Rstuart,

If you had bothered to follow the track of IR laws you would realise that the UFD laws had been implemented under labor. The election of the liberal gov in late 1996 began to remove the more toxic implications of these laws with AWAs etc.

In the years prior to 1996 under labor the unemployment steadily increased. From 1996 to 2008 unemployment steadily decreased due to the business friendly environment put in place by the liberal gov.

The study was an analysis of existing legislation and its impact on the business environment.

As you are skeptical of anything that disagrees with your view point, I invite you to provide even one independent article that shows that UFD increases employment.

Perhaps you could try not to edit their quotes either.
