Unions are needed or else we have soles like coles.

Unions are needed
Riely,
Not the ones that cause the demise of jobs though ! We need unions that ensure fair remuneration for fair effort, not the ones that demand unwarranted pay rates that drive up costs ! We need Unions that keep the economy in mind not just the interests of selfish groups !
I'm sure those 400 or 600 restaurant workers that lost their jobs recently, would rather have had a small increase in their wage in favour of being now unemployed ! Restaurant patrons aren't prepared to pay double for a meal on weekends so why should the hospitality workers get more ?
Why are we driving imported cars ? Because union demands made locally produced vehicles unaffordable ! Don't these moron Unionists realise that as soon as they achieve a payrise for some, the prices have to go up for all ?

You don't think the man at the top is taking too much. The joker you are talking about charges 300 $ / plate and has millions. He then forgoes the proper wages for his staff.

Over the years I drove all the Holden models and it was not until the advent of the Commodore (Opel) that a decent one came along.
I well remember when the Australian Army was saddled with Holden utes and Staff cars simply because they were Australian made; they were eminently unsuitable for the job and a dangerous vehicle into the bargain.

The name Holden should be read in the context of Australian industry, not simply one brand.
Because, what happened to Holden is happening to all manufacturing industry here.
And, the people who are causing this dreadful situation are safely tucked away in their comfort zone, funded by their victims !

I suppose the same thing would happen to the renewables scam if billions of dollars of tax payer money and much higher electricity prices came to an end.
