This week we heard GDP growth has dropped, yet we've just given ourselves a pay rise.  Does it really matter if the economy isn't growing as much as we would like and is GDP the best measure anyway? What will this mean for inflation? This week we give the economy a health check and look at what this all means for the future of jobs.

In the middle of a short backfill contract on ABC Radio Sydney late last year, journalist Antoinette Lattouf was abruptly sacked for sharing a Human Rights Watch post about Israel using starvation as a weapon of war. Now, Antoinette is taking the ABC to Fair Work Australia, claiming wrongful termination. With a private mediation hearing ending today without resolution, she says she will "fight for as long as it takes", and “will always advocate and fight for an ABC that can operate and inform the masses, inform and entertain the masses without fear or favour".

Deputy president of Fair Work Australia Lyndall Dean has said compulsory vaccinations for workers would create ""medical apartheid" in the nation. Ms Dean was dissenting from a majority judgement that upheld the right of a nursing home to sack a worker who refused vaccination. So, can mandatory vaccinations for workers be introduced in an ethical way?

It’s a tough time for the country’s economy and that makes Fair Work Australia's upcoming decision on whether to grant a pay increase to those on the minimum wage, especially important.

There is a question I get asked a couple of times a week: How do I build a team? When I’m asked this question, people aren’t always referring to their clinical team, often they’re talking about their admin team. I am a big fan of bringing admin into the business before you bring in clinical teammates because if you bring a clinician in first, guess what doubles? The admin. It may seem like a simple question to ask, but building the right team, at the right time, is key to building a successful allied health business. In this episode, I chat about: The Business Legal Lifecycle: How to Successfully Navigate Your Way from Start-Up to Success by Jeremy Streten (click here for an interview I did with Jeremy on the podcast) Building a team vs building staff Understanding what it means to employ independent contractors vs employees The pros of independent contractors vs casual employees Using the ATO and Fair Work Australia websites to ensure compliance Investing in advice from a HR professional Useful links:  nfo@nacre.com.au  Cathy Love LinkedIn Nacre Website Private Practice Made Perfect Podcast

The Australian Building and Construction Commission, the ABCC, was well armed and tough. This was especially so for the bully-boy unions in Victoria and Western Australia, where builders had to pay for peace, says Andrew Bolt. KPMG says that as a result the community was $5.9 billion a year better off. Labor promised to get rid of it in the 2007. Kevin Rudd didn’t move fast enough for the union bosses. Money talks. At the last election the Electrical Trades Union gave a $325,000, not to Labor, but to the Greens. You see, the Greens had opportunistically promised to help abolish the ABCC. Its failure? It had brought peace to the construction industry. The union bosses - and the Greens - didn’t like that. Presumably the ABCC was doing terrible things to the environment. Or do the Greens support thugs punching police horses? As Andrew Bolt says, Julia Gillard understood this unsubtle message. She delivered.. The powerful ABCC was wound up . Almost as soon as this happened, the thugs were out on the streets. Just as the people smugglers took their cue from Rudd and Gillard winding up the Pacific solution. The ABCC was replaced with the Fair Work Building and Construction agency. There’s that word “fair” again. It means weak and useless. This is the tactic of the Gillard and Rudd governments. They create powerless agencies like Fair Work Australia. Remeber Fair Work Australia took over three years to investigate Craig Thomson and the Health Services Union. Even then they didn't produce a brief on evidence the prosecutors could use. Remember too, the powerless Corgill inquiry into the five or so billion dollars BER rort. Compare that with the open powerful Royal Commission into the Australian Wheat Board under a respected judge which John Howard established. He also agreed that if the judge needed additional terms of reference these would be given. The hearings gave Kevin Rudd an evening TV platform to attack the government. But John Howard did the right thing Is it the government doesn’t know what it is doing? Or are open borders, thugs on the streets and thugs ruling the construction industry part of the Gillard government agenda?

Industry super funds are the new rivers of gold for the union bosses. The question must be why won’t the government insist they be properly run. If they go bust it will be the workers w ho will lose. Julia Gillard and Bill Shorten won't lose a cent. And this is a Labor government. Employers will soon be paying 12% of wages by way of superannuation. By 2025, industry funds are expected to control assets of $1.5 trillion. Despite a massive fall in membership there are now twice as many union bosses as in 1975. The ratio of bosses to members is five times that of Britain’s. They are very well rewarded, these bosses. And not just in their wages. They can look forward to being life-time beneficiaries of that well known rort, “jobs for the boys”. You name it, jobs on government boards, jobs on commissions, seats in parliament, with of course, generous taxpayer funded superannuation - their political friends, the party machines and the factions will ensure these generous benefits will be accessible. In the meantime we’ve seen complaints that union funds are being diverted to pay for such things as holidays for friends and relatives, private school fees and even for prostitutes. There are claims that contracts have been awarded in return for massive secret commissions. And as Jeffrey Babb says in Newsweekly (7/7/12), most workers don’t know that unlike public servants and politicians , their superannuation is not guaranteed. If there aren't lucky enough to be in an industry fund that goes bust they lose their retirement savings. He says one of the best performing super funds almost collapsed following the global financial crisis. The problem is the union bosses are being supported by their mates in the Gillard government. A Labor government is actually refusing to accept standards that apply to everybody else in the financial sector. And why has Minister Bill Shorten rejected a proposal that one third of trustees on industry funds be independent? Is he just looking after the interests of his union mates? In America this scandal would be before a grand jury. In Britain a Royal Commission. But in this country, the government has given us Fair Work Australia. Stop the union bosses rorts. Sign the petition on our site www.cando.org . And join us in demanding a convention to change the constitution to make the politicians accountable on every day in every week of every month and in every year. Not just every three or four years.

What is this presumption of innocence Julia Gillard is going on about? It only applies criminal trials. It means the Crown has to prove its case. Beyond reasonable doubt. It doesn't apply in relation to Fair Work Australia. The onus there is on the employer. And who was responsible for this? Julia Gillard. And it was Julia Gillard’s Fair Work Australia which spent over three years investigating Craig Thomson.. They found 167 breaches. Approximately half $1 million taken from the union. By Craig Thompson, they said Julia Gillard told the ACTU that this distressed her. It dismayed her. It disgusted her. When she came back from Europe she said the line had been crossed. So Craig Thomson was suspended from the ALP. So why is she should talking about a presumption of innocence? A principle which only applies in criminal trials. There was no presumption of innocence against the commandant Of the Australian Defence Forces Academy when Minister Stephen Smith objected to the prosecution of a female cadet going ahead. A process subsequently found to be proper. There was no presumption of innocence by Labor when they joined in a witch-hunt against former Governor- General Peter Hollingworth. There was no presumption of innocence when allegations were made against ministers in the Howard government over the so-called "children overboard" affair and the wheat board scandal. It is ridiculous to use a principle which applies only in the criminal law to the legitimate discussion of the standards of performance standards of performance of our politicians. The parties and factions have taken a stranglehold on our political life. By doing so they have minimised the role and function of the people - as envisaged in our constitution. The proper answer is for a process to be established to allow the people by petition to recall any or all members of Parliament. This would have to be done by a vote triggered by a petition supported by an adequate number of electors. The good sense of the Australian people will of course ensure that this is not abused. After all it was the people of the several states who, as the preamble says, “ relying upon the blessings of Almighty God “ agreed to unite in our indissoluble Federal Commonwealth under the crown . It's the people's Commonwealth. The people’s country. It doesn't belong to Julia Gillard or the politicians. Give us back our country!

Last night, after and investigation taking longer than the Korean War, Fair Work Australia released its findings on former Secretary of the Health Services Union, Craig Thompson - something CANdo has been consistently campaigning for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-PVwloHUWs http://www.cando.org.au/campaign-hub/current-campaigns/25-stop-the-union-bosses-rorts How what appears to be essentially an open and shut case took so long is beyond comprehension! When all of this is over, there should be a Royal Commission into FWA. Is our independent umpire playing politics? Has the Gillard government been applying political pressure on FWA to keep a lid on its findings? For someone earning $40000 a year, $600 in union fees is a significant amount of money. To see an official report finally finding massive corruption by union officials and that Craig Thomson MP gave false and misleading information must disturb not only HSU members. All union members must be concerned. No union is subject to proper regulation. No union operates under the standards which apply to corporate Australia. Why has the government for so long done nothing? Why has Julia Gillard and Bill Shorten allowed union bosses to treat their members' money as some sort of personal piggy bank? Stop the Union Bosses Rorts!
