Pay needs to reflect effort & outcome !
Paying huge salaries for nothing in return is about as stupid as it can get and, we have that now !
And, it's those people who perpetually bleat equality who are mostly on that kind of payroll.
That's why they're in the Public Service under the Peter Principle ! They're the ones preventing others from benefitting from hard work !
Unions demand that under-performers can't be dismissed !

hear hear individual, could not agree more

Yes Individual, in large cities bludgers don't have to mix with those they bludge on in their leisure time. In smaller communicates the bludger is soon well known to all.

That was one thing I loved about the resort island life, where you lived with those you worked with. The bludger was quickly recognised, & in not overt ways was made unwelcome.

When on the odd occasion you employed one, you did not have to worry about unfair dismissal laws, the staff soon moved them on.

I'm watching Insiders right now & I'm just blown away by the blatant anti Govt, pro Labor stance by all the ABC commentators !
Talk about wasting our Taxes !

individual,
Unfortunately any attempt to talk about wasting our taxes is seen by you, and indeed many others on this board, as a blatant anti Govt, pro Labor stance!

Aidan,
Well, the ABC talking about wasting taxes is the height of hypocrisy ! Why don't they give us the figures on how much is wasted on keeping the Leftist saboteurs from ruining all ?
Much of the incompetence is actually sabotage by Labor orientated bureaucrats & then they point the finger at the Govt.
Are you one of them ? Sounds like it !
