are the parrots gettin a pay rise?

[merv]

I've said before that in 30 years the pay rates of MPs has doubled compared to the poor teachers and now they are going to race away further. There is no justice in that nor are they worth it.

I wholly agree that they're not worth it. Too busy raising finance to buy and sell stuff on the market to notice that their "staff" are having an awkward time of it because the economy is shit... Fuckem, the money for pay rises is theirs, tough shit everyone else, now do your fuckin jobs and earn them more for when then give up their housing subsides (worth up to $24,000?)... They live in a different fuckin world where financial penalties and the laws are the answer to everything . Except none of that seems to apply to them, because they're in the service of their country? gah!!!

rant over

I would prefer they got 20K/year and everything else was paid for.
Free airfares.
Free accommodation.
Free food.

See how many do it for anything bar salary.

"Look", said Janet. "I see a troll".
"Look", said John. "I see a troll, too".
"See the troll run", said Janet.
and so on and so forth.

Aw, come on, be fair.

As always, the teachers struggle to maintain rolling industrial action, due to the constant interuption by holidays. It's not easy for them...

[Mudfart]

lets not forget that other certain govt dept employees only got offered what the teachers have been offered, and accepted it.
ive noticed our old friend the roadworks have been slow to start this year, the kick ass weather has surprised everyone. for the last 20 years, its been ass chilling cold til xmas day. apparently el ninio, la ninia AND global pollution issues are resolved.
its been awesome to see all the bikes out. and on my new machine i get waves from cruisers and racers. hopefully NOT because they think im a chick.

Those who know DO. Those who don't TEACH. I have yet to see a first world country where the primary and secondary schooling standards are as god-awful as New Zealand. They want a pay rise for what???

Its alright. Secondary teacher's big brains have allowed them to develop a strategy whereby being totally selfish and denying any need for parity with Primary or Early Childhood collegues means their demands are affordable!
Nurses? Fuck them. Me me me. Now now now.
