Bend over and take it from John Howard!

Ladies' man...

For all Joe Hockey's bluster about the 'average' worker being better off under the Howard governments WorkChoices legislation, the news that casual workers on AWAs are, on average, $4.70 per hour worse off reveals that the workers with the least power and the least rights are the ones getting screwed the most. 'Negotiate' with your employer my arse. Females who work full time earn $2.30 per hour less, and females who work part time on an AWA are $3.70 per hour worse off.

Certainly not the sort of conditions that I'll ever vote for. No woman in their right mind would vote for a Liberal government.
