With the work choices system now in place both american and australian film and television productions can throw out safety requirements, fair working conditions, reward rates for overtimes and public holidays and proper payment for hard work.
Simply put, jobs that used to pay $40 an hour because of the complexity of them can now be paid $15, in fact, everybody can be paid $15, pay can be whatever the production wants, and screw working conditions, fairness, worker safety or caring about the people who work for you at all.
This is funny because i work in both the film industry and the hospitality industry and people are getting screwed at both ends, at the pub i USED to work at they forced everyone on to AWA's, i've since been removed from that place of employment, for what i'm not sure, they don't have to give a reason, or extra wages for working on sundays, or past midnight, or in dangerous times and locations. A good friend who used her weekend bonus's to pass rent had to quit to work in a factory for twice as many hours to now pay the rent. Along with about ten other people who have had to quit, I was shafted, we were all shafted, and it's not isolated incidents, it's everywhere and every one. So basically if you voted liberal you basically shafted one or more of your mates, so to all liberal voters
F**K YOU.
