foreigners taking the jobs that Aussie kids could get.
Waverley,
Don't fool yourself into thinking Aussie kids are interested. If they really were, they'd be doing the work already !
Much easier for them to go to Centrelink & spend their money on $800 tatoos & nose rings !

Right Plantagenet.

I won't argue against the crudeness behind immigration motivations.

You failed to acknowledge the primary usefulness of wealthy immigrants who are entirely used as a skewing leaver with a primary purpose of manipulating the housing market, particularly at the top end of the market, which is the location, location end.
No guesses who gain the greatest benefit from that golden handshake.

Also, as well pointed out above, not forgetting the dogs breakfast for private schools, subsidised by tax contributions from the lower end population, those without the benefit of off shore tax havens et al.

Keating and Hawke were the most devistating event Australian workers ever suffered. On their shift, away went Australian industry to Asia.
You couldn't be more derogatory towards those traitors then myself. No bite.

And as for your off topic analysis of Eden Monaro by election, I reiterate; who really gives a tinkers damn about them or their decrepit political Parties.
Certainly not this little black duck!

There are no "sides" in Au politics. It is rulers and plebeians.
Who knows, maybe a Chinese takeover would be actually a good thing. I can't see how a cigarette paper would fit between what we excuse as democratic, and the Chinese Communist party. Same mentality.

Dan

Come on Dan, you know as well as I do than the lower end population do not pay any tax. After all the subsidies & hand outs they receive more than they ever pay.

The last figures I saw were the top 10% of PAYE people pay 45% of the income tax, & the next 40% pay the rest.

Seriously, it is a bit of a worryu when one cannot see clear differences between Aust's political system and the model run by the CCP

Chris lewis,
It's distinct now but wait till Labor gets in again it'll be like the QLGA is now !

I wonder how many Chinese fishing boats will be a cover for Chinese spies monitoring activities around our coastline.
