Letters to the Editor Shit Sheets
Dear Sir, What is Australia post coming to, with its "Sheet for Shit Campaign"? I personally I had phantasms taking me back many years when as a child we were required rather than go up the chimney ,or down the mine , we could chose to lick the "Penny Blacks" , for genteel post office patrons. While this may seem to some of your readers a menial and meaningless task, one must remember that their was no gummed stamps and the saliva had to be of a consistency think enough to cling to the envelope, and it was discovered that , the phlegm from consumptive children was of an ideal consistency. And of course, if we have the current standards of the New South Wales Department of Community Services to benchmark child care, then on the whole, it was quite a stretching but satisfying position. Perhaps this is just another thread in the Federal government's path back to the good old days? The allegation that Mr Feltcher , is joking is outrageous , and I agree with Phil McCracken , Manager at the Male exchange , "that we must get to the bottom of this" The consensus on the shop floor is that Aussie Post has just gone too far, and stretched of Patience repair, this is the type of behaviour that the minister for workplace relations should be investigating, particularly the apparent excessive use of sun block during the winter months. I am sorry , but this situation , not unlike the "Mutual Obligation " introduced by Amanda Firestone , in an attempt to play around with the unemployed , has gone to far and gotten completely out of hand , perhaps through excessive use of sun block. But no matter, I intend to do may part by speaking to the media officer of this union, we know from experience I the Penrith area , he has a way with 'tools. I also believe this problem needs further probing, and perhaps "Sharon Burrows should , along with Greg Sword, enter into this stinking morass , of shopfloor politics. Tom Collins
