I got some good feedback from my post yesterday - even though I put it slapdashedly together, I was still complimented for writing really well. Eh, if only I could see it - it is OK, even good perhaps if I am being generous to myself, but really well? We will work on that particular self doubt a bit in the morning perhaps - five abdominal crunches, or the equivalent in being fair on your own writing maybe LOL.
And that was another thing I wanted to add, I know I am not the only person who doubts themselves so much, and I didn't want to make it sound like it was solely me who feels these things, but I was caught up too much in the moment of putting it down on paper and then was exhausted of thinking and hit a blank patch and then signed out, as I sometimes do, so didn't manage to put that thought down yesterday.
I feel I am becoming a better writer than my earlier entries maybe. Feedback through comments is ALWAYS welcome, especially on my writing ability. And yes, I do know that I can't sit back here, while an extra blog is created every second, waiting to be discovered from my obscure, fairly quiet, part of the net. At least I clean the place up regularly, by doing almost daily posts :)
Oh dear, stream of consciousness time again...
Just a quick Canberra aside for a paragraph - if the new industrial relations proposals put forward by the government are so good, why is it that employers with under a hundred staff won't have to adhere to the current unfair dismissal process? I can guess that the government is trying to say it will save paperwork for the small businesses, but doesn't the change implicitly mean if you sack someone 'unfairly' they don't have a right of reply?
And I just LOVE the new advertising for these 'WorkChoice' proposals. With the twangy guitars in the background, and the true Aussie battler voice in the foreground, it is just the merest inch this side of John Williamson's True Blue LOL. I thought that advertising like this was only for schemes that were embedded in law already (thinking Medicare primarily), not proposed legislation. Yes, I know the government has a majority in the Senate for the first time in like twenty years, but please, let's go through the proforma version of Australian democracy please?
There were three of those ads in one ad break on SBS tonight - yes, I know SBS actually have shows that run the whole way through and have longer ad breaks in between said programmes, but three in about six ads, it seems $20 mill can go a long way. And saying that new laws will make it easier for employers and employees to talk - like they don't talk at all now, yeah right.
The churches having a go at the government, saying relationships are more important than money, and both Labor and the government bringing their favourite Pope John Paul The Second quotes out to burnish their credentials on fairness, and then Howard saying job security is a big part of family security - hmmph, I better stop, just had a red flash go across my eyes LOL. So much for one paragraph.
