Truly he is a piss weak PM. It's getting embarrassing how awful he is at negotiating, which is terrible since he was a lawyer and investment banker. Maybe he's so used to getting his own way all the time due to those previous roles that he doesn't understand when someone stands up to him.

His problem is that he negotiates too much to try and look like A Reasonable Man, but he's dealing with cretins and fuckwits all day so it don't work.

I went and broke down my parents' house a few months ago to get an idea of what happens with the market. This isn't crazy, they bought a nice home in a good suburb that was suitable for starting a family at the time. So the price of the house now isn't equivalent to Caroline Springs or something, but the argument stands when you look at wage growth and housing prices.

They bought a 3br in Surrey Hills VIC in 1986 for $86,000. This was around 110% of my dad's yearly income and he was ~40 years old I think.

The house is now worth $1.6m. This is 2000% of my yearly income as a 33 year old. I am not expecting my wage to grow by 2000% in the next 6 years.

If you take a similar house in the new burbs (which by comparison will be poorly built, poorly serviced and remote to employment opportunities) for $400,000 that's still 500% of my annual income. Similarly I am not expecting my wages to grow by 500% in the next 6 years.

Anyway what I'm saying is gently caress boomers they can suck a dick.

That's the essential problem, they don't want wages to grow but they won't solve it the other way either.

They won't because the industry already exploits people and doesn't slow down. Nothing will change, everyone will rock up.

BOAT SHOWBOAT posted:

Fair Work's decision today won't just effect people who work weekends; many businesses have EA's negotiated where penalty rates aren't paid but the base rate is higher to compensate for this. This means that when those agreements are renegotiated they will no longer keep the base rate at that higher level to compensate for the lack of penalty rate.

In short, the effect of this is that in the long term the penalty rates cut will decrease the base rate for a huge number of staff on employee agreements as well, even if they only work weekdays.

It depends on what the workers do when they bargain, but idiot manager will come in and argue for a freeze until the wage is "normalised".
