-- Remember this, it came out earlier in the week sometime, was across all the headlines.
A NEW study funded by the Federal Government and Unions NSW says workers on Australian Workplace Agreements (AWAs) are generally low skilled and around $100 a week worse off than those on collective agreements. The Australia at Work study, billed as the most comprehensive yet, surveyed more than 8000 workers, concluding that those on AWAs earned on average $106 a week less than those on collective agreements with both groups working an average 44 hours a week. The study was conducted by the University of Sydney with funding from the Federal Government's Australian Research Council and Unions NSW. The Australian.
But you won't hear this, in the headlines.
THE academic who authored a report being used to attack Work Choices is a self-declared socialist who issued an extraordinary call to arms against the Howard Government's "neo-conservative agenda" in 2005. John Buchanan's speech revealed he was so traumatised by Mark Latham's defeat at the 2004 federal election that he did not read a newspaper for two months and "could hardly talk to my friends".
In an address to a Politics in the Pub forum held in the Sydney suburb of Surry Hills in February 2005 -- uncovered by The Australian's columnist Janet Albrechtsen -- the University of Sydney academic sets out what he believes "socialists and the Left" should do in response to the Howard Government. Dr Buchanan said last night his comments to the 2005 forum were made as a private citizen and his views had no impact on his research. "The views I expressed at Politics in the Pub were made as a private citizen and using this against me in my professional life is an attack on the freedom of speech," he said. The Australian.
How he manages to carry such a large ax around with him, while doing all this research, I don't know. Another thing, don't those morons in the federal government know better than to let some socialist Union lackey do research for them, they should know by now, only the worst headlines will be splashed across the media. Wake up folks, it's an election year, make those bureaucrats do some work, because the hostile media will not do you any favors. No point finding the dirt on the fellow after the work is done.
