Budget got the tick of approval from the coalition as far as I'm aware. The majority of the shit in it was blocked by others, not the lnp, in the senate. My recollection may be wrong.And where did that budget end up once it was put to parliment and the rest of the coalition party room?
Penalty rates weren't proposed to be abolished, they were to be adjusted so Sunday matches Saturday's rate.
Quite a list, but you haven't mentioned any.You missed Hockey's first budget. No dole for the first 6 months. More recently Fuck off penalty rates. There's quite a list that would go against what you've just said.
You may be correct for a certain bunch of people.
My comment was in relation to your claimed support of these things by conservatives in Australia.Quite a list, but you haven't mentioned any.
Let's see, minimum wage $7 versus $17
For under 30's in Aus, it was briefly a 6 month wait till you got UE benefits .
In the US, generally at 6months it stops (well they need to fill all those $7 an hour jobs I suppose)
Try being long term unemployable in the US, and see how you go
Penalty rates? You serious? working on a Sunday is worth double working on a Saturday? Having staffed retail, I can tell you, retail on Sunday's is understaffed and people compete for those shifts because they are overpaid. And do you have workers in the US on double time just because it's Sunday?
Gee, that long list didn't last long. The USA is a shit of a place to be an unskilled worker, Aussie have no idea how important those tips are to enable the waitress to actually live
Bwahaha - just read the whole story. Deadset, trump is a muppet!Anybody on a call with Turnbull to get a definitive answer on anything in anybody's interest other than his & the loon pond was going to consider it a painful conversation.
Bit unusual to leak comments of a private conversation though.
Go on?Funny story...
In one corner we have the reality TV guy with a preference for eastern European models that also knows his way around Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. In the other corner we have man who virtually invented the internet in Australia.Welcome to the new reality: the (purposefully) leaked details of a phone call between our lackluster PM and an unhinged Twitter-happy POTUS is pseudo-front-page newsworthy.
Both would work wonders though.Don't agree that republicans need to think they are going to lose their seats, they just need to realise they don't have any control over him.
Yeah, this whole protectionist, isolationism bullshit Trump trumpets is anathema to most Republicans, most of whom believe the free market is the Deity That Must Be Obeyed and not impinged upon in any way. They're already starting to reign him in (look at his backdown on torture). I'm sure they'll engineer a way to "remove" him if he becomes too much of a liability.Don't agree that republicans need to think they are going to lose their seats, they just need to realise they don't have any control over him.
As well as control, there is conservative policy that trump doesn't get, so he certainly isn't popular within the GOP
