Communism increases costs

This is the perfect example of how Communism increases costs on society (taxpayer). Even without the Communist leftist hogwash (social inclusion) it still requires 'work' when if the Government was not 'involved' like it is, then the cost would be lower, taxes would be lower, and then business and jobs would benefit because people have more money to invest! Yippeeee but Kevin Rudd writes essays on Ruddernomics, not economics. He is a narcissistic snob who talks through his nose like a girl and he looked like a real man in his early days. These days he looks like a SNAG (sensitive new age 'guy') but I would prefer we leave out the 'guy' part because he is an insult to manliness and masculinity. Maybe a SNAP (sensitive new age 'person') or a SNNAP (sensitive narcissistic new age person) or SNAWP (sensitive narcissistic new age writer person).
Anyway however it is imperative we see this article.

Jumping through hoops to get work
Caroline Overington | August 08, 2009

GAVIN Lester is the owner of a small building company called X-site and he can't wait to get started on the Rudd government's BER projects, building hundreds of Australian school halls.

Wait is what he'll have to do, however, because as X-site, and thousands of other small building companies are discovering, it won't be easy for the "little guys" -- small bands of tradies, chippies and sparkies -- to get a slice of Kevin Rudd's $14.7 billion Building the Education Revolution pie.

The BER was supposed to create local jobs for local people but, in order to work on a BER project, small builders have to commit to a bewildering set of standards and policies.

These include "social inclusion" policies, which mean they have to hire a certain number of women, disabled people, former prisoners, and indigenous apprentices. They also need to commit to an environmental policy, ensuring that whatever work they do won't damage native grasses, or lead to the extinction of rare birds.

Those who want to work on school sites -- and the BER is a school-based program -- need to visit the local police station, to get a Working with Children Check to prove they have never been convicted of viewing child pornography or similar offences.

Unions now in control of Australia

From Andrew Bolt. Julia Gillard was a very strong unionist. The Government of Australia is made up of 75% of unionists while Australia in population terms are only 10% of the population! Representative Government? I think not!

Unions given the government’s ear

Andrew Bolt – Saturday, August 01, 09 (06:35 am)

Warning! Here’s the resolution that Julia Gillard has agreed should be put today to the national Labor conference:

Accordingly, Labor in government will aim to include unions, along with business, community and other appropriate interests in constituted boards, committees and consultative bodies that provide advice to the government.

Unions have never been so weak in numbers. But, thanks to Labor, they haven’t been this strong in years.

UPDATE

Why do the union leaders get to barge ahead in the queue for a hearing?

Number of Australians who are Catholic:

5,001,624

Number of Australians who are trade unionists:

1,786,000
