In the 2006 financial year my taxable income was $32,000 this financial year it was $24,000 this happened because all employers in this industry made award positions redundent %26amp; offered existing staff their jobs back on a contract without penalties, overtime etc your workchoices %26quot;assistance%26quot; line claimed this was %26quot;reasonable%26quot; %26amp; went on about %26quot;market forces%26quot;. My question is ; 1, do you believe this is fair ? 2, if re-ellected are you going to change this situation at all ? 3, if re-ellected will your taxable income be reduced to $24,000 %26amp; put on a contract without overtime or penality rates ? and lastly, 4, do you realy believe that the majority of Australians are better off under this new system than they were before ? let me tell you as a fact I know a lot of people yet I know NOBODY who is better off now under workchoices unless they are in an upper management position %26amp; again NOBODY I know believes that this is a fair system. It is a pitty the Aussie fair go is obviously not you
Mr Howard this is in relation to your workchoices laws.?
If your labor union makes the cost of employees to expensive then your employer must reduce employees or go out of business.
