The Australian people have spoken mate, clearly they were not happy with the 'Coalition' and wanted change.

I agree, this country is gonna be stuffed, also we own a store with staff on IR laws, we wont be able to run the business without them. guess there is gonna be a few people to lose their jobs.

Rudd is like most pollies. Once it's in, they won't change it. Election promises. He even said himself in the early days, they will scrap the IR laws, only soon after to say they will scale them back. Now he's in power, they won't touch the IR laws. They have to build on the work done by governments before them.

Under the system we have you either get paid what you are worth or you get a different job. If you are a good worker then the company wont want to lose you and pays a fair wage, under the old system fat @ssed lazy to$$eers get the same as the guys that work hard.....Under rudd a lot of places will be forced to just close up cos they wont be able to pay what the union deems to be a fair wage..
