Darwin award level winners at the don't ask you really, really don't want to know quality. Put it this way, if there was no WorkCover, we would have a collectively higher IQ in this country just because of the attrition rate in the automotive industry. The problem isn't necessarily that we keep losing tradesmen (I leave men on here because only males could be as stupid as some of the knuckleheads I worked with) in this country, it is the fact that the stupid ones keep getting safety good-luck charms and stay alive. Darwin was right, and the only way humans learn is by making mistakes. The mistake here is that we let stupid people stay alive. That will be at our detriment next war. At least in the past, we only sent the smartest cannon fodder, the rest were all killed BEFORE they enlisted. We got to the level we are at because only the strongest and smartest walking apes stayed alive. The rest got eaten by sabre toothed tigers, admittedly they were imortalised by becoming fossilised. Probably easier for rock headed people to be fossilised I guess. Wassa. wjlewington@xxxxxxxxxx WJL Consulting.

NONE of you want to know why WorkCover and the RTA decided that all buses (and coaches) should have this sticker placed on them before they can be registered...
