Baz, in Sept this year, you and many other people have an option of who you want to lead the country.
You can vote Labor as Rets mentions, or that New Pauline Hanson's party, if its up and running by then, or the many others.
You don't have to vote for the ALP if you don't want to.
Now, don't sit there and complain, while getting $53 an hour to work, but at the same time moan out loud when the ALP gets in, and wages drop to say, $44 an hour, but you get more benefits, holiday pay, time in lieu, blah blah blah.

Um, dont all casuals miss out on manyof the benefits mentioned above? What if you apply to go full time Bazza? Youre a union man Bazza, speak to them. You pay your dues each month, so have a right for greivance.

My company has a job going for a plumber where you will get most of those things without the need to fly in and out, plus 21% super and 6 weeks annual leave. It pays about $48,000 for a 37-hour week in a pleasant environment in Perth. You have the choice of a collective agreement or an AWA.
Interested?

Yes - casual wages have a loading in lieu of annual leave and sick leave. That was the law before and after Workchoices.
