Not having a go at you IJ5...just leading off your post.

I will bet one hour of my exuberant wage that not one 'competitive' country has what Australia has. We should lower our wages to pittance and with that remove Medicare, education to all, the miriad of free government assistance, excellent infrastructure, economic stability, social stability. Let's throw in some true ghettos, lack of humanitarian rights. The list goes on.

And honestly...China is not competitive. The vast majority of their products can't compete on any level except price. And that's because it exploits workers. Their products are chronically inferior in quality. Safety recalls are coming back to haunt retails...Big W and the Abode range is a good example. Food product manufacturing procedures are poorly regulated...think...exploding water melons and melamine infant formula.

Australia's majority work for $25 (casual rate) and under one would find. And minimum wage of $16 or so is hardly Unions extorting bosses. Must be one weak Union if that's the best they can do...lol

May those who complain lead the way...go one better...work below minimum wage. But the irony is that Australia's safe guards would prevent that.

"May those who complain lead the way...go one better...work below minimum wage."

You will find that those who complain are complaining about others' wages being high. When it comes to their own wages, they reckon they are over-worked but under-paid, not too different to our Liberal ministers.

Joe Hockey talked about the end of the Age of Entitlements, but shy from talking about cutting politicians' excessively generous various entitlements.
