Dear Prime Minister John Howard,
Have you looked outside lately? Have you even once in the past two terms of your unnecessary four terms stopped listening to those cute little pixie voices in your head?
Now I don't mean to be rude, because I'm sure you get enough of us "Australian workers" trying to talk to you about one of the most controversial bills that has ever been brought before parliament in modern Australia. But really, what the hell do you think you're doing?
You are intentionally creating a bottom class of society. Hey, what does it mean to be rich of you don't have the poor to compare yourself too right? You are lowering the quality of life for those who are already struggling. You are muscling this sugar-coated stomach bile bill of yours through the two houses which you have someone managed to both gain a majority in. See that I definitely don't expect you to tell the truth all the time, that's almost un-human, and I would never expect that from a politician especially, what would the public do with the truth?
You are making Australia into the only first world country that does not allow collective bargaining in the workplace. You are taking any power that the Australian worker has away and claiming that you are improving the system.
You are not improving the system.
Was it that everyone else was in a union but you? Did you feel lonely and decide that no one can be in a union if you can't? I apologize again but, what is your annual salary? What a nice cufflinks Prime Minister John Howard, I'm sure many children below the poverty line could have had breakfast this morning but you do look snappy in those cufflinks.
It is quite tricky of you to tell the public that you are doing something good for them, improving the workplace relations system, improving everyones lives, improving the economy. I know I could never do that, I'd say that it would just weigh too much on my conscience to be taking away such things like award wages, penalty rates, and collective bargaining.
Oops, I said the words collective bargaining, I didn't mean it, really I didn't, I'm sorry I just don't have the money to pay that $33 000 fine for trying to come to equal grounds with an employer.
I'll make you a deal, because generally I'm a nice person and I'll give you a second chance, oh sorry you blew that one over ten years ago. But anyways, I'm a nice person, so how about if you can make it, nevermind live comfortably, working as an un-skilled young Australian worker, I'll let you pass those laws of yours. Won't do it? Understandable of course, you could never come down off your perch at the top to notice anything like mass protest and public outcry for basic work rights.
Finally, if you haven't caught my point yet, no one likes your new workplace reforms. And we the public really feel that it is time to stop spending tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars on full page newspaper advertisements and television commercials attempting to defend this pathetic "simple 700 page" bill.
You made it to the position of Prime Minister of Australia, congratulations sir, but why do you feel the need to take any kind of oppertunity from Australia's next generation? You lived in an economy with fair wages and work rights, now it's only reasonable for you to pass on the same to Australia's future.
Sincerely,
Megan Pennington
