Well done mate!
Tell Tony to stop war mongering and crawl out of Bush's backside, and there might be more money for pensions!

I have to say that I don't usually support strike action but from what I can see the government have shafted you guys and I don't know what else you can do, and you have to do something, so good luck to you!

When you say should be on strike, does that imply she is going in to work?

Lets hope both sides play by the rules tomorrow. After 20 years in Industrial Relations, I have seen low level but persistent conflict continue between people for years, following strike action.

Picking and choosing what they base inflation on.. Funny how the rates go up at lease double that but is not includes in inflation. And look at the price of the privatised services Gas, Electric and Water.
The wars cost us billions and lives.
