The demand by Australian unions to turn, it seems, all jobs into ‘permanent’ has been mugged in the blink of Covid eye reality. The ACTU’s campaign against ‘insecure work’ is illogical.     

When planes can’t fly, ‘permanent’ airline jobs also ‘fly’. Empty hotels mean an emptying out of permanent hospitality jobs. When cruise ships no longer cruise, the impermanency of every ship job hits home.
