TarynW, yep ... Belly is on a trip ... off the planet if you ask me. I voted Labor and share his exuberance, I definitley don't share his views. I think he should, as previously said, "put a sock in it" - you know, shut the %$&* up!

Belly is doing more harm than good to his, in his mind, 'cause'. Raising the hate stakes seems to be his agenda, the fool.

Rudd is more concillatory than Belly realises, and very much understands the difficulties faced by small business.

We can all cringe at remarks like Belly's, and I can empathise for your family and Rudd alike.

Q and A
Thanks. I hope yur right. My Dad will loose his business if they change much more.

We are all very worried about it.

Kevin Rudd is an unknown but I know he isnt strong.

He couldnt even stand up to Peter Beattie up here about the council amalgimation.

My family were for it and thought Peter Beattie was right btw.

Thats not the point however.

The point is if Rudd culdnt stand up to one of hs wn local State guys how on earth is he ever going to stand up to some of these old union bullys.

We got a letter through our family business. Well an email actually before the elections.

We were encrgared to vote ALP with a added promise- Dont worry once we are in we will get rid of Rudd.

See what I mean.

If they are going to back stab him and push him aside it could be worse .

All I know about Rudd is he has a weak handshake and soft loose mouth.
Not a strong look for a PM.

I notice he didnt give Kerry Obrien the agriculture port folio after Kerry going on Land Line making certain statements that they would look at stopping live exports.

So I guess that means he can now say the new bloke doesnt agree with Kerry.
Thats a dirty trick after thousands voted for ALP because of what Kerry said on land Line
I bet you its all changed now!!

How can Taryn employ people and not know the LAWFUL rates of pay she must pay.
That EVEN UNDER WORKCHOICES it is the law to pay casual loading.
Communicat is no fool fixed and one sided yes but understands surely Howard's safety net was put in place because of the great and real damage bosses miss using it did.
In the next 6 months LABOR in government will uncover thousands of cases of miss use and underpayments'
Now my friend if you ever speak in public to me like that you will instantly regret it, my thread is not about controlling the party I have been a member of longer than you have been alive.
It is about announcing loud and clear workers do not want hand outs or more than a fair share.
They have of late been victims of a wish to be internationally competitive in world trade.
That some Australians need not be victims so other can be rich is not un Australian.
The last few posts are reminding me why we had to win why middle Australia including ex Liberal voters agreed.
But to say unions who gave birth, they did you know to the Labor party are filth for lobbying them? idiotic, that asking not to be forgotten is wrong?
Rudd thankfully is the man he appears we unionists are after all Australians and he will govern for all of us.
To spew hate here does some posters no credit.
I no longer place any value on Taryn w posts.
One last thing ,good poster read others posts in time get an understanding of them and the directions they come from.
Other constantly have to say sorry I got it wrong.
Those who know me understand my view on unions is some are well past use by date, other must change or die , death more likely than change.
But if you do not know a difference exists you should stay away from the subject.

Hey Belly
Do the unions have a fine system for when the poor workers bludge on the boss? The fine funds going to Dad of curse.
D they walk in a kick workers up the bum for sitting around talking instead of wrking? Are they even fair?
If my Dads staff take an extra half an hour lunch everyday and ten minutes a morning tea- What do you think is ging to happen to Dads business and everybdies jobs huh?
So if Dad find bludgers and liers on his staff why shouldnt he be able to say- See u llater aligator
Its the same as stealing.
You never mentioned Kerry Obrien. Do you think thats fair play to put ALP up as having a ceratain policy and attitude towards one of our biggest problems and then boot him AFTER everybody voted for either the greens or ALP because of thise plocies which were aired all over Land Line newspapers and radio?
Isnt that lying to the pubic?
Isnt it a dirty trick.
I dont even have to wait to bne told the new Mininster Tony doesnt agree with Kerry Obrien.
Want to place a bet on it Belly?

The CFMEU came on a building site on Friday and under the pretext of safety stopped a crew of tradesmen from working for 3 hours. It took the boss 3 hours to get these creeps to read his SWMS and look at his records of Consultation eg Toolbox talks, Risk Assessments and for him to demonstrate that he was operating within WorkCover requirements.

For this 30 yo employer thats $500 in wages without production he will never see again. Thats 1 mortgage repayment, or Xmas presents for his kids gone.

Employers should have the right to sue the CFMEU for unjust loss of money.

If you read my posts you pamilest will find that is not my union.
And you may just understand a difference exists.
If I found or was informed of a safety problem here is how I would fix it.
Talk to site safe man, ask questions
is any worker at risk?
Answer yes remove them to lunch rooms ASAP while inspecting the problem.
Answer no
Ask can you and I take a look?
Work to continue unless danger exists while inspection takes place.
No lies threats or miss use of right of entry.
If no issue exists say thanks and leave.
Taryn w you are being foolish, why is it so many members of pale seem to share the one personality?
Non performers are your business not mine! sack them if you must but remember it is not my job to do it for you!
What would you say, fairdinkum , if I walked into your business and told workers how to work.
However can you imagine a boss saying Belly can you come down for a talk? I need to tell a couple to pull their socks up and think they may listen if you are there.
Well you better believe it it happens often, most times improvements make every one happy.
A boss must be a boss.
