Never forget they are Julia's IR rules. She re-wrote Howard's rules.
Clotted, IMHO, that would have to be one of the most ignorant statements I've seen on pprune.
Were you around during Work Choices ?, did you work under an AWA Mk1 ?.
Let me tell you first hand, the present system is not without some short comings, which will evolve in time, but Work Choices was plain evil.
There is always need to be balance between the left and the right, Julia/Kevin07 are pretty close to balanced.
Little Johnny / Abbott, are not anywhere near balanced, its in their DNA ( plus any guy that would wear budgie smugglers anywhere other than a gay bar is not real smart in my eyes ).
