Well its 2030! I made it never thought I would.
Sitting on the veranda in my rocker and remembering my 10,000 post in OLO.
It was to old rechtub, still complains about wast in his retirement village.
We spoke about Bill Shortens 5th win, he is the longest ever PM now plus his taking over from JG mid term.
We still buy shoes and socks most things from over seas.
But we lead the world still in exporting food minerals and tourism brings big money.
All our meat is sausages now, every thing from road kill to deer is in them, some things never change.
Heard Tony Abbott ran third in the old fellas marathon, he sells papers on the corner of king street for a living.
Turnbull rebuilt the Liberals, shame he handed it over to Joe Hockeys son.
Give my chair a push young fella

Belly, I bit of humor, I like it.

Well I can see you sitting there, from my perch, high on the hill peeping over my 8 ft perimiter fence, guarded by six rotties to keep the unruly out.

Boy that investment 30 years ago in the gas field sure has paid off.

Well, i'd best be going off to play golf now, but it's a real hastle having to go by boat, but, that's what happens when years of labor governments, both federal and state simply would not listen and wasted all our money. So they can't even afford to maintain the roads anymore. At $100 per hour for the guy/girl who holds the stop/go sign, what did they expect. Those trees that are blocking your view belly are where the road was. Can you believe that.

BTW, those busses that you see parked along the way, well, don't try to catch one as they are where the homeless live, thousands of them 'hot bedding'. Don't know where they go when they arn't sleeping, it's not as if they go off to work!

Continued casue it's fun.

Belly that big building over to your right, well, that has all the IT geeks in it, but, despite them having access to the NBN, we simply can't compete with the likes of china and india anymore, so they just use the NBN to play computer games with each other. Shame, but hey, we treied to tell them that IR laws would ruin this country, but what would we know. After all, we are just the 'job creators', the 'risk takers', but as usual, what would we know.

They went off and increased the rights of the workers,time and time again, only the workers though.

They forgot the basic rule of business. You must pay equal attention to all four legs of the table.

The employer, the employee, the product and the consumer. They forgot the employer and the consumer, can you believe that! How dumb!

Anyway, have to go now, I can hear the black halk approaching with my supplies for the next day or so.

BTW, I hope you enjoy that can of soup yor're about the have. Not sure where it came from. The first lable says made in aus, the second says, product of NZ, the third china, sorry, can't even recognise the fourth.

Cheers

rechtub the sausage king telling me how well of he is again,
Then trying to tell me how workers rights will break this country, love it.
Not a tin of soup mate I grow my own its vegy soup see a mate of mine about 2010 turned me into a vegetarian, oh, yes that was you!
Doctor saw me yesterday via the NBN said I could live to be 100.
Bet if your computer had been your cash register you could do more than play games on it.
Did the Broncs make the finals?
Took a long time to get over the salary cap breach in 2011 but may make it next year.

Good to see we are still mates, I appreciate that.

Nbn, this is also what the 'super clinics' is all about hey, we will just 'look' and make a jugement call, after all, it's all about seeing how many we can squeese into that 15 minute consultaion period, hey! Patients per hour, means dollars per hour, means doctors getting richer while patients getting less for thier dollars as 'super clinics' are all about 'bums on seats', little else.

Now as for the Broncos, well, what can I say, other than we are blooding a new side and happened to just miss the finals for the first time in 19 years. Better luck next year.

Now, if you get a chance, please tell Wayne, that he has to make it clear to the saints that they havn't won yet, as last year they forgot there was a final series before they could be crowned premiers.

Go the titans!

BTW, I don't oppose workers rights, just any inbalance that occurrs, either way.

Remember, wages, like any other business expense comes from two things.

Risk, and profits. Nothing else!

Place to much presure on either and you risk jobs.

Are you aware that the only tradies, of any real number, really doing well at the moment are those working on government projects?

That speaks volumes for me and sends clear warning signs for the future.

rechtub we are mates.
Look my brother, the one who gets my home, is a Liberal voter follows Manly,knows nothing about politics, but is my mate.
You may not think this is true, it is, manager of a massive firm, contacted me,we need to do a three year agreement he said.
Put 5% a year pay rise on the table, without being asked.
Said he knew the GFC had seen pegged wages and hard times.
Spoke openly about trained workers, workers he had trained and invested in , Going to the other big producer of his product.
Who gets the blame here, market forces bloke.
Those Traffic controllers you dislike, you make me blush, very proud of that one.
In your state these CASUAL workers had been paid less than full time laborers.
Often, almost always insured as and paid as security workers, its cheaper and lower wages.
NOW WITH pride they get very good CASUAL wages no holidays sick leave nothing but paid? to the national standards
Rechtub, just maybe they can eat a better cut of meat even some of those road kill snags with the extra income.
what gos around comes around.
by the year 2030 you may understand consumers spend wages not buy second homes.
