<blockquote rel="Nadine">Most of the healthcare professionals I work with are not very optimistic about Abbott. Sabi nga nung ibang older nurses kaninang umaga sa ward: "here we go again!".
Ang problema ngayon kasi he is pressured by the very people who is supporting him. Eto yung mga employers and retail businesses na gusto scrap ang penal rates for overtime and weekend/holidays. Guess sino kawawa? Syempre, ang simpleng manggagawa who actually has to work sundays and holidays, to make ends meet. With present overtime rates, you can receive up to 250% of your base pay kasi. Pag yun nawala, ang laking bawas sa earnings. Pero ang laking savings ng mga businesses.
Another is his paternity leave. Ok sana to. Kaso lang, may plan pala syang pagbabago sa maternity leave na ang mag benefit are those earning >150k annually. Naku, sino lang ba sa atin ang ganyan ang kinikita? Taas kamay.
Tsaka, ewan ko ba, I don't have a very good impression of him when I first heard his interview. I really hope he proves to be better than that interview. Kasi he came off like... almost racist, really.
On the upside, he will probably be earning millions (or maybe bilions) for australia. But that will mean he has to cut jobs, cut on a lot of benefits. Si Kevin Rudd kasi, spends a lot. Kaya inaayawan na labour. But I'm thinking (and correct me guys if I'm wrong), if yung spending is going to healthcare, infrastructure, jobs, then it's ok right.
At least Abbott and Rudd, are both anti-boat people. </blockquote>
Syempre kung anu ang policies ng new government yun ang priorities. Means may mga government department talaga na maapektuhan. But I reckon everything will be alright. Let see by next year January or february kung Gaganda ulit ang economy ng Australia. Staka kung nandito kana mas madali na para sa iyo to apply ng PR basta sundin mo ang tamang proseso.
ito pala ang ang major policies ng coalition:
