Something does have to change, Our productivity is nothing but poo and it takes us FOREVER to build anything.

exactly but who are deadset against CHANGE??..

building cannot be sent off shore...

but look whats happened to just about everything else.... we are a small fish in a big pond.. not the other way around..we have to compete.

Cods, darling -any time you wish to compete fairly and have your pension on the same level as Grabasinghe Mahomad Li the fiel' han', just let Uncle Tony and the Toecutters know.....

We're here to save what is left of Australia - and these ghetts are not doing the job. That's why we're here!

So you reckon Stavros Luigi Obead should be entitled to set up a company, do buggar all, and make billions - and make more by cutting back on payments to workers and on safe conditions?

Let the bosses take up a shovel and stand a watch - that'll shut 'em up!

It's all way too weighted in favour of the bosses here - and wide open to abuse, corruption and exploitation - and you want to make it worse?

The corporate pirates here are making off with billions while Tony cries over Black Holes and threatens pensioners with starvation and poverty and homelessness.

Get a grip! if they want to earn the money by doing a bludge job at the top - they can step aside and let others on the ladder make a living.

Otherwise GTF off the ladder and stop weighing it down!

Save whats left? Please explain to be why it takes workers (backed by Unions) almost 6 months to build a roundabout? compared to a week in China?

Im blaming Unions for this mess

You must be talking about council workers... or government workers. we had contractors in at a place where I worked and they had a whole yard resurfaced and tarred over in two days...

The same government that beats the chest about beating up on Unions does no such thing with its own comfy darlings on the gangs.... it's all right to carry on about workers that other people pay for - but when it's their own they would never chance an accident or anything like overwork.

This is all for public consumption and to pursue an agenda - and consumption is a good word for it...

Nothing to do with work - all to do with beating the Unions down and ensuring more profits for their mates.

Senator Abetz said the code, which he promised to release “relatively shortly”, would seek to prevent employers getting commonwealth work if they struck workplace agreements with “restrictive” work practices. OP.

“relatively shortly”......After the WA election??

“restrictive”....Who gets to define “restrictive” ???

Isn't this whole concept a form of blackmail?
Seems to follow on from Howard's 'carrot and stick' policy.

You get the carrot only after you get beaten with the stick.....
