Speaking of Labor love-ins, Q&A tonight should set a new milestone. A carbon pricing love-in. Greg Combet and assorted worthies. But I'm sure Lenore will insist on balance.Indeed it was.
"IT must be horrible to wake up every morning wondering if you will still have your job," she sympathised, pausing for near-perfect comic timing. "I can't imagine how that must feel."
... Julia says "What, I can't hear you " and get stuffed, by the way cop a new tax.

Resources Minister Martin Ferguson and Regional Development Minister Simon Crean - both former ACTU leaders - urged unions to consider the nation's long-term productivity capacity, as they had done when negotiating the 1980s Prices and Incomes Accord.
Mr Ferguson said unions were forcing “unsustainable” deals that risked harming the nation's competitiveness.

Heavens, how did you get that idea? He's going extremely well. Has already put in place much of what he promised. As someone who voted for him, I couldn't be more pleased. Such a relief after the wasteful ways of Bligh et al.BTW how is Cando going in QLD looking a little messy so early....................
Labor will cancel Xmas if their celebrations of Gillard's second anniversary as PM are anything to go by.LOL I suspect the Xmas party will be a quite affair at best..........
The construction companies knew governments and commercial property developers would pay the higher costs. However, faced with bad construction industry management and unions who knew how to exploit it, the Howard government stepped in and set up the Australia Building and Construction Commission.
The ABCC effectively put a rod behind weak managers by making many bad work site practices illegal. The ABCC was starting to bring down costs and would have achieved a reduction of at least 25 per cent. But then the Gillard government disemboweled the ABCC to make it completely ineffective. The situation was made worse by the disastrous Victorian desalination plant agreement, which took bad practices to a new level.
In the absence of Canberra action, the Victorian government is taking the lead and duplicating many of the ABCC requirements on Victorian government projects.
