Poem: Instructions to the Little Aussie Battler

Wednesday, July 3, 1996 - 10:00

Work harder.

Make someone else redundant.

This is efficiency.

Competition is our salvation.

This way we cost our betters less.

One day we'll be internationally competitive

and get paid a dollar

for a fourteen hour day.

Then we'll understand what world best practice means.

P. Tomlin
