Yes-say an orchardist wants good quality eating apples picked.....he would pay wages to get unbruised first class apples....not let piece workers go their hardest and produce inferior quality.
And you have to factor in what the farmer has done to produce suitable product. For example some products need to be the right size, no insect bites etc. Quality can be extremely variable.
Good to see his former master calling Abbott out for political muckraking.
It has to be pretty bad before Conservatives attack their own.
What is Labor's plan to fix unemployment, syd?
Which is why John Howard was a long term popular prime minister in a way Tony Abbott will never be.FORMER prime minister John Howard is uneasy about the *Abbott government’s decision to hold royal commissions into the former Labor government.
Why? It's about a former leader of the Liberal Party being honest enough to apply some appropriate criticism to the current PM. I don't see how that should go into any thread about the Labor Party.Perhaps this link is a bit off the thread but it is reply.
It would have been better suited to the the thread , "THE USELESS LABOR PARTY".
On Syd's behalf, labor are not in government.

Good on him for having the integrity to speak out.

Agree.
Also the Labor party did not kill off the automotive industry in this country. Massive mistake that one, unless you are happy with Australia becoming a third world nation.

Considering it's 2 years from an election, Abbott spent most of his time in opposition without articulating a plan, and still seems to have no plan beyond repeal of the mining tax and carbon tax will cause business to begin investing again, why is it now that an opposition party should have these kinds of policies.
That said, I'd be a darned site happier if Labor was more nuanced in their opposition. If they sounded like that had a bit more of a plan than Abbott, which IMHO wouldn't be that difficult, then the Government would be in a real pickle.
One thing I must say, since the abolition of the that stupid carbon dioxide tax, which I might add did nothing to affect climate change, my electricity bill has been dramatically reduced.
Tariff 11 ....down by 9.41%
Tariff 31.....down by 18.31%
Tariff 33.....down by 12,11%

THE extreme left-wing Australia Institute has been conducting a relentless campaign against the resources industries that are the foundation of Australia’s prosperity.
It grabs at every possible opportunity ”” from climate change to spurious claims of taxpayer handouts ”” to try to delegitimise the industry in overall terms and to kill individual projects.
In its latest sally AI had claimed that state and territory governments had provided $17.6 billion in subsidies to the industry over a six-year period.
Well, an analysis of the claim for the Minerals Council of Australia has completely demolished both the claimed subsidy in general and the claimed figure specifically.
Arguably, the demolition even more fundamentally demolishes the AI itself and any claims it had ”” if you’ll pardon the expression ”” left to analytical credibility.

Well Syd, at least Abbott doesn't have to find employment for another 50,000 boat people, that would have arrived if Labor/Greens had been re elected.
Shock and horror. Mineral council funds research showing....resource companies don't get much subsidies at all.
Whodathunkit.
Who would you move on Noco?
Do you know what "much" subsidies is and the amount? I'd be interested to see what an independent (neutral if that's at all possible) auditor came up with rather than the far left and far right studies you are quoting.
