Government handouts

Good to see the Commonwealth Government handing out billions of dollars - keep it coming my way.

However, I was very disappointed to see that the State Government has put a freeze on recruiting new public servants.

We have been flat out for the past few weeks. With planning meetings for the AFL grand final office activities and now advance preparations for the Melbourne Cup it has been a real stretch. Our tea lady hasn't been replaced since July and now it looks like we will be waiting forever.

The amount of time I spend getting a cup of tea is really cutting into my productivity.

Now if you could just think up a way to get the new First Home Buyers money for a place you build yourself, you'll be just about able to retire won't you Whitey?

Hmmm - perhaps the three kids could build a house each?

Hey Whitey - I share your concern about the recruitment cutbacks, and the workload. People seem to forget that between the Queen's birthday and Christmas we have only one public holiday. Its really tough (to say nothing of the burden on the sick leave system). We shouldn't really be expected to have so many five-day weeks!

Keep up the fine work - you are a role model to us all!!! (and I hope the three nippers enjoy their new homes - kids are never too young to move out of home).
