Real gutsy stuff. I like the way you make a huge post blaming men for everything bad in the world, and then disable comments preemptively to save yourself a flaming. Real gutsy stuff.

We have a primeminister through opportunism and good salesmanship managed to get elected 4 times by citizens who have trusted his spiel. Mind you most of the ordinary people who trusted him have no idea why - only the fact that he told them why through his false self promotion. Like many others, I fear for the future of my children with these IR reforms. Apparently if you are currently working, these reforms should not affect your penalty rates or working conditions, but it gives no assurance to those entering the workforce ie school leavers, unemployed, mothers returning to work and those changing jobs. We have to become silent. We can no longer rely on human rights and equal opportunity. We have a collapsing public education system and deteriorating health system. People are laiden down with debt and now they can no longer rely on decent working conditions. How did Australia become such a backwater so quickly? There is nothing positive to give our future underclass and a generation of young who believe that democracy is something that used to exist and look only to fear for their aspiration. The old saying you get what you pay for is true and if these corporations really expect a good days' work for a bad days' wages, they will be unpleasantly surprised. Australia's crime rate will escalate. Why have us ordinary Australians become so insignificant?
