Well, what kind of proof did you want from Batfink? Would you like to speak with his accountant?

I love how a guy who can't tell the difference between you're/your is trying to differentiate complicated fiscal policies.

](*,) ](*,) LOL...oh yeah that will do it........dear oh dear.....:cry: :cry: :cry:

i can't be fucked worrying about it.......:d :d

i love a guy who pontificates about insignificant issues as if they are paramount in ascertaining someone's worth....lol.....


but hey 10 points for trying......\:d/ \:d/

It's pretty easy to show in a single document that no payment had been received for work completed.

There are still a few preliminary questions that were ignored, though. A big one being what the process would be if the same thing happened with private money as opposed to public stimulus money.

Just because there are jobs out there doesn't mean that they're in skilled areas that you are trained in. Yeah, there are are jobs out there for tradesmen, but I'm not a tradesman. And yeah, there are jobs out there in the mining sector, but I've got no idea about working in mining.

My area is hospitality, it's an industry I know very well. But right now businesses are cutting their hours because it's winter and they're quiet, businesses are going under and 2/3 of the businesses in the CBD are on the market.

"Go and get a job" he says, having not weighed into the job market for the last 15 years. Out of touch asshole.

Well if you can't grasp a basic concept like the difference between you're and your, a concept which is so simple they teach it to 8 year olds, how on earth are we to believe that you can competently comprehend the complicated nuances of politics?

Meanwhile, in Wagga

i fail to see if it happened with private money that it would change the fact that the government didn't pay me or the builder????

Did you see any actual documents proving that the government didn't pay the builder, or were you just taking the builder on their word.

Do you want to question all 300 contractors?

why are these businesses are quite???? other than winter, is this the first time you have had issues finding employment in your chosen field?? what is your chosen field....be specific...... so in this great economy why is it that businesses are going under and 2/3 are on the market???

Please Afro if it really means that much to you i will take the time and make an effort, i am truly sorry, but once again just because someone's English isn't perfect it doesn't mean they can't understand politics or anything else for that matter.......say i was dyslexic???? does that make me stupid??? KO...;)

Constantly posting links to Mudoch articles that don't answer the questions I'm asking really doesn't further the discussion.

:shock: :shock: Really Matt don't be such a fuckwit........

i feel really sorry for you....seriously....


yes i saw the contract reconciliation along with the variation register.......

and i suppose waiting 7 months for payment is acceptable......and drawings issued to contractors marked up with felt tip markers is also professional??

Just keep going on your merry way, convinced everthing this government does is gold and ignoring all presented examples to the contrary....

You know if you actually read my post, all your questions would be answered.

why so defensive...i did read you post...perhaps if you actually read mine you could have answered.....hospitality is a pretty wide scope.....do you wait tables, manage a bar....mix bands.....work in a kitchen....bounce the door???? all very valid questions

perhaps it's time to get some toher training, it's available to you, considering that business have had to change retrain and reshape can't see why it's so hard for individuals to do the same?

Over the last 5 years I've done work as a bouncer, bussy, bartender, KP, audio engineer, bar manager...I've done pretty much everything but chef.

have you any formal qualifications in any of these area's??

I've got a cert IV in Hospitality and a degree in audio.

hard to believe you can't find a job? (not being smartarse)is it really tight in your sector?? or you have a job but are looking???

Because it's Winter and businesses are quieter - less customers, takings, etc. - companies are cutting their staff rather than hiring. So there are less jobs around.

I'm looking to leave my current bar because I'm having issues with the owner and getting paid properly.

Erm, perhaps read the last page where I was critical of the government for cutting tertiary funding?

Nothing you have posted points at fault with the government, rather than dodgy builders not dispersing funds.

You have called the BER program 'highly successful', which is clearly isn't.
So whose responsibility is it to oversee the dodgy builders? The government initiates the program, then just walks away and leaves them to it but it's failure isn't the governments fault? They have no responsibility to oversee the correct use of taxpayer funds at all? Are you serious?

i see...yes that's an issue.... my brother is a sound engineer and works a few pubs doing front of house....some of the owners are grubs and stuff him around.....the industry i would say...the type of people who are in it......

you sound experienced and should have no problem finding something, good luck with it....

i read an article recently about christine mansfield and how she has closed down her restaurants because of the cost of operating and the wage explosion and there are many others following....i guess there needs to be a balance.....i am fortunate i have great staff and they regard me as a great employer as we work together and get good outcomes....i treat my people like i would like to be treated.....i suppose in here i take offense to a lot when people critisise employers and businesses....but i am starting to realise that i/we are not the norm.....i look after my people really good and they go above and beyond so it's all good..........

Owners are just greedy, they live like kings when the going is good and then they're not willing to live within their means when the going isn't good.

It's not the industry, there are great jobs out there. But the great jobs are occupied by people who work there for a long time. And often when people move on they hire people that they know.

i can't say i have ever come across a more pig headed person then Matt Morris.....](*,) ](*,) ](*,)

another of your conclusions..."dodgey builder" get a grip they are a trusted company that i have worked with for 20 years, they have never squibbed on my account and have always been open and transparent, neither of us did anything wrong, the BER was a sham and plenty of people were fucked over....if you choose to pretend that's not the case well so be it....
but don't start your shit by trying to discredit what anyone else who has experienced it....

maybe in you limited comprehension it's all as pure as the driven snow but i have been there and you are completely wrong about the BER and the solar scheme and very soon the NBN will run right off the rails as it already had started to disrail........keep dreaming Matt....](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)

you sound just like my brother...lol....never really has been much money in the sound industry.....what qualifications as a sound engineer do you have????
