Is Mise,
What the law allows and what political reality allows are two very different things.

Nobody is going to invade Australia. Our armed forces are primarily a deterrent. It's very unlikely they'll actually fight in any wars except as part of an international effort to enforce UN resolutions.

>In August of this year, there were 487,700 people on the dole. That is a bloody disgrace,
The lowest proportion of the workforce in almost half a century and you think it's a bloody disgrace? Why?
And without people on the dole, where do you suggest businesses recruit from?

>The jobs employers can't get workers for are unskilled jobs in hospitality, tourism,

>enough for Africans and Asians who are pleased to have any sort of job in a place

You seem to regard that as a bad thing, but I put it to you that it's actually a good thing! Why should Aussies be forced into work they think it below them when they're capable of so much more?

Aidan,
If that's so, why don't they prove their worth by getting jobs & prove their prowess & capability ?
There isn't an employer in this Nation that wouldn't take them in instantly !

"The callous Elites & their stubborn as a mule supporters are only using surveys & polls to gauge the degree of corruption they can get away with !"

I find it endlessly amusing that there is this subset of people who, failing to understand a process, assume it must therefore be corrupt. Ignorance amplified.

The surveys I mentioned were just finding out the voting patterns after the election. How anyone could be so ill-informed as to think that's corrupt is beyond belief.

failing to understand a process
mhaze,
It's that very process that's the cause of most of the problems in society, it always has been & will be so until we manage to get enough thinking people to educate more people so we can rid ourselves of the scourge that are the incompetent control freaks !
The only thing your 'process' achieves is perpetuating status quo of mismanagement & disunity ! Thinking people can see what your 'process' is doing but because of the pseudo-Democracy farce people are tying their own hands thus disabling the whole Nation from rectifying this utterly flawed "process' !

"Why should Aussies be forced into work they think it below them when they're capable of so much more?", asks Aidan.

They aren't being forced or they would be working; and if they are so "capable", why aren't they working? What are these capabilities that are apparently not needed by employers? Have these people chosen qualifications not wanted in Australia?

If you are not working you either don't want to work, or you don't have what is needed to work. Perhaps their are just too many people in Australia and not enough jobs? That's not what employers are saying; and governments want to bring in more immigrants.

So what is the answer, Aidan? You are always disagreeing with with everything and everyone, but you never come up with solutions. You are just a naysayer, matey.
