go to page 15 and read the example of Billy -

this is where we're headed people

btw - apparently the 38 hour week is averaged out over the whole year - say hello to working a few 60 hours a week, including weekends, with no overtime! on a public holiday! with no friggin breaks!
This isn't the actually proposed legislation, this is the propaganda booklet. It's unbelievable that they think they're doing the right thing by Billy.

The actual proposed legislation is not available to us .

mate, if there weren't banks we couldnt buy houses, if there wasnt insurance companies we couldnt recover from a major loss, if there weren't oil companies we would have no transport and every thing we do/use in our everyday lives would be affected.

Fact is, whilst we all like to cry "woe is me" these companies make all our of lives ALOT easier, as i said if they didnt generate a profit they wouldnt exist and we would have none of the very basic examples above.

I am a major capitalist, you should have the opportunity to achieve whatever you like as long as you do it ethically; but i also believe when you are in a good position you should be more obliged to be more charitable.


if there were no oil companies there wouldn't be transport? have you heard of the bicycle? or using your legs?

so when my dad gets sacked after 16 years because some suit higher up in the chain s up its ok, because big companies make our lives easier? and now they don't have to pay him and the other loyal people who get screwed they can make more profits?

why couldnt we buy houses if there was no banks? people can dig a hole in their backyard, and i bet there aren't any digging fees! if there were no banks there would be less crime (nowhere to rob), less time wasted standing in queues, no stupid fees.



two of the above comments are possibly made in jest.

Any government that tries to minimise gypsies entering our country has my vote.


Too many people expect a free ride in this world thats the problem. Higher education is expensive, you expect the government to pay for everything in your life? Were a country full of handouts, and now were cutting that down everyones whingeing, because all of a sudden the handouts have stopped...
