Yeah, aside from being a neoliberal shithead the guy that ran the place was racist too. We stopped going there after a friend of mine gave him a serve, and this was before his complaining about wages. When we saw that pop up we were already boycotting the place.

Cpt Soban posted:And that is how you run a small business- Treat your employees as a TEAM MEMBER, and reward them for doing a good job. Not only is it easy as gently caress to do- You'll be reward in return. Even simple poo poo like "hey guys great work today here's (can of coke on a hot day, or a beer, or any small reward). Or even a THANKYOU goes a long way. Treat your staff as simply a cost figure on a sheet of paper- And you'll get a higher turnover rate of staff. it's funny, because out of the lovely small business owners i've come across (not working for, just dealings with) - some people go off into small business because they don't want to work for some rear end in a top hat, and in the process become an rear end in a top hat with zero insight - some people just want to feel like they're important so start up a business to lord it over others - others have decent intent, but don't know how to run a business and end up stressing and screwing down hard on their employees which becomes some sort of negative feedback loop that's not an exhaustive list, but the first two i've come across a lot.

Lion announced job cuts at the Milton XXXX Brewery, after the union protested the leaks of job cuts and outsourcing jobs to NSW and bringing in casual contracts. Then Lion got the FWC to stop union protests because the FWC ruled the union wasn't protesting in good faith. Today Lion announces job cuts and I've read the Courier Mail comments section and they all blame the union for biting the hand that feeds them.

OK Martin lets run that through the Cartoon facts checker... https://www.expatica.com/fr/employment/french-minimum-wage-and-average-salary-in-france_982310.html Minimum wage in France is €9.88 per hour that is $15.94 AUD. Minimum wage in Australia is $18.93. $18.93 x1/10 = $1.89 =/= $15.94. Not even close. Conclusion: Martin you are an ignorant poo poo dribbling clown. Please gently caress up and die.

Not to mention the fact that a lot of basic goods in the EU and Canada cost much less when compared to our small distant marketplace.

Frydenberg on the radio now saying that negative gearing is aimed at battlers because over a million people that partake in it have a taxable income of less than $80,000p/a. Hmmmmm... I wonder what they could be doing to lower their taxable income?

Alas, the state treasurers couldn’t agree to remove the tax because stimulating economic growth was considered more important. July 2016

It's so good of Labor to go hard on tampon tax like the RC into banks they supposedly bullied the LNP into, and thats why we don't have the tampon tax anymore. Only a reactionary party would change their policy on the back of a wave of popular thought after successful repeals of tampon taxes in notorious loving hellholes like New York

Only a truly moronic and incompetent government would keep their policies on things like fossil fuels for example frozen despite mounting evidence that they’re not only unreliable but also economically a disaster. In their defense the liberals have technically shifted their policy though - they used to have an energy policy (albeit a terrible one) but now they don’t have one at all. As I said though, labor announced this policy six months ago. Nice for the liberals to finally implement it.

Do you somehow think that I am praising the Coalition? I'm condemning Labor for being a carbon copy of them, with little to no difference in policy - the difference in policy literally becoming smaller by the day as the Government passes the populist platforms that Shorten has only adopted in the farcical hope that it would convince people that the ALP aren't just interested in gaining power and maintaining the status quo. A vote for either party is a vote for the same neo liberal bullshit economic ideology. The same needlessly punitive, inhumane (and probably illegal) refugee policies that leave us an international disgrace. The same approaches to funding infrastructure through privatisation, and privatisation of existing infrastructure. There is no difference apart from, apparently, a small change to franking credits.

It's also completely irrelevant what it costs to go to a restaurant/cafe/pub in France, Germany, UK or Canada because nobody in Australia is going to fly there for because it's too expensive here.
