You keep bangin' on about these inner ring houses like they should be freely available and cheap to the masses. Don't forget the rates on those babies these days too...ouch. They were at the end of civilisation back in those days - not inner ring at all. They were "cheaper" then in dollar...

Yeah, it was all cucumber sandwiches and G&T's on the verandah.... Started with "everything"? What's "everything"? Apart from free Uni, the rest was the same as far as I know and still is. In fact; many didn't have a second income. I suppose you could say that Medicare isn't free because of...

Where are they? I might be in a position soon to pick up a cheap boat, jet ski, McMansion as an IP, etc. ;)

And yay, verily, did God, on the seventh day, invent golf, and he thus went forward and played it. And God was pleased..... Actually; he wasn't because he can't seem to cure his slice with his driver, he 3-putted four holes, and it took 5 hours for the round. "Spare a Talent for an old...

It's not a given in many industries. Almost all employees are made aware of the need for them to be available to work on weekends before they start a new job. Why? Because it is not something everyone wants to do, and this is proven by the fact that almost all wage earning jobs are paid a...

This one is of special relevance to me, being an old b@stard who was there when it was "the old days"... I don't believe young folk are soft, but the choices weren't there back in the old days. There was no 5 years interest free deal from Harvey, There was no credit card There was almost no...

Just like I've been saying and saying. The Unions and their Members always think it's a great and clever thing when they succeed in gouging the Company for some weird perk (other than a simple wage increase), then whinge when folk are laid off down the track. You don't often see the Unions or...

Actually, I have seen a few work after 3........ But never let details get in the way of making a point. ;) As a group; ordinary work ethic, generally...they could knock over a house build in about 3 months if they pulled their finger out and were fair dinkum for a change. Is it good or bad...

Operative word being "some".

Must be a different Country to Aus...I'm yet to see one work past about 3, and forget a worksite being open if there's a public holiday within a bull's roar of a normal weekend so they can shuffle in another day off for a long weekend. Try getting some bricks laid on a Fri afternoon ahead of...

If your job (Company operation) could be done OS, would there still be a job for you here? That is our last protection boys and girls - a business that can only be operated from Aus. I'm not anti-Union; I'm anti lack of common sense. When you have working scenarios where folk cannot be gotten...

Food for thought; If all these things were to go; The Employer Super Guarantee (about to go up), 11 paid sick days per year 4 weeks paid annual leave per year (my wife gets 6 weeks) Penalty rates Worcare premuims Payroll tax (not me personally, but you get the idea) Redundancy pay Severance...

This is merely another act in the same long play.

are you referring to me?

These sort of statements need to be taken in context. I would wager that in those Countries where wages are very low, and possibly employment is not too plentiful, the choices are more limited for work. It is a shame that some are exploited/taken advantage of, but life isn't fair. It's up to...
