ABC Online bring the unhappy news that our Government is intent on addressing the “skills shortage” and in the process enable empoyers to offer us less satisfactory pay and conditions.
The “skills shortage” is a peculiar case where the ALP (driven by the unions which are superfluous if we can negotiate individually) and the Liberals (driven by employer groups which hate having to negotiate with empowered employees) are at odds with the best interests of the vast majority of the population.
