So that's the end of Work Choices and based on a 'mandate' from the election Labor has added a bunch of things they did not tell us about and given the Unions and the Workers unprecedented power.
Restaurant prices will have to rise to cover 'new' taxes under the hotel award system putting restaurants out of business as less people can afford to eat out.
Socialism takes a stronger grasp on the lives of average Australians.
All of this is good. Why? Well for a start there are a lot of strangely seduced followers of Labor who still think that "its all good" We need things in Australia to get really bad so that the whole country can hopefully get a big shock when things get really bad and realise that the experiment with Labor when things were going well under the other guys was a really bad choice.
So if they hold Queensland then Kevin will call and earlier election and probably get in for a second term. During that next term he will all but bankrupt Australia, unemployment will hit double figures and probably inflation the same. People will be poor, out of work and screaming for something to change.
Will all of this happen? Perhaps not but Australians have become so complacent that it really would take something shocking to snap them out of their dreamy malaise.
Socialism has failed in every form all around the world. Strangely there are still some woolly headed types that still believe in it and many of them are currently in power in Australia. To quote Pink Floyd we need to "give them a short sharp shock" to snap us away from them.
