Except the corporations are fighting to cut penalty rates and other benefits right this very second..
How does this an any way, shape, or form serve as a valid and adequate rebuttal or response to what has transpired in the last few posts?

Its not 1902, but they wish it was.
Gina rhinehart has already said australian workers should be more competitive with african workers who work for $3 an hour..
So she can make more profit..
She has been the worlds richest woman about 15 times.
A rich Australian woman has an opinion. One that you presumably don't like even.
Ok? and?
Now the 80 hour work week will come back, living conditions will regress to that of 100 years ago, and the productivity gains and innovations will disappear?
Now government hampering the economy is good and economic freedom is bad?
I'm not buying it.
Its entirely possible, plausible and reasonable that certain Australian jobs and labor costs are not permanently competitive in the global market of particular industries and that they will have to adapt and reduce labor costs.
Recognizing some Africans are willing to work for less is not evil or mean someone has no morals or empathy.
Her statements and observations of fact are existing in a non-free market btw.
In many countries the government has artificially inflated labor costs to the detriment of workers and employers alike, and potential workers who will be without a job or have to take a worse one.
You have some pie in the sky dream that government can save you from economic realities and everything is always feel good tropes and high wages vs evil rich people.
Carrying on about this woman and her facts/opinions you dont like does nothing to support your previous absurd claims about history, free markets and economic freedom.
