Here we go again

It is with a slight sense of rage that I read this news about the State Liberal Government's plans for WA.
Not content with repealing prostitution laws designed to offer more protection for sex workers, the right wing knobs have decided that WA does not need to subscribe to the new Federal industrial relations regime.

As I write this, I'm still having trouble coming to terms with the fact that Troy Buswell is actually on the front bench of our Government after sniffing chairs and snapping bras for most of his time in opposition.

But apart from all that, what gives them the right to say that WA does not need to subscribe to laws brought on by the Federal Government with an overhwelming mandate?

Buswell's arrogance shines through particularly when he is questioned by a senate committee about whether or not WA would abide by the proposed Fair Work Bill:

"It's our view that ... (employees and employers should) arrange their affairs to have flexibility as they see fit,'' Mr Buswell said.

"You don't have to take the job, at the end of the day.''


You don't have to take the job at the end of the day. Thanks for that, Troy. Wanker.

"You don't have to take the job at the end of the day."

He says as the world slides into a massive recession. What a smug git. I wish I could fire him.

Arrogance destroyed the Carpenter Labor Government. Arrogance will also destroy the Barnett Liberal Government - only problem is we may have to wait 3 and ¾ years.

And I forgot Arrogance also destroyed the Howard Liberal Government... Bring on an election.

That seems strange. Don't they consider that Western Australia is a part of the country? - Dave

Hear dat. Just wait until everyone is losing their jobs and being rehired at a fraction of their wages. Hate to be the harbringer of doom, so I am booking a very expensive holiday for the middle of the year and preparing myself for living with my parents and stacking shelves in tescos by the end of it.
