In Australia we have a new trend where employers are now getting around the issue of employees abusing the system at a later date by hiring everyone as casuals. This way, if you're sick and don't turn up for work, you don't get paid. If you turn out not to be a very good worker, no need for warnings, you can be let go with no consequences. Australian workers are so good at abusing the system, employers have decided to withdraw job security. The pay is a bit higher, but obviously it's still cheaper than paying workers who don't turn up.

Why we can't have good things, indeed...
