Howard Channels Mao
Yes, it’s time for Chairman Howard’s great leap forward. Those damn baby boomers are getting older, and as they age they’re getting persnickity, demanding things like health care and retirement security. In order to ensure that every Australian does his bit (not her bit; women need to stay home and have babies), the PM is relying on a new generation of wage slaves, workers who won’t balk at working unpaid overtime or giving up some of their holidays. It’s never been clearer what he’s after, and if you haven’t guessed, it’s to reduce your pay and your ability to obtain working conditions favorable to a work-life balance. What’s the term here? Sea changer? Forget it, your country needs you.
