This piece of shit changed the work place laws, obviously, I lost my job because of it, but this adds salt to the wound:

Spotlight employees have recently lost:

All penalty rates
All overtime rates
their 17.5% annual leave loading
and have lost TEA BREAKS!

omg

and to compensate have gained 2 cents an our extra over their wages.

yes.

because after a 40 hour working week we all need an extra 80 cents.


Wow, he needs to be assasinated, I hope he loses the next election.

My sourcing comes from Health Care Union Club magazine my mum has subscribed to.

He's a complete fuckwit. It sucks that you lost your job Dave and it sucks that heaps of good Aussie's are now getting put over a barrel and have to take it from behind from their employers. It just plain sucks and it is wrong and the only way we can fight back is if the people rise up and say No. Make sure you tell as many of your friends and associates as you can how you feel and try to change something.

I recently lost my job too.

These laws suck.

Thankfully, they haven't hit the wages of white collar workers as badly because they realise they are going to get shit staff if they cut the pay too much, but give it 10 years in effect, and I think we'll be just as bad off across the board.

:( Not a pleasant topic at all.

Wait, what the fuck?

Just what is he trying to achieve by fucking over the people who put him in power in the first place?

tea breaks? there is/was such a thing? were they in addition to regular breaks? hmm..sorry you lost all your work stuff and your job, sounds really shitty.

He is attemting to improve our economy, and the way he's going about it is putting this country into a state of 3rd world by having all Australia's workers working 14 hour days at 4 bucks an hour with no holiday no leave loading no nothing, to improve economic growth because there is more money staying in Australian businesses.

Sorry to hear that Grant man :( this country is starting to suck.

Is there any good news from any country these days?

Yeah, the Aussies all got tax cuts, and new wave of Kiwis to take thier jobs from them :D
