Great work of fiction, well done.

Communicat, while I share your frustration at the dearth of reasoned debate, I'm afraid that when anybody comes out with something so overblown and one-eyed to begin with, well, they can expect a response in kind!

Felicity has done the equivalent of getting up on open mic night at the stand-up comedy club. The response is predictable.

And on that note, here's my tomatoes:

Instead of choosing to be a Liberal Party propagandist, it's a pity that Felicity didn't follow the good example of my step-sister, who put her prestigious Tara education to better use by opening a pole-dancing studio.

Had she done so, Felicity would have found that the money is cleaner, the work more satisfying, and the profession much more respectable than the one she has chosen.

The article makes a lot of sense.

Communicat, interesting I should find myself knowing that what you say may be true, my life says it is so.
I like many others have met good people a lot of whom perhaps are immigrants. or have other "disabilities", like can't express them selves well. This is the area that most concerns me with your post, I was an employer and found that a limit set thru circumstance has great variety.
Empathy, compassion has little reward in a profit motivated society so we need to protect the vulnerable.
These base objectives are a fair society, makes who we are. No one suffers, smarts do what they has always done, do better.

Well i dont care for either labor or liberal.

How did we get here, by the blind obsesion of voting for a party and not someone who will stand up for you or the electorate.

These party's have only one goal themselves.

Oh and greg combet has said that awa's are good.
You will also find that dear ole ruddy has been saying to make sure awa's are right for five years,realy looking after the workers.

Just like before the state elction , i was emailing unions,newspapers,radio and tv and did they care that the public transport system was going to be privatised, no .

This tells who they are their for and that is to either get liberals in or get labor in and all you are to them is the $2.40 that they will get when they get 4% of the primary vote, nothing more.

With me running as an independent i couldnt give a rats about the money, i am running for what is important and thats the people.

As an old cockie who never worked for anyone much except his slave-driving old-man as a kid, often heard talk about the boss always having the big-end of the stick as far as choice was concerned.

Now it seems with unions neutered the boss really has got back the big end of the stick, with work choices really not having any guarantee except pure faith in someone's master that the choice can be guaranteed.

So thus the question now is, what has happened to arbitration, part of a country's law system in a democracy that a worker at least can appeal to with unions now being regarded by the growing corporate culture as just unnecessary human garbage.

Certainly it seems that with today's employer-employee relations, decency and democracy have been chucked out the window and replaced by a faith that long ago was replaced by intelligent reasoning anyhow.
