The ScoMo Government

I just turned up and did what I was asked to do and went home.
I’ve been through the commission before and won against Kentz.
I think your a dinosaur whose had one job in the last 20 years and really don’t have a clue about mining and oil and gas employment
Let me guess Alcoa?

Time to move on.
I've never worked for Alcoa, but have heard the conditions are great.
With regard the commission, Shorten appointed the two vice presidents.

Also Abetz hates the fair work commission.

So they obviously aren't doing what the Libs want, which is probably a good thing.

With regard yourself and taking on shutdown contracts, probably best to have a list of questions to ask before you sign on.
Then you shouldn't get any suprises.
 
You just don’t get it do you
All the shutdown labour hire mobs are the same
They give you 2shirts a pair of glasses a glove clip and hard hat and off you go.
I just do it when I get bored or want to buy something
I was just explaining how it works

Cockburn Cement was full of poms
Close to that sh1thole Yangebup too
 
I did, and still do. You never know what you've got until it's gone. for many, things didn't feel rosy in 2006/2007 until the GFC of latter years. If we cop another one after next year a lot of us will be wanting to wind the clock back to today (whether Silly billy wins or not) :D

My 2 cents :2twocents:2twocents
 
Well it sounds like someone doesn't know what they are doing, either you for signing up for work that didn't pay you enough, or them for underpaying you.
The fair work commission is made up of a lot of members.

COMMISSION STACKING
The Coalition has stacked the Fair Work Commission with six new deputy presidents from employer backgrounds, despite advice from tribunal president Iain Ross the commission required only one additional appointment to replace a forthcoming retirement.

According to The Australian ($), Jobs and Industrial Relations Minister Kelly O’Dwyer has appointed deputies from workplace backgrounds at groups such as the Australian Mines and Metals Association, and the National Electrical and Contractors Association, meaning that the workplace umpire now contains a majority of Coalition-backed employer-linked appointees.
 
Yeah - there's nothing "independent" about Fairwork... it's just a proxy Govt department.

Shorten made a tactical error by stating he would accept the penalty rate decision before it was made.
 
I think even the RBA, is worried about more than the encryption bill.
It may have far reaching privacy problems, but no one worries about privacy, when they are broke.

If you believe Shorten made an error, rather than take a gift, he should be able to reverse it next year when he gets in.lol
 
Penalty rates lol Qantas have gone one further and aren’t even going to pay its staff
Jack up their prices at Xmas and then want people to work for nothing
Just as out of touch as politicians
 
You would think they'd learn from our mistakes here with revolving door Prime Ministers.

Brexit is dead for now I reckon - stand by for the market wobblies.
 
They may as well just stay in Europe as accept PM May's 'deal'. They should just go with a 'No Deal' Brexit, but won't have the bottle.
I see the UK going back to another referendum, and the cultural elites will ensure the outcome is Remain this time.
 
The Coalition will be walloped next May (or sooner). Many share James Allan's exasperation with our political masters, on both sides.
Christmas in Australia’s Political Poorhouse -14th December 2018
James Allan is Garrick Professor of Law at the University of Queensland and the author of Democracy in Decline: https://quadrant.org.au/opinion/qed/2018/12/christmas-in-australias-political-poorhouse/ ...Mr. Pyne, Ms. Payne and Ms. O’Dwyer. Note that ScoMo opted to put all three of those political giants in his Cabinet, but not Tony Abbott, thereby showing a stunning disregard for the views of his party’s base and core voters.

How many of you readers are still angry about how Kelly O’Dwyer attacking superannuation with changes that could easily have come from a Labor government — changes that will make it near impossible for the Libs to protest when Labor opts for further changes down the road....
 
Nonsense. Put Abbott in Cabinet and the vote will be worse. What is needed is for those like Abbott to be kicked out of the party. If you are in a seat with one of the Murdoch apparach it is important you vote them out so the party can go back to the values of its founders.
I am very hopeful Abbott will lose his seat.
 
Yep, I'll give anyone another chance if they haven't harmed too much previously, but Abbott and Dutton were front and centre in the Alan Jones/Macquarie/News Corp destruction of Turnbull. Looking like Abbott has just polished the grub up a bit.
We need a good middle of the road Government. I'm still giving ScoMo a chance, but then again I've become a bit disengaged.
 
Oh yes Abbott won in a landslide in 2013 and took 17 seats off Labor. Can't have someone like that in charge.

We know Mr Harbourside Mansion is Labor's idea of a leader, but he was in the wrong party, and duly frittered away the margin, ably assisted by the Minister for Going to Openings
