Internet scrolling then, eh!

Of course you are... You haven't worked in decades and never in an office.

Labor don't run banks ? The Commonwealth Bank was privatised in 1991. One of the stupidest government decisions ever made.

you know there is something wrong with you, right?

The studies show no conclusive outcomes for productivity - read them... there is NO validated increased productivity.  Your personal experience depends on your work.  Yours was hands on - nothing to do with a permanent office job.  Cheating is not allowed.

The traffic could hardly be any worse.... the banks already pay full rates to those who already come to work - why would they pay extra to those coming back who've been receiving the same rates all the time they've worked at home?

More likely there will be a divisive wage claim by those who DO work in the office - to cover their lost opportunity to not expend that money getting to work.  They feel - rightly - that they should be on the same net income after costs of work as those working from home who spend far less.... and that will cover costs of childcare as well. 

More chasms in this country over money - perfect weather for a coming despotic government of the Nazi Left.

They've pushed the milquetoast right out of the way - now it's plain sailing towards their Nirvana of a despotism of their chosen minority over all others.

I TOLD YOU SO!  65.5% of the voting public voted NO to New Labor - Labor romped in with ninety seats. Tell me that's not rigged.

"Not Rigged. New Labor - is there any such thing? "  It's the title I designer built for Labour after they removed U from it - becoming Labor - which still held to some of its principles - as Gnads and I will testify - but then become something completely different - a party that imposed on the people instead of working for them = New Labor, the party of the genuine Neo-Fascists - the New Fascists intent on imposition by their elitist minority over the majority.

"Elections are not yes / no votes ? "   That is precisely why - in this clear case - our system was shown to be fatally flawed in that it delivers what they believe to be a mandate to a minority ...  a minority that drew fewer votes than the Nazis in Germany in 1932, when, significantly, they could not form government.  The clear will of the people is not in any way reflected in the outcome, and that, to me and a few others, is anathema to any democracy.

It seems we must first ditch the 'preferential voting' system, wherein mysterious deals can be done behind the backs of voters to end up giving to those they voted down, a vote not intended for them.  It should not count that 'minor groups' would 'receive no representation' without 'preferential voting' - the rights of all minor groups and individuals are - theoretically at least - protected under law (watch that closely) - and they have the same rights as any other individual to lobby government and opposition etc.  Therefore their rights are protected, and their special interests receive at least the same attention as the interests of anyone else who has a grievance with 'City Hall'.  On top of that - it is VERY often the case that the special interests of such groups/individuals are already part of the unspoken platform of parties - the issues they do not campaign on but which are important socially or economically - and therefore - they do not NEED extra treatment via preferencing.

Preferencing removes from the ordinary voter the POWER of his or her individual vote to accept or reject a candidate of his or her preference, and replaces that inalienable right with some mythical and cloudy 'right' of candidates to do deals and literally create the Anointed One out of thin air.

On top of that - the current approach is unwieldy, given the absolute predominance of numbers in the larger cities - and thus - rather than a Senate to protect States' Rights being drawn from the same groups statewide, and thus creating imbalance in favour of the major centres - the States we currently possess should be split up into more manageable and more compatible with all local interests pieces - New States.

To that end I recommend we move to a system similar to the American one - of two Senators from Manageable States - so as to preclude absolute dominance and control over our two Houses by the same types and groups - namely - the major population centres - which do not share the interests and concerns of most of the rest.

I thank the assembled Members for this opportunity to formulate my policy on this set of issues - which I will be bringing to campaign for the next Federal Election...

Several recent studies have found that working from home increases employee productivity by as much as 22%. Fewer distractions, less unnecessary meetings, and eliminated commutes contribute to remote work’s productivity gains. Studies on productivity have also linked worker happiness with increases in productivity and have identified flexible working hours as a positive factor in worker productivity at home.
