  • Mr Rudd has asked the public for greater productivity, but he's just changed the IR laws back to the 1980's. Thats when Japan decided to obtain its iron ore from Brazil, because Australian deliveries were unreliable. The MWU are already demanding an $80,000 increase for a seaman.

  • tThe remark " work harder " is ABSOLUTELY offensive to me ...He remains missing in action for weeks ; SAYS nothing about Copenhagen fiasco , DOES nothing about the illegal boat people , has SPENT in a most frivolous fashion , the inheritence of our country and then blithely sticks his head up , spouts at us to work harder and bobs out of sight again.....I wonder how many regret their 2007 decision ??????The mans' record spoke for itself but not enough listened ....at LEAST 2 generations will be paying for the latest Labor madness..
