We are now seeing the effects of a shortage of "real workers" who do not shuffle paper for a living. These are the ones who cannot work from home! No Transport No Meat No Fuel No Fruit and Vegetables No product of any kind on the Supermarket shelves if things carry on like this. Soon there will be no nurses , no doctors and probably no "mental health workers" to pander to all the snowflakes in the big smoke. It is going to be a scary new world out there but it is time for all Australians to pull their finger out and start being responsible for themselves and the decisions they make. If you are not vaccinated that is your choice to make, but do not rock up to the hospital for treatment when you get sick, very simple. Hats Off to all the real workers out there who do any kind of physical work for a living for without them we will all starve to death. Deepest gratitude to all the Nurses and Doctors and hospital workers putting their own health at risk everyday to look after the rest of us. As for all the rich white collar workers out there, I hope you like the taste of money because that is all you will be eating or wiping your backside with if things do not improve. We need to place a higher value on the people who do manual labour for a living and a much lower value on your University educated business and political employees be they government or free enterprise , who are taught how to fleece the poor manual worker out of his hard earned money!

While I have sympathy for frontline workers in various capacities because of low wages growth ALL wage and salary earners and small business operators should be very much valued for their services. Wages are set by a govt body and the govt of the day can either support rises or oppose them. For years now profit for the corporates has gone up but wages haven't followed. Workers need to make wages an election issue.
