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.

Yeh but with that new law of his it gives the employer power to take away all of your entitlements, so u may get a good hourly rate but in the end u get all

the government has just countered that in the budget, not that it was anything to complain about. If you have a boss that is an arse, and doesnt want to pay you properly etc. Then you would be better off looking for another job anyways wouldnt you? we have the lowest unemployment in Australias history now so its not like you will have any trouble getting a job now is it?

And do all the tradies on this forum and all the small business people realise that the compulsory GST registration has been increased from a $50,000 turnover limit to $75,000 as of the new financial year?

how good is that I guess alot of people will be de-registering for GST.

It wasnt announced on the news but my dad read it today in the paper somewhere.

yeh but most of the employeers are going that way now, even some of the mines up here are heading down that track. Calling the cops when ever they dont want a union rep to come in its crazy

I dont think many (note I said many) will argue that workplace reforms were needed....it was always too in favour of the worker, but the fact that the power shifted so suddenly to the bosses is the reason that it has caused so many problems....

either way, there is no turning back.

on topic....the budget still is a huge vote winner and nothing but. if the reforms, the war on terror, and numerous other liberal govt stuff up's hadnt occurred, or if the liberals were doing better in the polls, the $$$ would've stayed in the kitty for a rainy day!!

My 20 year old son will never be able to buy his first house.......unless he gets some hefty family help.that's progress? NZ is out of ANZUS - good on them.........and why do Aussies fight everyone elses wars?To keep Veterans Affairs ticking over?George W is a patent idiot and he's not my mate.We paid our WW2 debt in Vietnam.Labour generally speaking,couldn't run a lemonade stand but I'll put up with them for 3 years if I have to; because I believe Costello is the greater of two evils.

Time to go -John Howard

Id also like to say that I believe your 20 year old son has PLENTY of opportunity to buy his first home, and who says it has to be a house? why cant he buy a unit like ive just done, and work his way up to a house?

how much is rent on a unit? $300 - $350 per week? are you telling me you cant buy a small 2 bedroom unit somewhere with 5% deposit (or even no deposit) for that sort of rent/repayment equivilant? I think you can my friend.

The first property is always the hardest, it always has been, I certainly dont think ANYBODY is shut out of the property market, even at todays prices. You just need to look around, even rural areas have an awesome rental return. You can buy a house in warwick for $140,000 which has a rental return of $200 - $250 a week.

Every day there are new finance companies coming out with great deals, finance applications are getting easier, with low doc loans and all. Your son could finance a property at 106% and negative gear it so he doesnt pay tax. He could go in with a mate, he could even borrow the deposit if he was clever enough.

George Bush isnt my mate either, but costello certainly is.

I cant see Johnny going, there is no real reason to vote him out, as Rudd and labour are an unknown. In my opinion, they have not done enough to inspire the populace, and I believe it will be a case of better the devil you know.

The war in Iraq will go on for ever, eventually we will leave, but they will still war within themselves.

Australia will prosper for 3 years after labour get in.

The plane will not take off.
