Indi,
Here's a perfect example of what I mean when I say that you and rechtub confuse opinion with fact.
You assert that some person or other is worth no more than 250K/annum.
But:
> You have not read his/her position description and so have no knowledge of what he/she does;
> You have not read his/her CV and so have no idea of what he/she brings to the table;
> You have no idea of what his/her responsibilities are;
> You have no clue as to what competing positions are offering.
Yet you assert your factless opinion as though it were a fact.
I think you're just bitter because there's someone - actually, I suspect, an almost infinite number of someones - out there doing better than you.
You shouldn't be surprised.

You have no idea of what his/her responsibilities are;
Ah, Anthonyve,
now we're making some headway. I was wondering how long it'd be before we get to this point, took a while but we did get there. My whole argument is about just that, qualifications. CEO, EO, office staff all have CV's loaded with so-called qualifications. That's what got them the job. What those qualifications don't do is translate into competence & effective managing. Some of our labourers are effecting modifications that not even our highly qualified engineers could manage. Our budgets are shot to pieces by those highly qualified people.
Their responsiblities include accountability but they're not achieving any of it yet they still get the money. How, you ask ? I think you know the answer to that already. It's because their peers gave them Labor Government sanctioned contracts which stipulate that they do their 5 year terms no matter what. They can't be sacked & they can't resign. In other words the whole maggotting outfit is looking after each other because even though maggots only crawl they can still suffer the domino effect. For that not to happen needs a network of taxpayer funded bureaucrats leaning together for strength. There you have it.

Nothing less than 45% of this country,s folk would disapear over night,
Belly,
no not disappear, just wake up. Imagine knowing that suddenly it's all worthwhile doing something good for all rather than just be part of a group that only thinks of themselves.

Anton, the real problem we face is that the majority of our politicians are picked from what the corporate world rejected, or, they themselves were simply not up to the standard required to be a top order corporate success, with some of the reason being that they would be accountable for their actions, in the real world, and let's face it, even the likes of you must agree that some of our politicians would have been charged with gross negligence, perhaps even served time if in the real world.

They are in many circumstances, a joke, only the jokes on us, those who didn't vote them in, and the likes of the unions that continue to offer their unconditional support.

I simply can't imagine ANY CEO/company director that wouldn't have faced at least alleged charged of gross negligence, leading to death, had they overseen the insulation project as did Peter Garret.

I am afraid it's a bad case of rules for them, and rules for us.

So I ask you, why is it the unions continue with their unconditional support of this type of gross incompetence.

Furthermore, had a CEO/ company director been at the wheel, he would be lucky to be emptying the bins, let alone shifted to education.

One can only assume this role is regarded by labor, AS LESS IMPORTANT.

Indi, let me say again, for the third time, you are presenting your opinion based on zero facts, zero data, as though it was worth someting.
Do some research, gather some data, and then your opinions might be worth reading
As it is...

Rechtub,
I'll give you this, at least you're consistant.
Unfortunately consistantly wrong.
Here you will find the facts about the pink batts situtation.

Isn't it amazing what you discover when you get some research done for you, as you clearly can't be bothered doing research yourself.
After all, you mustn't let a few facts change your one eyed point of view would you.
