WorkChoices section

Reconsider the static, you can read about "loaded words" within Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy (WP:NPV). Initially, the sentence in question was written like this: "Prime Minister John Howard condemned Priceline and other firms seeking to fire workers and rehire at lower wages, "operational reasons are not and should never be seen as code for saying, 'Well I'll get rid of "X" because I'm paying him $100,000 a year so I can employ "Y" at $80,000 a year.'"

Use of the term "condemned" is emotive language (i.e. loaded word). While you have removed this word, I must ask what purpose the sentence has in summarising the case in a neutral tone?

It's important to not take a quote out of context. If you check the citation of the quote you will be able to see the remainder of that quote which is: "There has to be a bona fide operational reason. And that of course has always been in the law." This repeats what is already summarised in the 'WorkChoices' section.Smallworldsocial (talk) 09:43, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Hmm you make a valid point. I've reverted the changes. -Reconsider | speak 10:51, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Further improvements

The article has undergone a number of edits since the COI tag was put up on May 2010. Considering that Wiki's COI policy is in place to discourage editors violating policies such as neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, is the COI tag still relevant to the current state of the article? In the article's current form, the COI guidelines have been met and the article seems to be neutral and reliably sourced. Does anyone have any suggestions to ensure this article's tone or style meets Wiki's guidelines? Smallworldsocial (talk) 05:33, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
