Enough said!

It seems to me that the new WorkChoices laws are just another wedge hammered into Australia's social fabric. Surely the government should be trying to encourage employees rather that introducing laws that give unreasonable powers to employers. These laws have quite rightly enormously bolstered support for the union movement. Removing the right to bargain collectively and making employees negotiate individual contract will put many employees at a real disadvantage. Are we really living in 'the lucky country'? I used to think so. Australia has so much going for it, but I feel that the ship is being steered in the wrong direction.
