579, "We can,t employ the world"

Labor and the feckless Greens imported thousands of economic migrants who swing from the guvvy teats years later. In such numbers that it requires all of the housing services and infrastructure of a new large coastal city each and every year. Those new migrants lob in the already overcrowded capitals, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, but the new services, Centrelink payments and infrastructure are required anyhow and those are much more expensive to supply in already overcrowded capitals.

Given that those who are already here prefer Centrelink and whining about their entitlements to doing some honest work, if the services, housing and infrastructure they require are to be provided, it is up to temporary workers from overseas.

For many year the builders I have dealt with have been forced to rely on overseas workers. It was the same on the farm where we often had to rely on unskilled but willing and trainable foreign students, and grey nomads who always seem up for some work.

The roofer fixing some loose ridge capping for me today employs two men form overseas that he is training. Good pay and plenty of rest breaks too. But he cannot get workers locally who will turn up at 7.00am each day.

The electrician who installed some switches and electrical appliances gave up his fleet of vans because it was no longer worth the hassle and definitely not worth the investment of employing staff.

I could give many other examples, such as in the country where a whole town of unemployed couldn't supply a few willing workers, male or female no problem, to slash firebreaks and tend to cattle grids and fencing. They prefer sit-down money. Yet there were some grey nomads who were grateful for the extra dollars and the farm workers cottages. Amazing to witness grey nomads overcoming rheumatoid arthritis to mount the tractors and their smiles when they quickly master the gear.

Meanwhile in town the many youths on sit down money hurl drunken abuse at travellers and steal from vehicles and trailers left parked.

Australia has changed.

'We can,t employ the world. '

probably the first time I have ever agreed with 579. Even more so we can't put all the world on the dole as Labour was, by encouraging all the illegal entries. Thankfully that has stopped.

Runner..Its not often you catch my attention...but I thought you promoted pro life....Iam confused:)

Kat

onthebeach..,...Its the bogans, or want to be bogans...Or the Ned-Kelly, jail want to be's are Australia's biggest threat. These people are anti-everything's...But that's the white pride they talk about, as they drag their knuckles behind them. See, They don't know any other life stile, thanks to the Governments of the past, so you cant blame them....I remember Australia of the past, it was I time to live, but now.....they are the forgotten people. They try to learn computers, they know the 80's or 70's or the 60's and so on....its the lay back life they know just too well, so have a thought....if not for them...The war veterans, the people that gave their blood and sole for this country.....But now times have changed, as you know.

I keep on saying...AUSTRALIA!....get smaller and smarter..and that's all I have to say.

Origins of Man,
That's what the Abbott Government is working on but first things first, silence the morons within the LNP then get on with it. The parental leave scheme is a massive mistake & so everyone tells us but if they got rid of that now it'd be a broken promise. No win with Australians is there ?
Freeze salaries at the 2007 level & be done with it.

People jump up & down with indignation at Pollies payrises but when there's a chance to discuss it & offer solution no-one seems to be interested. That makes the average citize no better than the pollies. Sad, very sad indeed !
