I don`t know what the answer is(but i have my own theory), every week that goes by people are getting the bullet, another load of workers went from my brothers place of employment last week, his company are packing and going to manilla, to expensive to operate here.
i just think that the way our country`s is being run the only way for us to compete is to throw away some of the many things that Australians fought for many years, sick pay, holiday pay, penalty rates, some of the social safety nets, and i don`t believe we have to or should, it`s political policy imo and not just about wages..
