1983. The recession in 1990/91 significantly reduced inflation and hence interest rates. Obviously recessions arent pretty and unemployment was over 10% but that recession is a key factor of why inflation and interest rates have been so...

    2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Rudd?

    Yeh thats right. Low income earners are more likely to spend their tax cut while high income earners will most likely save the money. However, I do not support a policy just because it is the most economically efficient thing to do. An example is wage increases for a low income earner on an...

    2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Rudd?

    High income earners have received plenty of tax cuts from the Federal govt. In 2005 the highest tax bracket was 47c per dollar in incomes $95,000+. The main reason why receive tax cuts is because high income earners are the Liberal party's base. Most of the safe Liberal seats are in very...

    Do you agree with this AWAs/IR Laws bulldust?

    My point was that employment law should require employers to treat workers humanly. Workers should be entitled to rest breaks, meal breaks, adequate rest periods between shifts, etc. Also, the Australian govt is violating international labour standards and human rights laws by not allowing...

    Do you agree with this AWAs/IR Laws bulldust?

    AWAs prior to WorkChoices covered only 2% of workers. AWAs also had more minimum conditions such as meal breaks and there was the "no disadvantage" test which provided monetary compensation for the loss of conditions Peoples' working wages and conditions form part of their human rights...

    Do you agree with this AWAs/IR Laws bulldust?

    We're not talking about why people dont do further education. The issue is that the employment law doesnt provide an adequate safety net.

    Do you agree with this AWAs/IR Laws bulldust?

    Obviously peoples' experiences with AWAs are different. Lots of people will be very happy with their agreement, such as people involved in the mining industry in WA. However, unskilled workers in areas such as retail and hospitality are very vulnerable Unskilled workers individually have...

    Sicko - Michael Moore's new film

    I think Moore's comparing the US system to the French and Cuban systems was pointless. France has an extremely generous social security system that is non-existant in most Anglo, English speaking countries. Its horrible that in the US health care is completely a profit based industry and the...

    What position do you want to apply for? I think the two main positions at Officeworks are point of sale (checkout) and salesperson (business machines). A few months ago I had an individual interview with Coles and a few years ago I had an individual interview with Officeworks. They'll...
