Does anyone remember that they are lube-ing up to rape the working class? No? Fuck you Greenpeace. Fuck you Gerry Brownlee. Fuck you gormless swing voters.

Um, I still remember. It's not like people can't think about more than one thing at a time. Now that the mining thing is over, for now, we can focus on issues that actually affect people's lives, right?

Swing Voters. Voters who like parties where you throw your keys in a bowl, hoping to get picked up by the politician most likely to give you 'personal tax cuts', only to be fucked royally later on when the discover they've picked up a nasty GST rise they can't shake, despite a number of regular trips to an ineffectual and under funded health sector...

yes - one can't help but think that they're backing down on the mining thing a little bit to placate the middle classes and get them onside against the unions/workers.

you don't have to be a burger flipper or a wharfie to be shitted about the one day sikkie rule. yeah i had the flu for one day but i still had to drag my sick carcass down to the doctors (thus defeating the purpose of my day off) and pay $40 (thus largely defeating the concept of "paid leave") to prove to my cuntbag boss that i was actually sick, as if this wont be obvious from the fact that i'm still sick when i come back to work tomorrow pricks and yeah that "trial period" bs can get fucked too. they're trying to turn the "yoof" employment market into something like what the US has. Knowing lots of young Americans with shit jobs, it's a nightmare of low pay, zero paid leave, instant firing and compulsory drug tests. I'm sure all the "honest and hard-working" car dealership owners (i.e. john key's golf buddies) think that's just fucking choice

What's also been kinda missed in a lot of the talk about the 90-day trial thing is that it will stop job mobility - which is how a lot of people get up the job ladder onto better incomes. Why quit my job if I could just get fired at the next one for no reason? And the sick leave thing is beyond retarded. All you have to do is tell the doctor you have a real bad headache - it's not like they can test for it - and bingo, medical cert. Only having 5 days sick leave a year I'm discovering is inadequate too. If you get one bad flu, that's upto a week gone right away. I used 3 of my five days because my kid got sick - because I've got none left, I'm now eating up my annual leave and coming back to work still sneezing and coughing. And if you get chickenpox, forget about taking a holiday for the next year, because you've already taken it, as far as payroll is concerned...

Yeah, John Key wants to attract people to come back to work in NZ, then treats them like muppets, saying they have to have a sick note for 1 day off... Here in Germany, some uptight companies demand that too, usually ones with true blue collar workers, assembly lines, that stuff. When I have a cold, the last thing I wanna do is go anywhere, except to maybe by some lemons and honey, if I have none. The total breakdown of trust, the hierachical nature of it..... We only live on this rock for such a short short time. Its tragic there are so many power hungry zealots ruining the party, choking the air, making money outa money, playing morality gods, ripping off tennents, playing crap on the radio, being suspicious of good art. Be rest assured, when I have my next cold, I'm not going to the doctor on day one. Day two, maybe. Day three, then I wanna go by my own accord, cos I wanna get better. Its called 'civilized'. Go back to Hawaii, or wherevverr John Key, and stop harrassing people for heavens sake. Come on Labour, try and get good. Work with the Greens, like they do here in Germany. The environments only gonna get worse, and yer gonna need our vote...

Quote That happened to me too...welcome to fatherhood in NZ in the 21st century. It doesn't exactly give you an incentive (moral or otherwise) to work real hard when you're well, does it.
