[@Burthstone] In Australia we had (Well have, but that's going to change) this thing called permanency. And for the teachers and EA's it was great, because it meant they'd have permanent positions in school. Lately the government has realised that this is a very easy way for staff members to become complacent so they're removing it. Everyone will have to apply for contracts now and will need to re-apply for them.

That doesn't effect me because I only work relief, so I'm not contracted. I'm just the guy they call when someone is sick.

Be honest

The government is screwed.

Honestly I was guaranteed a nursing job and that's another reason why I'm not doing nursing anymore. They would rather bring in foreign nurses (nothing against them but employ within Australia first!) then new students.

The government sucks
