OK, that came across snotty and I didn't mean it to.
No point in starting another Aussie politics thread!
What I don't like about Howard's proposed IR "reforms" is the simple fact that it introduces a two tier system. I work for a large company. My wife works for a small company. If we both get sacked "unfairly", then I can take them to court, but my wife cannot. Why? Simply based upon the size of her employer.
No matter how you frame it, that's unfair. There's no escaping that fact.
Plus, and according to everything (and I mean everything I've read, including pro government papers), there is NO evidence that diluting IR law will result in more jobs.
What Howard is doing, once again, is rewarding the rich to penalize the poor.
