Whats more interesting is Australia has bought American Tanks and Canada has bought German Tanks. I think Canada may be distencing itself from the godd old US of A.

Doesnt change the facts that when labour was in power, we had no money, howard in power and were debt free.

If any monkey could have done it, why didnt labour?

Doesnt sound like the unions did a very good job of bargaining then? if you think people are getting $85 an hour? and the unions only got them $27 who are these people on $85.00 an hour & what roles are they doing, are you talking the builders? the ones spending their own money to make the things happen?

If so there worth $85.00 an hour, and the subbies following him around on $27, sounds right to me, add on holidays, super etc. the subbies are probably on more like $35 - $40 an hour, when you work it out from the builders end.

I think most people on this forum would think $27 an hour is quite good for somebody that is on wages.

Again, just another meaningless statement, have you anything to support or back up that up, or did you read it in Solidarity Monthly

AWA's are not there to support maximum pay for minimum effort. You will generally find that if you are a good employee that more lucrative pay for performance agreements can be negotiated.Can often be likened to the good ole win/win principle, as opposed to the employee abrogating their responsibilities.

That said there will always be the unscrupulous empolyer that will abuse the system regardless of which Government is in power.

The houses wouldnt have increased in value so much if the states released enough land you do realise? & Costello is the bloody reason the countries making so much money.

well from what I was saying last night about companies hireing all the immagrants the last jobi was at there were over 50% boat people so when the company put forward there new eba aggrement with no sick pay no loading bla bla the union rep ordered a strike the company cracked the sh*ts and said they were going to fine every one $20000. Any way the eba went to vote and surprise surprise all the non australians voted for it because they were told if the joined the union they would have no job. this sh*t went on for a while so no matter how u look at it Howard will go
