Hi all
Well this is my first real rant for a while so I will start with a simple one.
Tasmanian State Politicians - Morons or Just complete Idiots ???
Today is supposedly a National Public Holiday. Well supposedly
Here in Tasmania, our Legislative Council, voted to be different to
the rest of the nation and refuse the people of the state a long
weekend. Ok this is understandable, for a LOCAL, holiday..
Like I am all in favor of losing cup day or show day from the calendar.
But AANZAC Day!!!
While the rest of the nation are watching football, or gardening or
doing what ever leisure activity they so desire. Tasmanians are
WORKING and we are not being compensated for it.
I normally deal with mainland vendors in either Melbourne, Sydney
or Perth but not today. We don't get that option, and so I end up not
being able to do the work I am being paid for. The rest of Australia
are on Holidays, or those not are being paid penalty rates or accruing
time in lieu.
Tasmanians.. well we are being shafted, by overpaid egomaniacs who
have no economic management skills and are making no real
contribution to the best interests of our state, nation or the health and
well being of their constituents. Am I HARSH - Yes Harsh but Fair.
Take away Show Day ( antiquated institute that no longer is required
in this day and age where we also have AGFEST, which holds truer to
the spirit of the original show society of bringing the country to the city )
Take away Cup Day ( Elitist clap trap, for those who can afford to dress
up and parade about believing they are superior, but only showing they
are drunken idiots )
But leave National Holidays alone. ( Lest we forget )

I have to say that I'm with the Legislative Council on this one...Anzac Day should be celebrated on the day...not a day after!
ReplyDeleteWe didn't get a public holiday for Anzac Day last year (nor any other year that Anzac Day has fallen on a weekend)...don't see why the rest of the country should start observing it now.
In my opinion, having a day off after Anzac Day only reduces the significance of the day itself.
