Hanson sides with the privileged on penalty rates : Comments

By John Slater, published 30/3/2017

This backflip exposes that in substance, Pauline Hanson and One Nation are less of a new home for disenfranchised True Conservatives than a weathervane for populist, misinformed grievance.

It must really irk John Slater that Pauline Hanson is doing better? Doing the big dummy spit Johnny does not help you mate. It shows you think a tantrum from you counts, it does not. Labour especially are not the workers friend. Reducing wages and taking bribes is disgusting. Bill Shorten take a bow but you know this.
The workers who will never get a better job than burger flipping are ill-served. The small business owners who put the house up to make a quid are hated by you and the big end of town who you are helping. The big companies are only happy with franchisees who they can take for every dollar they have.
This is the way the world works, PHON will use whatever to harvest votes and you blokes are going to have to live with it!

Ok then. So the solution is to dissallow the trading off of weekend penalty rates across the board. That'd level the playing field.

Pauline's doing what a representative's supposed to do. Listening to constituents.
That's how democracy's supposed to work.

is this article about the hatred for Hanson or the fact that she listened and then changed her mind?

Runner it is about Pauline Hanson learning lessons and adapting to get more votes.
Gee wouldn't it be lovely if some other leaders followed this lead?

The difficulty for Hanson, given she sides with the 'battlers' (aka 'populism'), is the existance of employee (sometimes unionised) battlers as opposed to employer (often self-employed small business) battlers. It's a juggling act for her.
