The SDA was ruled by a ruthless the Dutchman Joe de Bruyn who opposed anything progressive, like same sex marriage. As Whitlam once joked about De Bruyn "Joe de Bruyn is a Dutchman who hates dykes." Considering the age and views of the people who would join (or forced) to join that union, its leadership was well out of step. The SDA was the only union not to be investigated by Abbott's

So now that businesses can afford to open on Sundays, we'll have a lot more people out shopping right? With all that money they don't have... Wait, I'm confused. No! More people will be employed because businesses can be open on Sundays, so there will be more business. Though... one day of pay isn't really enough to get by on, especially with the new pay rates... and they're at work so how can they shop. And the people who had been working and now aren't because it's not worth it probably can't afford the bus ticket to get to the shops. I'm really happy my local florist and women's sports wear stores will be open one more day a week now, especially with how I never see anyone in there anyway. This is great news. Those small business owners who take sunday off for a break can finally live the dream and work 7 days a week because they can pay themselves a lower rate. This is stupid and makes my head hurt.

At least I dig a hole: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-02-23/man-with-bill-shorten-decrying-penalty-rate-cuts-alp-member/8298334 quote:<snip>"I rely on Sunday penalty rates. I am rostered on every single Sunday. "I will now lose $109 a week, that is insane. I rely on the penalty rates to make ends meet and to pay for my fuel, my rent and to pay for my food." Supermarket giant Coles contacted the ABC on Thursday afternoon to say Mr Hunter was one of their employees. "Store team members at Coles are employed under an enterprise agreement and therefore are unaffected by today's decision."<snip> I don't know what is sadder here. You have to marvel at the sheer incompetence of selecting someone who is in Trent's position when there are so many other actually effected candidates available. On the other hand: the reason he is a liar is that he has already been hosed over by our good old mates http://www.sda.org.au/resources/enterprise-agreements/ . Whoever is running Shorten's PR team (Ryan Liddell is his Deputy Chief of Staff - Communications - source http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/federal-election-2016/shorten-shifts-to-permanent-campaign-mode-20160712-gq43t6.html) is clown tier. This makes it even more suspicious that Shorten was given the high profile soft serve on Ten's panel with Joe Hildebrand, Jono and the whole 'wacky' cast of public image king makers(Studio 10).

Many others have made the observation, but for the RBA to say it, is a big deal. The RBA knows the economy is still fragile. It needs more stimulation; to drive growth, get wages up and push unemployment down. But the RBA doesn't want to cut interest rates further because it will just throw more fuel on property prices which are already growing at eye-watering levels in the pacific rim cities — at a time when wages growth is at record lows.<snip> And the bucketting keeps coming: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-02-23/former-treasury-head-ken-henry-attacks-political-system/8296692 quote:<snip>"Every government proposal of the last 10 years to reform the tax system has failed." The constant political brawl meant considered, long-term recommendations on fiscal, economic growth and environmental challenges were ignored. "The reform narrative of an earlier period has been buried by the language of fear and anger. It doesn't seek to explain; rather, it seeks to confuse and frighten."<snip>

In regards to the question about why the SDA is so bad, it's not just their conservatism but the fact they do a really bad job of representing their workers. They accept EBAs with poor conditions in honour to maintain nice relations with employers. This article is great: http://www.smh.com.au/business/work...518-goycw5.html As for the story that Trent isn't affected by the penalty rates change, wow you guys are dense. He is on a rolled up base rate in his EBA to compensate for penalty rates. If penalty rates are lowered, when the pay rates are renegotiated, that rolled up rate will go down because there'll be less to compensate for and pass the better off overall test. He is affected.

I can't speak for all people under SDA agreements, but mine has penalty rates capped at time and a half, or in other words, exactly the same thing everyone is getting pissed at is already standard practice as negotiated by one of the biggest unions in the country. They really are that poo poo.
