This is not **News** per se, by which I mean this is not a new development. In one form or another, precarious agricultural workers have been take *to the cleaners* over the centuries (from Australia’s colonial past to the present #NeoLiberal #NeoColonialism). Wherever there’s a buck to be made by skipping around laws and regulations, there is sure to be some clever arsehole that comes up with a scheme to vaccum up easy cash. That, is the state our society has come down to and some of the worst perpetrators of this *financial fraud* are #LabourHire companies. They provide nothing that can’t be had by other more equitable schemes and skim the cream off the top for the privilege of screwing workers. ** A pox on all their houses.**

“Australia's growing reliance on temporary migrant labour has fuelled a booming labour hire industry, with contractors sitting between growers and workers, often recruiting, transporting and housing them.” (Source: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-04/australias-hidden-modern-slave-labour-workforce-exposed/106968610 )

It bears pointing out the obvious, again, and again, until the general population *Gets It* before the message finally get through the thick ears of govt and those in power start to *read the room*.

“…on almost every issue listed below, the Albanese government has gone against public opinion. For example, more than three-in-five Australians support a gas tax, 83% say the supermarkets deserve some blame for the cost-of-living crisis, three-in-four Australians want a ban on gambling ads and 79% hold a negative view of Israel. On these big issues, the vast majority – from left to right – are in agreement. Yet, as we show below, the prime minister has repeatedly stood with powerful interests.”

How can we allow this kind of rort to go on…? How *responsible* is it for govts, meant to *represent* our wishes and act on them, to ignore the magnitude of #StateCapture?

Wake up people, the representatives we have elected so far in our democratic history ARE NOT your friends, they do not “Represent” YOU.

Get active, get political, make your vote count wherever you live before that voting power is taken away from you for ever.

#UnionBusting practices have been very successful in the last 50 years or so and this is the result. Beats me why ‘workers’ are too stupid to realise this. The only way to secure ‘workers’ (wage and salary earners) rightful share of the national wealth is through #Unionism. Strong, courageous and principled (Are you reading this #ACTU #SallyMcManus ?) willing to fight against all forms of govt for the benefit of all workers. I remember a time when Unions weren’t in bed with govts and strike funds coffers were full.

#JoinYourUnion or keep loosing. Those are the choice, ever were so. “They” can’t lock us all up… remember that. #UnityIsStrength

#InUnity

Hope you’re well Melissa.

A short peek at historical evidence which show that pointing the finger at #Boomers is nothing but an echo of today’s anger and frustration at the growing rise in #WealthInequity since the early 80s:

“The 1970s: Boomers enter the labour market

In the 1970s the unemployment rate quickly doubled as the huge Baby Boomer generation (born 1946-63) entered the workforce. This surge in labour supply increased competition for jobs, drove down wages, and the unemployment rate saw post war highs. The macroeconomic environment was tough too. Global oil shocks and ensuing stagflation meant that economies around the world were hit by rising costs and slower growth.

Geopolitical uncertainty and shifts in industrial policy further muddied the waters. The result was a labour market that was no longer able to keep pace with the surging numbers of job seekers – a trend that set the stage for economic restructuring in the years to follow.” (Source: https://www.indailysa.com.au/news/opinion/2025/03/31/stats-guy-australia-since-1966 )

I have lived experience of those high unemployment and economic shock years. Not pleasant memories.

Maybe I’m an exception. Without turning this toot into a book, let me affirm right here that for this #boomer, life has been just as hard as it has been for anyone born after my generation. I’ll add that I was only able to afford my own house at the age of 72 and only with the help of close family members . Nothing has been given to me on a plate as an adult just because I grew up in the post-war years of relatively favourable redistribution of wealth — all of which, and more, has been clawed back in the last 40 yrs or so. As a parting shot, let me just say that all of our collective problems (talking about the 90% of our society) stem from the #neoliberalism which has ensured run-away inequity and the concentration of wealth in the remaining 10% — because we’ve *All* allowed it to occur (due to apathy, brain-washing, stupidity, misinformed, and/or many other faux pas) since the late 70s. All of this to say, I grow tired of all the finger pointing to a single generation for all the ills suffered by society since then. Believe me when I say, I never voted/asked for any of it.

Our first step out of this mess is a simple one, *Join Your Union* and fight for what is due to us all.

Nothing has been given to me on a plate as an adult just because I grew up in the post-war years of relatively favourable redistribution of wealth — all of which, and more, has been clawed back in the last 40 yrs or so. As a parting shot, let me just say that all of our collective problems (talking about the 90% of our society) stem from the #neoliberalism which has ensured run-away inequity and the concentration of wealth in the remaining 10% — because we’ve *All* allowed it to occur (due to apathy, brain-washing, stupidity, misinformed, and/or many other faux pas) since the late 70s. All of this to say, I grow tired of all the finger pointing to a single generation for all the ills suffered by society since then. Believe me when I say, I never voted/asked for any of it.

Our first step out of this mess is a simple one, *Join Your Union* and fight for what is due to us all.

I’m a union member because I believe it's the right thing to do, not because I have a particular need for union support in my present workplace. But I am pleased to read the email I got today that tells me my membership helps pay to insure me in case I have an accident going to or from work.
