Yes Indi, it all comes back to the system they call, a democracy, when in fact, we don't really have a democracy, other than the one minute or so it takes one to cast their vote, as once cast, democracy if done and dusted for another term.

The bottom line is, labor governments (federal and Qld at least) have made monumental stuff ups, costing us billions, and, other than our minute of freedom on polling day, we have been powerless to do anything to save what is rightfully OURS.

Now as if that isn't bad enough, they (federal labor) have committed billions in an ongoing manner,(illegals) that will take generations to repay (if ever), not to mention put strain on our future services, paid for by OUR TAXES, yet here we have unions singing their praises, when in actual fact they (unions) should be shamefully embarested to think they have openly pledged their support for these incompitent fools.

As I say, unions just can't bring themselves to the thought that perhaps there is a better alternative, one that ACTUALLY WORKED for more than a decade, simply because they have always been, and will always remain ONE EYED.

Rechtub,

I was laughing my head off at the new depths of silliness you managed to plumb in your last two posts.

And then I came to your last line.

You, rechtub, the hater of the Left; the person who insists that every single thing wrong with Australia is the fault of Labor; you who refuse to acknowledge that Labor gas ever done a single good thing; you call others 'one eyed'.

I love it. I absolutely love it. Haven't laughed so hard in quite a while.

Ah, hypocrisy, verily, thy name is rechtub.

Anthonyve !

You can laugh as much as you like AFTER you have ANSWERED several questions put to you.
rehctub answers. Why ? because he has answers, you don't answer because you don't have any but you're invited to prove us wrong any time.

Oh dear, Indi,

I'll try to talk slow and use little words for you.

First, the question you've posed is pointless and has no bearing on the topic, because public service salaries are not - in the specific - set by governments of either persuasion.

To give you an example,You asked me what I thought should be, from memory, a fair wage ceiling for senior bureacrats?

And you keep demanding that I answer.

Okay, I'll humour you and do so.

The answer to your question would depend on the level of responsibility associated with the function; the level of qualifications and experience associated with the position, together with an assessment of the 'going rate'.

Unless one knows the answer to those questions, which would require that you specify the functional position that you are asking about, then there is no answer to your question.

Hence my earlier assessment that your question is stupid. And to bang on, demanding an answer to a question for which there is no possible answer is..... well, I'll leave you to fill in the blank.

And then, in a masterful demonstration of your intellectual limitations, you use my words back at me, as though you were contributing something meaningful to the debate.

If you can't go for an intelligent contribution, at least do try to be original.

Anthonyve,
ok I shall give you something that even a git should comprehend. No-one on the public payroll should be on more than $250 Grand a year in the present economics. Anyone wanting a higher salary should exercise their talent in the private sector & prove themselves without taxpayer backing.
I find it so offending that a Council CEO should be on $6000/fortnight, the several EO's on $5000/fortnight add to that excessive travel/allowances whilst the everyday workings are falling into a heap.
That is what our region inherited from Labor. I think it is morally as wrong as it can get & I denounce anyone supporting it. It would be a different story if the constituency were riding economically high but that isn't the case at all.
So, Anthony what do you think a mismanaging CEO should be paid ? You can use words as little as you like as long as they amount to an answer. I'm sure other OLO'ers would like to know how an expert like yourself would set wages.
You say they should depend on the level of responsibility associated with the function; the level of qualifications and experience associated with the position, together with an assessment of the 'going rate'. Well, the wages I outlined above are paid to people who don't appear to have any of the qualifications you list & they still get the money.

Bit of flooding around here, not sure I could get in to town till today.
Went ok, just, radio national, my favorite had a breif talk about our new found love of twitters face book and such.
The theme was what can you tell about the folk we speak to.
Already armed with the understanding, it may not be even near right, bought about by ham radio contacts and even earlier CB radio, I listened.
It got to a few, self lovers, self consumed, and the purely dangerous, believe me we have them all or had them.
Nothing is to be gained by openly saying who is what.
But an awareness, we should wear like a coat of armor, be aware.
Indy will have no trouble warning of ANY ONE, who votes or is Labor.
If he could have his wish?
Nothing less than 45% of this country,s folk would disapear over night, see he names us maggots.
But it is not his fault, its the best he can do.
