Australian workers set to be screwed big time.

[Blackburn]

The Right wing has managed to get all the white trash (bogans) up in arms about the Labor government introducing a carbon Tax.

This will most likely cost them the next election.

Which is when they will introduce their 'final solution' to deal with the working class.

Sorry I mean 'Industrial relations reform'.

Codenamed: Workchoices.

The last time it was implemented, a national chain of 'lighting' retails reformed their workplace: All workers lost overtime pay and all benefits for a 6 cents an hour raise. They were told to sign the new agreement or be unemployed.

It's the beginning of the end of the 'lucky country' mythos.

And it will be voted in by the same working class it will affect.

[Blackburn]

"White trash" is a trendy insult which should only be used by condescending liberals not revolutionaries. The fact is that many of these "bogans" are probably working class people, and among them there are reactionary consciousnesses which pervade their thought. But you shouldn't isolate them in that manner, instead work to destroy those reactionary consciousnesses and bring together the proletariat.

If you see something like this happening, don't just sit there start agitating the workers against the victory of the liberal party. Convince these "bogans" that their interests as workers are more important than a carbon tax.

Bogan is a derogatory term for a certain section of the working class, like chav it was typified by attire but is now used as a slur against working class people in general.

What's this "white trash" bullshit? Bit fucking prejudiced no! Why hit poor people with insults while they are down?

[Sperm-Doll Setsuna]

Carbon tax is also a regressive tax and surely the businesses will find little loopholes while the working class is stuck paying for it, all the while alternatives like public transportation get more expensive too, where investment therein aren't ignored altogether.

[Jose Gracchus]

The carbon tax is a liberal fine-tuning mechanism that (of course) attacks the living standards of the working-class first-and-foremost.
