From smh:

The Prime Minister has urged Australians to recognise the demise of the five-day working week in the face of Labor forecasts that the Government's workplace reforms would erode families' work-life balance.

I just can't find words...

I wonder how far one has to go in voicing disapproval of the laws our current government ramming through in (almost) complete secrecy (propaganda campaigns running on the order of $50 million don't count when they don't provide any of the details of the legislation) before one is considered seditious?

Anyway, continuing in my theme of providing links to well-written pieces about why WorkChoices is a bad thing, I bring you mgk's experiences in the US, which provide a great practical example of what's wrong with these laws.

Incidentally, as far as I know the proposed law won't affect me at all. My abhorrence of these laws has nothing at all to do with how it's going to affect me personally, and everything to do with the negative impacts the laws are likely to have on society as a whole.

I could write a badly-written disjointed summary of why I don't like the workchoices package.

Or, I could just tell you to go read a well written one.
