HI All Before the Liberal /National party won the election. They where telling the people of Australia that "no worker will be worse off" and "there will be no new taxes". Howard/Costello are "lying"..... I am a construction worker and I have been told that I will have to take a 15% per week wage cut and some how find $600 dollars for the tax department. Being a construction worker I work all over town and have no set location in which I can call my place of work. Unlike some people who may work in a factory and as such would make sure they live close to there place of work. I cannot do this!! The construction worker's have a tax free travelling excemption which is currently $7.60 of $11.40 each day. The Labour party was also going to do this last year after the tax department said we should be taxed,but the unions managed to change Mr Keatings mind. Seems I will loose a days pay on wednesday may 29th as we have a national strike to protect our wage from the Liberal/National goverment.,as we cannot change the Liberal/National minds. The construction worker will be worse off and the employer will loose production on this day and may loose more as we put another wage claim in for an extra $50 to cover our lose from this goverment. I have a few months to find $600 Is this the start of things to come? Why is there not a party for the worker and bosses? As Labour goes more to the right. Liberal have to go even further to the right. Wages will not be attacked?...ye right No new taxes?....ye right Bye Anthony :)
