Also it now looks like QLD is a tad unsettled after ALP sacked a member. I think this now gives them and Libs same amount of seats with Katters party holding the balance.
Katter is known as a very effective Pollie will be I interrsring to see how he uses this new power.
Wages for the majority of Australians have been falling for over thirty years.Quote:

In the short term that's great news for business owners.
In the long terms it's a disaster because if wages fall so does spending.
The solution [and its a bad one] is to rely on households to spend more than they earn using credit.
This is the flawed logic behind surplus budgets being sustainable or indeed responsible.
You're doing it all wrong sir.Quote:

It's a bit like how when timed local phone calls were mentioned around twenty years ago people were up in arms about it and said they would never allow it to happen.
Fast forward ten years or so and most of the population have embraced using mobile phones which effectively introduced timed local calls to the masses by stealth.
The stupidity of the population never ceases to amaze.
Absolutely.Quote:

I hate everyone.

PRIME Minister Tony Abbott has launched a new jobs network at Simonds Stadium this morning.
The Government has committed $5 billion to establish jobactive, which aims to help the unemployed find work and assist employees in securing suitable jobseekers.
From July 1, 66 organisations will deliver one or more jobactive services to job seekers and employers across Australia.
The Government want to ensure there are clearer incentives to ensure employment service providers are focused on better preparing job seekers to meet the needs of local employers and helping people to find and keep a job.
Service providers will no longer receive ‘job placement’ payments. The rules around training have also been tightened to ensure that job seekers are not being sent to training, for training’s sake.
The announcement comes after a Geelong Advertiser report on unemployment surging to a four-year high in Geelong’s northern suburbs, reaching almost 20 per cent in the final months of 2014.
Long story Short. It's the failed JobsNetwork Mark III and an attempt to blame the unemployed and most vulnerable people in society for the macroeconomic failures of every Australian government since 1972.
Governments used to be concerned with full employment now they are concerned with full employability. In other words government is investing in training people for jobs that simply do not exist once again.
One hundred dogs trying to find ten bones would be a fair description of the new scheme.
the vote in balmain and newtown is clearly aimed at westconnex. it's a donkey of a road, and a terrible solution and the voters know itQuote:

Yeah everything I read was about it being against that road. Was Labor in favour of it as well? Is that why they didn't get the vote?Quote:
