Goodbye Bronwyn

[seamad]

do you reckon leek soup would be on the menu ?

 

[wombil]

i think Malcolm lacks the skills to drive a train but tony was way off the rails.

Those figures were inserted into the award on 14 April 2003.
If you are going to argue from a position of authority, at least use the current indexed figures, not those from 12½ years ago.

I just used what was on Fair Work Australia web site

If that is what is currently shwon, maybe you should take it up with them

I am not the first person on here to use the " But its on Fair Work Australia's web site "

Can you provide the current actuall pay rates ?

For the record I visited fwa website and used their pay calculator.
Tried it a couple of times with the same result, no guarantee I haven't made an error. The below is minimum award, base salary, no extras for level 6 train driver, 19+ years old.

$26 per hour, weekly wage $933.

Lot of weeks to get to 140k. More than 140 in fact.

Maths = 140k =~2.5+ years for average full time, qualified train driver. If they do 1.5+ years equivalent overtime in 12 months then good ******* luck to them. They deserve every cent.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

But The Herald Sun said they earn $140k

Your maths are shit

 

[manticle]

I'm a bit dumb, it's true.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

You need to start reading Newscorp newspapers and get edumacated

 

[manticle]

I do read them.
I just don't understand them.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Are you actually supposed to read them....


All they do is block my toilet

 

[Mardoo]

They block my mental toilet.

First Dog = Gold!

LOL....some guy & a betong :lol: :lol: :lol:

Let the disappointment begin.
- no free vote for marriage equality
- no ETS
- nationals in charge of water

[madpierre06]

He's certainly proved to be no different at the core...still, this country has more to worry about than issues of marriage ewquality, as significant as they may appear or be to some. We're on the way down the hole, and the less well off are struggling to breathe through the dust kicked up by our wealthy.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

'we have better things to do' is no excuse. As pointed out in the article it could be done in half an hour of parliamentary time. Instead he's going with a $160million non-binding national vote after the next election.

 

[madpierre06]

A valid point mate, and I think we both know that where you and I probably stand on this are more than likely at opposite ends of the spectrum :beer:

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Think of the poor rich folk and all that tax they dont pay

 

[madpierre06]

Didn't Kerry once infamously have a taxable income of around 26 or 29K?

 

[Liam_snorkel]

A valid point mate, and I think we both know that where you and I probably stand on this are more than likely at opposite ends of the spectrum :beer:

you may be one of the 25% who oppose it :icon_cheers:
