"Whenever you have a big change, and IR is a big change, although it's a fair change, you always lose a bit of bark, because it's easy for the critics to say: ‘This is terrible. It's outrageous. It's going to cut everybody's wages and lead to people being intimidated and suppressed.’ I mean, none of that is true, but they're the allegations.
And if you are to be a Government for the future, if you are to be a Government that vindicates the judgement of the people, then you have to accept that you'll go through periods of political adversity. And nothing in the polls at the present time the least bit surprises me, and of course I note that we are, what, two years away from the next election.
So, I think the Government's position is a good position, because it's a position based on doing things, and governing well and governing with courage and strength for the future of the country.
There's no point in being in government if you don't utilise the opportunity that democratic responsibility has given you."
"......this Government is doing what the people asked us to do in October of last year.
They put us back. They increased our majority. They gave us a wafer-thin majority in the Senate. We have used that sensibly, responsibly, but soberly, and we'll go on doing that."
Such a bugger they don't have the bit about bombed out Beazley - the leader of the so called Labour party. Izzie despises the Rat but for once he minimized his mendaciousness when accusing the Big B of being a gutless wimp wanting to have it both ways by on the one hand criticizing the so called anti terrorism bill while at the same time voting in favour of it.
Yesss. It is nice to know the Rat is protecting his fellow Australians from the Scum of the Universe.
Australia saved from evil American terrorist
Oh, and in the light of recent events, thought it would be interesting to tweek the Time Turner and resurrect this Oscar winning performance from June 2005 (as quoted in The Australian - Sat 3rd December p20)
Almost as revealing as this ratty revelation in a recent radio interview as reported in The West Australian on Saturday 12 November this year.
“The Prime Minister said yesterday that workers should not worry about whether the reforms would be good or bad for them, but rather they should think about what they meant for the economy’
“You can’t really look at industrial relations laws in the context of whether it helps or hinders the workers or helps or hinders the employers” he said on radio”
“Because in the end it’s not the laws of industrial relations that govern job security and govern high wages - it’s the strength and productivity of the economy”
And this is what Izzie's got to say to that
