Hi Evan.
I don't know who set up the system by which our politicians have an "Independant" arbitrater to set thier wages, which they "Can't' refuse. But I do know that if one was set up for the workers they would be forever getting a wage cut wich they also couldn't refuse. I realy don't know how we are going to fix it, look at whats happening in Egypt, total stuff up. The Greens here are such a wet lot their deputy wanting to open the flood gates for illegals. Don't know what our mates are going to do in the UK but I'm going to order a truck full of sand and bury my head in it.
Cheers Des

The ugly duckling, Swan, our treasurer was asked in a radio interview why the polis did not knock back the increase given they have just announced big cuts to social services. His reply,' we cannot do that it is law we accept'.
"then change the law' was the reply.
'We would be silly to do that' was the reply to that.
Bigger toughs are now needed for the bigger snouts.
