Business leaders should stop whinging about Australia’s competitiveness

http://www.theguardian.com/business...top-whinging-about-australias-competitiveness

"Instead of putting the onus on the government, business should look at how it can improve capital productivity"

"However, as I reported last week, mining investment consultants Behre Dolbear judge Australia as second only to Canada as the best place for mining investment. Similarly the most recent report by the World Bank onease of doing business ranked Australia as 11th out of 189 nations. Canada was ranked 19th and Guinea was rather well behind in 175th place.

And we shouldn’t think mining operations in Africa are always profitable endeavours. Yesterday Rio Tinto sold its coal assets in Mozambique for US$50m, having bought them in 2010 for a whopping $4bn. Ouch."

It would if we had not had the changes to IR law which took us back to 1996 under the Rudd/Gillard?rudd genius era.

Problem ultimately is the corporate structure that rewards the wrong things.

Cutting jobs saves money - it doesn't make any. But if you get your timing right (and many slimy executive c**ts do) you can walk in, impress the board with your ability to be a hard arse, and walk out with a hefty bonus.

The other issue is the board members are often dumber that the guys they employ.

I'm sorry but that's in regards to mining just not true. How much we pay workers in that industry has very little to do with investment. Stability and technology are the key. The industry is moving toward increasingly automated model.

New bloke starting at NAB has axed three execs.

About fucking time that the fish heads got the chop instead of the actual workers.. How many meetings does an organisation actually need?

What was the New York Post trying to do, sell more newspapers or empower terrorists? Whatever their motive I'm sure they've achieved both. The Murdoch Media has outdone itself with its front page images of decapitated journalist, James Foley. It has become the gutter-sucking bottom-dweller of journalism, the epitome of bad taste, exploitive sensationalism, bias and hate. People are incensed...but decent, ethical journalists around the world will no doubt be outraged and appalled by such shabby, insensitive, disrespectful and opportunistic treatment of one of their own.
