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 :)
