I'm listening to Jim Puplava and one of his guests, speaking of California, said: "Public servants can hire their own bosses." The pollies are indebted to the strong unions and the PS are the most unionised. That is how the work conditions Mark objects to are born.

I knew that. :rolleyes:

I'm old enough to remember the bad old days when unions were a necessary evil. The are just a bunch of leaches today, where the organizers etc are simply lining their own pockets. But it isn't the unions that are forcing these expensive changes it is socialist governments and their "you...

Don't hold back WW. Tell us how you really feel. :D I am from basic working class stock and always thought the unions had a genuine place in life and agreed with "It's Time". I have only voted Liberal when Labor was truly "on the nose". But the good news is: I'm cured now! No way, as long...

I'm lost. If Rudd wasn't a communist he was near as "damn it". (Privately I would call him a "fifth columnist") And he has been dumped by the right to install someone even further left. :eek::eek::eek: Nothing makes sense any more.

Someone with a little more panache might be able to stay in the system but I can't see him hanging around. He'll spit the dummy and resign. (Just a guess :))

I know you are an independent lady and will vote your conscience, Biggles, but sadly not everyone does. Some of the female voters will vote Labor because of her just as some men won't. On balance, it will work in her favour, at least during the honeymoon period.
