Unfortunately the same issues exist today - most tenants in rental properties are complete and utter deplorable grubs and they have gotten worse since ‘back in your day’. And the taxman takes an even bigger chunk out of your wage now than ‘back then’, when you include all the hidden taxes. After all, the Government wants us all to be self supported/not rely on Government handouts as we get older and retire, yet they pillage and rape us financially on our journey to retirement as self funded pensioners. Unless of course you are a politician, then life is merry and wealth is easy to accumulate.

Deadset w**ker.
An article by Kevin Rudd, in The Guardian, arguing that the ABC is not biased???

Ha ha. And there you have it! Shelve your emotions, I didn’t say ‘every’ tenant, and no mate, I worked hard to get where I am today, never had a family member, rich relative or gold lotto to help me. No silver spoons in my top drawer.

Right I must be a grub hey? Because I want to live close to work yet cant afford to buy yet! Yet here I am using my trade to always fix up my landlords property for mates rates or free... and keep it cleaner than when he lived in it. Yep we are all grubs...
you are clearly a pratt!
The fact that your a kiwi, clearly proves your a grub! Tired of listening to you grubs on the West Island!

Tsk tsk now the nationalistic card gets drawn. I didn’t say every tenant was a grub, but the good ones are a minority. And I didn’t say that you as an individual were a grub either, yet you labelled me as a grub because I’m a Kiwi and you included a rant about the West Island. What a piece of work you are junior.

Nothing new in this documentary. However it does go to show why we need IR reform and maybe why AJ is worried about the current government’s Jobs Summit and possible introduction of multi-employer bargaining
Time to roll out some new aboriginal color schemes, aboriginal aircraft names and a First Australians employment and training program. Burrow into Australias society like a cattle tick.
That’s the Qantas way; When we want something from Government, it’s “We are the nations flag carrier - as uniquely Australian and warm and fuzzy as a koala - protect us!; However when it suits them it’s “we are an international company competing in a tough market - staff must be internationally competitive - eff off!”
The result? “Internationally competitive” crappy working conditions but “uniquely Australian” stratospheric ticket prices.
Qantas is a blight on the Australian economy because it sucks way too much money out of tourism and business travel industries.
P.S. To Ita and the ABC Board, I guess you didn’t need that Chairman’s lounge membership any more.

While I hate to echo Joyce "Virgin are as bad as us", fact is the Chairman's Lounge was a copy of the Ansett Executive Lounge, Virgin's 'The Club' was a completely over-hyped version of the same thing. All airlines chase political patronage, for goodness sake, ZL got $180M during COVID that no other airline got because it cried poor about it's regional network then went straight out and spent the money on 737s. If the government had any balls it would have demanded the money back. I'm not talking about JobKeeper and fee forgiveness (airport fees, etc.) as all airlines got them. ZL did what they did and got that money, purely by using their political connections with their Deputy Chair being the former President of the National Party.
ALL journalists make mistakes, Jesus, how many times has Murdoch and his dirty little gossip rag the Telegraph been dragged through the courts, not to mention 9, 7 and 10 (the latter who doesn't really produce news, just sponsored puff pieces).
4 Corners is the premier investigative program in this country, it has done much good over the years. There was no exaggeration in their program on the bastardry toward Witness K, Bernard and what we did to the East Timorese.
There is an argument to be made that ceaseless bullying and threats from the previous government have, at times, led to mistakes because the ABC has a quarter of the resources that it had previously. Thanks to the LNP, they can't even afford to caption programs anymore, using a stupid 'AI' generator that gets half the words wrong.
It's ironic, in corporate terms they are similar to Qantas, in Qantas' case, greedy management is stripping the company bare and in the ABC's case, it's been a government so upstanding that it's leader secretly held half the portfolios in his Cabinet (well, most of the important ones anyway).
