Abbott: "That whole raft of regulation .. I accept that that has largely
gone"
Original post: "So Tony Abbott thinks its ok to let a boss harass you "
(given the primary objective of a company is to make money, it reasonably
follows that the absence of regulation will result in a corresponding loss
of conditions for the employee ie the boss will harass the employee in the
single minded pursuit of profits).

Abbott: "the best protection for the worker who feels he or she might be
under pressure at his job is the chance of another job"
Original post: "all you have to do is GET ANOTHER JOB"

The original post reflected Abbotts comments.

> What Abbott said was absolutely accurate.

Yes it was. Absolutely accurate insight into Howard government thinking.
