Blackadder made a point, there is no way an 8 year veteran in nursing is only on $57k. The unions made a joke of themselves by making such a claim.

The $57k would be the base rate, but once you put shift, nights, weekends and every thing else add another $30k to $40k.

To make such a claim by the unions is just laughable. No 8 year veteran will work for $57k.

Australians really need to step back and see how other people in other countries would deal & handle a similar situation whereby Government politicians and bureaucrats could just automatically give themselves HUGH pay increase at tax payers expense. Meanwhile IMPORTANT people in the community like nurses had to fight and “strike” for small and modest increases to their wages.

People in other countries wouldn’t let Government politicians and bureaucrats get away with it, millions would march in the streets in protest much like the French people did when their Government wanted to increase the pension from 60 to 62.

It’s a difficult thing to have to say, but Australians have turned into a bunch of gutless sheep not willing to stand up and fight anymore for their own rights - and are letting 300 parasite pollies dictate wrong and unfair decisions to the whole 20 million of us even when we know something like the nurses fight for proper wages and conditions ratios for their patients is a just cause.

As my grandmother said the other night: “when did Aussies turn into being such a pack of gutless wonders?”

I agree

but when a few souls marched on parliament house claiming they should have a vote on this CARBON TAX that they were lied too about

.. those on here saw fit to ridicule them and basically say they didnt know what they were talking about because they were all OLD..and if there was any justice they would all be dead.. or at least some of them.

so its a bit like when you see a fight in the street you now think twice before getting involved because you too could end up on lifesupport or charged by the police..we live in a strange world.

I love the way this fed polliea pay rise comes right in the middle of their 4 years... amazing it never comes the week before an election does it?????.. maybe if we are ever given a say in any of this... we can ask that these small details come out just a few weeks before an election so we paupers can digest it..especially when we are being told...

hey as a single pensioner you could end up $4 a week better off than you have ever been when the CT kicks in..I will be lucky to afford a couple of tomatoes by then.. or maybe it will pay for the gravy but not the meat and 3 veg,

I dont know that I begrudge these guys more money!!!!!!.. slipper YES a big YES...but I do think the timing is a bit rich. when they had a wage freeze they got a Tax free expenses rise.... we poor people dont get tax free expenses...

they have quite a cushy little number really

Personally, I believe the main reason why Australians don’t protest and fight anymore is because of dilution in the population. We have vast numbers of Asian and other ethnic cultures that have came to Australia who have left their own homeland instead of fighting for it, so therefore one could say these individuals would not stand up and fight or protest against anything. They would simply hide in the shadows and accept anything. I don’t think there is enough white or European Australians left in Australia to make a difference.

Australia has became the planets human garbage dump.

Look at how many dumb Aussies still believe in this carbon tax hoax that is now being scientifically touted as being a hoax portrayed on Australia because of the wording (per capita) and not as the individual country as the polluter.

All scientists NOW believe that only 3% of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is man made, but Gillard and her dooms-days clown brigade had people believing the world was coming to an end and the sea was rising and was going to swamp many low lying Island Nations.

As people from other countries are now seeing; Australians are just dumb and backward.
