    Work choices was very much about competing by racing to the bottom on workers' rights. I agree that making us wage-slave is a good description of the Howardesque programme.

    Douglas: no matter how much education and skills you have, Australia/US/UK/EU can’t compare in slave wages “China/India/Philippians” that the business elites want and the law allows.

    We have highly skilled, very educated and intelligent Australians that have no job and will never get a job unless it is unskilled manual labouring or in the hospitality industry for the minimum of wages and conditions.

    Australia has outsourced offshored many blue collar jobs to China and white collar jobs to India and the Philippians and will continue to do so as Australia pumps out uni students with nowhere to go.

    We are lucky that we have welfare and Medicare in Australia or else we would be a third world country as the LNP core policy of the “slave & master” society.

    All this money spent on job training/job networks/job education is just a massive waist that a few profit from to baby sit the unemployed! Howard and gang implemented it and the ALP continues it.

    That money would be better spent either as higher welfare payments or opening up companies, giving interest free loans to a business idea unemployed people have so people might have a job “real jobs”. That is the reality of it.

    I'd always insist that best long term solution is to overhaul the education/training system to make it the fairest and best in the world. Then Australians will be the most competitive in ANY job marketplace--oh and preserve adequate unionization.

    But some actions might mitigate what you were refering to. E.g., the govt. could insist that mining development must try and use Australian steel wherever practicable and possible. What do you think?

    I agree that decisions should be made to benefit Australians, but I'm sure it's possible to benefit *both* current Australians and asylum seekers. It's important to remember that we're all human beings.
