In the 90s I was working part time doing a job that took me to many
smallish restaurants, clubs etc. A large number of these were run by
Chinese and they only had Chinese staff. Only those on the counter spoke English.
In the clubs they contracted to the clubs to run the kitchen & restaurant.
At a couple of them I asked the club manager what happened to the
Australian staff that used to run the kitchen.
They all got the sack. They said they were doing a good job but he had
some problems where he found some kitchen staff were sleeping in the club.
This was before the law about illegal employees I think.

No, some of us are civilised and some are "developing".

We are animals. Tribal, territorial animals. Get over it.

Banjo, I don't often thank you for anything, buts thanks for posting the link to the SMH for Ludwig. I am a daily reader of the SMH @ $2.30 a throw.
Moving on, a troubling spin off from this widespread immigration fraud, must be the rapid rise in Australian unemployment. The troubling Abbott Government have manage to push Australia's "official" unemployment level to a 12 year high of 6.4%. Its well known that the true figure is far higher than that official figure, add in all the hidden unemployed plus the under employed and the figure easily doubles. Not since the years of the incompetent Howard Government with, Abbott as the then Minister for Employment, has Australia seen these terrible numbers.
With no policies or plans in place to tackle the problem of the unemployed, and add in the governments incompetence at tackling illegal migrations and the future looks bleak for the increasing numbers of Australian's without a job.

You are rather too keen to blame everyone except Labour.

Actually as I have been trying to get you all to realise, it does not
matter who runs the government so long as the cost of energy keeps rising.
The unemployment figure, is as close to certain as you can get, to keep
rising.

While government hides the reports and ignores those it cannot hide
we get closer to the time that it is too late and we will then have
catastrophic levels of unemployment.

There will be just two options, either government will impose
draconian emergency rule or it will be a bottom up restructure where
communities act on their own behalf to cope with common needs.

That is where we are going while government is too frightened to even
acknowledge that there is a problem.

As someone said;
Energy IS the economy Stupid !

Bazz, I do not believe the installation of Shorten and co onto the government benches would do a lot to improve the situation. No more than rearranging the deck chairs did on the 'Titanic'.
Was Rudd and Gillard all that different from Howard and Abbott, I do not believe so. None of them do any more than tinker at the edges, offering a band aid solution at best. They have no great desire for meaningful social or economic change.
You rightly say <<it does not matter who runs the government so long as the cost of energy keeps rising. The unemployment figure, is as close to certain as you can get, to keep rising.>> Both Labor and Liberal are captives of Capitalism and believe the 'free market' will find a way. Abbott is totally destitute of ideas in government to address the issue and Shorten would be blind to it in both eyes.

Piorot,
Since the Siev X sinking, and all the lies the advocates told about that, I do not believe a damn thing the advocates have to say. So if you want others to believe what you say you had better post some credible evidence.

There is no reason not to believe what the Minister says about the boats being stopped. As well Christmas Island locals have not made mention of any illegals arriving. You had no problem in believing what the Labor Ministers said about the boats arriving. Except it is now proven their opinion about being unable to stop the boats has been well and truly scuttled. But that is usual for Labor incompetence. Like their lies about 'push factors'. Me thinks Labor did not want to stop the boats and they could not care less about the deaths at sea.

However full marks to Mr Morrison and we can look forward to further cessation of boat arrivals. I also have much faith in him stopping the immigration fraud currently being reported.
