Let me guess, someone who earns over 150k a year isn't a 'hard working australian' ?
Now we know The decision who to vote for on the 21st August is now easy. Gillard stands for everthing that is good for hard working Australians going forward.
Abbott stands for everything that is bad for hard working Australians going backward.
Kinda sums it up really.THE stage for the election campaign has been set...... But for voters the choice between the major parties won't be an easy one. Neither side inspires confidence to become custodians of the national interest for the three years ahead.
On the one hand people don't think Tony Abbott is ready to become prime minister, and his team isn't ready to sit confidently around a cabinet table. Even some Liberals think a return to government this year would be too soon.
But after a full term of bungled policy implementation by the Labor government, voters know the incumbents aren't worthy of holding on to office either.

All sorted?? They simply gave in to the big miners and in the process grossly distorted the figures which are only now becoming clear.Look at the mining tax - All sorted
A bit late for the dead young men, wouldn't you say? Proper supervision of the training process would have prevented this.The insulation debacle where 4 died - Action in the courts has been taken against the dodgy installation company's
Yep, a Howard government initiative.The asylum seekers where Timor wont agree - Big deal..Nauru is keen
With huge waste of taxpayer funds, resulting in over-stimulus to the economy and the obvious sequelae that we have seen in several interest rate rises.Not to mention the schools where excess money was spent - Stimulus worked
Unless there a tradie or working in the mines etc...no there not hard working just over paid and well qualified.

all at a cost to US the tax payers - Pretty sure we are getting a tax cut.

yeh..... an analyst putting in 60-80 hour working week isn't working hard is he...
oh yeh i forgot, its not hard unless you are using your hands
so essentially what you are saying is that if you aren't sweating you aren't "working hard"?
such a battler's attitude

Physical bias in those definitions.If we divide work into 5 category's of ease, and undergound mining fits into the Hard category...where to you think analysing fits?
- Very easy
- Easy = analysing, anything in a office.
- Moderate
- Hard = under ground mining, extended off shore fishing, roof installation.
- Very hard
Its a realistic attitude..one that comes from a life of more than 15 different jobs often requiring working outside my comfort zone.

Hard work can be painful in my experience, its work that can require personal risk, work that can take you out of your comfort zone...as far as im concerned if your not sweating and or in some kind of discomfort then your not working HARD.
Working long hours doing whatever in a office is never ever hard, im sure it can be demanding in its own way but if you call any type of office work hard then what do you call physical work 500 meters underground in temperatures over 35c ?
So Cynical, your comments above show little understanding of the effects of psychological stress and constant high concentration in a mentally demanding role.Churchill laid bricks for leasure. Working effects the male ego of protector and provider. Peace of mind gives ballance and time for decisions and ideas to gestate.
Dont waste your breath so Cynical, you're probably talking to a lot here who wouldn't have a clue what real work is about, I say real work not necessarily hard work, though hard work does usually equate to real work..
Work that contributes something of benefit to the world, whether by a service , manufacturing, growing produce, designing, planning, building, creating, scientific endeavour, education, medicine etc etc, work that gets things done....
As opposed to paper shufflers and pushers such as those in the financial industrys e.g. accountants, financial planners, annalists, bankers , professional traders, and the likes that use other peoples money and hard work to over pay themselves without having to guarantee anything of benefit to their clients, and certainly nothing or little of value to the world in general....also add in the majority of forum jockeys on ASF, who appear to kick with their right foot, and seem to have all the time in the world to contribute to this type of thread, and actually have the gaul to talk about doing something, anything for the benefit of Australia. It's laughable, because they certainly can't to be doing a lot of real work, they spend so much time in front of the puter..
Say no more...

Why do you think so many people turn to hard physical activity as a means of relaxation? Hard physical work/activity burns off stress, anxiety and depression. The nation's gyms are full of such people.
When the person who has engaged in hard physical work for the day finishes, he goes home, probably has a few beers, and doesn't give the job a thought until he clocks on again the next morning. The person working in a highly competitive, mentally demanding job, however, may likely get little sleep because of the anticipation of another stressful day ahead where the smallest lapse in concentration can have major effects.
Explod makes a good point. Repetitive, physical activity, often something as simple as walking or running with its endorphin release can indeed generate new ideas and solutions to problems.
