But go ahead and blame it unions, it just easier.

We used to have some of the cheapest electricity prices in the world which gave our industries a big advantage, but now they are one of the most expensive. A big thank you needs to go out to the useless greenies.

Spot on as the wages only make up 17% of the cost so taking a $200 a week pay cut will achieve very little. For those that didn't see National Press Club on the ABC today was a good insight to where today's unions are at.
