Not that I want to be accused of trolling, or further adding fuel to the train drivers wage fire.
Stu quoted what we can believe to be the current award.
Metro and the drivers are, one would assume, negotiating a new enterprise agreement, which is no doubt more rewarding than the safety net.
Well negotiating might be too strong a word.

A couple of other points,
Only from what I have read above,
The current offer, of 3% followed by 3 lots of 4% adds up to more than 17% due to the benefits of compounding. I.e the first increment is increased by the next , and so on.

Secondly, unfortunately in my experience, substantial industrial action almost always results in an apparently lesser outcome than that offered at the outset.

So approximately 1 second into his leadership & Malcolm's already saved us a fortune!

Hallelujah!!!
Hosanna in the highest!!
Blah blah blah
Thank. Fkn. God!!!

At last we might have someone to vote for. Hopefully the far right let him do the job and don't hamstring him.

Ps: apologies to manticle for excessive use of exclamation marks, but I'm hoping you'll let it slide this time.

Turnbull is a slimy kernt. Anything he says cannot be taken at face value. He is continually posturing to further his own ambitions. The country is in real strife.

He is a politician so perhaps you are stating the obvious...
Mind you I don't have anything nice to say about Tony either

How does it go

They call it "professional politician". Frick the country, they are in it for themselves.

Abbott was a career politician.
Turnbull - barrister, merchant banker, politician.
Same rule-for-the-rich party though, and LNP supporters should be stoked because he will be more effective at implementing hardline free market policies.

(Hopeful) positives:
- Not a monarchist
- science to be taken seriously
- marriage equality
- no more slogans

 

[manticle]

Exactly. Ex lawyer, investment banker, jounalist.
Worth over 120 mill, not exactly a man of the people.
I reserve judgement though - he might be really, really, really, really good.
