this is waht john howard will do to our kids, page-6

re: this is what john howard will do to our kids Actually lucas, Australians have a chance to say no to this... An extrapolation of your argument is that it will be OK to bring back child labour and the work house...

As I've said before, these proposals of Howard do little that will help the Australian workplace other than to fatten the profits of the big guys.

We can not compete with the labour markets of China and India, nor should we attempt to. What needs to be done is to skill the Australian workforce, something which Howard even though he has been in power for 10 loooooong years, has failed miserably to do.

He has attempted to divert our attention from this massive failing, this bleeding of the tafe and tertiary sectors of our education system by encouraging downward envy, bashing unions and those least able to stand up for themselves as well as all this terror nonsense.

Now the conditions of the larger workforce is threatend and I don't believe they will take it lying down.

Howard is on the skids....
