Last year ended with 709,600 Australians unemployed, an increase of 34,400 from the beginning of the year. It beggars belief that a large number of these people, who should be looking for work, are not trainable and/or employable. They might not be needed or wanted in their inner city lairs, but the regions are crying out for them - or so we are told.

Instead, the workers needed in the regions should be filled by unskilled migrants, who won’t mind the “dirty”, “smelly” jobs that Australia’s unemployed refuse to do, according to Julian Leeser, MP, member for Berowara, and chairman of a Federal Joint Committee on the matter.


No mention of the unskilled migrants already here, idly swanning around in the large cities with the other unemployed, at tax payer expense. No, lets bring more in to add to the useless bunch of people putting strain on our utilities and services and infrastructure.

In a recent interview, Leeser, MP, also complained about ‘red tape’ and things like the minimum wages “that had to be paid to immigrant workers”. Obviously, the elites are not only reluctant to get our own huge number of unemployed out into the regions, they also want to introduce a LOWER WAGE regime.

Demonstrating that he was not on the ball, the committee chairman’s only reference to these dirty, smelly jobs the regions couldn’t fill was, in the Clare valley - shortages of chefs, winemakers and cellar door salespeople. Last I time looked, the first two were professional jobs requiring qualifications, and the latter required a knowledge of wine - not something many unskilled immigrants would possess.

I’m sure there are unskilled jobs going, but if that’s the barrow you are pushing, surely those are the jobs you would mention. Which begs the question, how smart are these people on Joint Committees, and should we listen to them.

That a Liberal MP wants wages to be lower is hardly surprising!

Regardless of our immigration rate, the government could easily create enough jobs for everyone by running expansionary fiscal and monetary policy.

Aidan,
You reckon the Opposition parties would be agreeable to lower Public Service salaries & benefits ?
I'm all for those salaries to be curbed by at least 10% & those over 500 Grand/year by 15%
This Govt should follow the example of QANTAS ! Quite a move by Alan Joyce !
Are our bureaucrats up to the challenge ?

individual,
>You reckon the Opposition parties would be agreeable to lower Public Service salaries & benefits ?
Of course not, what a stupid question!
For over three decades (possibly much longer) Labor have constantly advocated sustainable improvements.

Immigration Lawyers & bureaucrats ensure that decent people have it extremely difficult to get here ! Those who can afford to fork out are of course ushered in !
The evidence is all around us & the results are impacting on our lives more each day !

The point is: O.7 million unemployed, but mass immigration continues. Since the de-industrialisation of Australia only dirty smelly jobs are left - 60,000 according to people who claim to know. If they cannot get that many from the ranks of the long term unemployed without looking for migrants, they don't know their arses from their elbows. There are simply too many people in Australia: proven by the presence of almost three quarters of a million people not working while the country gets by perfectly well without their input.
