Think the Libs have realised that if Mr Potatohead becomes PM they'll lose the entire ethnic vote at the next general election. That's why ScoMo has chucked his hat in the ring.

Take BHP. They asked the unions to agree to a moratorium on future wage increases because they were experiencing liquidity problems. The unions agreed but a few years down the track BHP started returning serious profit so the unions asked for a pay rise that reflected the loss of wages increase over the previous years and for the personal sacrifice workers had shown helping keep the company going. BHP refused the unions request, offering a lesser amount and the usual diatribe about how they couldn't afford it and they had to listen to their shareholders etc etc. Then as recently as last week BHP is now telling the government that they were "thinking" of investing in future projects but because of the current fighting over energy issues they have decided to look else where. Well fuck me we all know what happens next. Is BHP running the country or is it the government? 

The company I used to work for in WA is doing something similar (Alcoa)! They asked for help from the unions to lower costs in hard times, now they have decided to radically change the Enterprise Bargaining Agreement which has expired and now want everyone on 12 month contracts to allow the business to be more 'flexible'!!!!!
As if the workers haven't been flexible until then?

So the lads are out on indefinite strike now and I can't say I blame them, it doesn't take blind Freddie to figure out where all this is going - slave and master industrial relations and ever increasing margins for the company at the workers expense! All this no doubt encouraged by the politicians!

Apparently Madam Asbestosa, the Queen of Mesothelioma, has also stuck her bib in.

So the right wing nazi bastards of the liberal party have forced us to a change of PM. Will someone please organise a shuttle for the lot of them off to planet flat earth.
