Australians at large have brought it upon themselves.

On the one hand they have demanded better working conditions, higher wages and flexibility within the workplace, giving little or no regard for the employers while, on the other hand they have abandoned Australian businesses by buying cheaper imported foods, white goods and electronics, or, flown on over seas flights at the cheapest price available,despite the factbthat our national carriers pays around 20% above national rates and far more than these cheaper airlines.

I have said it many times and will say it again, you can't have your cake and eat it.

The people are as much to blame as anyone else.
