It's bad enough that the Gillard Government throws money at car makers for little apparent reward. But this kind of corporate welfare is unforgivable: VODAFONE will create 750 new jobs at a Tasmanian call centre in a Federal Government-backed plan to move the telco's offshore jobs to the Apple Isle. Prime Minister Julia Gillard will today announce a $4 million package that will enable the Kingston Vodafone Hutchinson call centre to double the number of permanent employees to 1500. Why stop there if you think governments should be subsidising employment? Why not pay employers to create hundreds of thousands of more jobs? Why stop here? What this really means is the transfer of money from healthy, job-creating businesses to sick ones.
