And by the way, it wasn't as simple as you could just sack people for the sake of it.

Actually it happened to me. I was sacked for standing up for other employees that they were trying to make quit. I didn't do anything, i had just been given a big pay rise for working hard and they fired me on the spot with no reason at all. We were already 2 staff downa nd i was working 9-10 hour days to make up for it aswell as weekends.
When I took them to court the commisioner took me aside and told me that I can't sue them for unfair dismissal or fight for my job back because they have less than 100 employees. And even though they fired me for standing up for other staff (Unlaweful termination) I had to prove that this was the reason that they fired me. The only way to do that was to have it in writing or a recording of them saying it.
Neither of which they would give me.
They also decided to fire my boss for no reason and the IT guy and now the secretary.
Now explain to me how that is good? I understand where you are coming from that there are bludgers out there doing as little as possible and cruising through though. Personally The laws before were to for employees and the new laws are WAY to much for employers. Hopefully KRudd will change it to a more overall fair laws.
However this doesn't help me. (And please if you going to say "You probably deserved it, blah blah" don't its a touchy subject and think of how you would feel if this happened to you and almost cost you your house)

Its not always so black and white my friend. In my case we were run by a committee. A committee that was voted in every year. A committee of unqualified people with all the control. If they don't like you (as was the case with the staff I was standing up for) they can sack you for no reason. As they did.
Good worker or not you are replacable.
