I know they are essential services but how many of us have gone to the shops on a weekend or after hours

Yep. Howabout the bill they tried to pass taking social security money to pay for more childcare benefits!

Need a mining supertax, they cry that big companies are taxed too much, but Australia is worth a premium, it is a safe place for companies to invest and work, with reliable and skilled workforce etc. And barramundi ...

Don't get me started........

On the same day some of the lowest wage earners in Australia get screwed over, the CEO of a government run entity (Aus Post) quits his job, because he's been copping a bit of grief over his $4,000,000 salary and gets a $5,000,000 payout!

Somes up what's wrong with this country really.
