Australian Politics General...

A good article on immigration, which you don't normally get, @moXJO the guy is saying exactly what you are saying and what a lot of others think, but don't dare say it.
Just posted in the other thread then saw this. I would have just posted this video, as I agree with everything he said.
But I'll add that politicians will need to change imo. I'm not sure people will continue to accept these wanks feeding off the taxpayer while dropping living standards.

By the way the guy being interviewed is this guy, Leigh Van Onselen, he doesn't appear to be politically motivated by either side, which is unusual, but does seem to articulate the silent majority which I feel I fall into.
But I could be wrong as being objecting rather subjective is difficult, as proven on the forum, over and over again IMO.

Way too much tribalism in Australia, the media has the muppets fighting each other, while the over class take their house.
But too many dumb ar$es ranting and raving and running around with pitchforks, chasing the media narrative, while they are being rogered and they don't even know it.
Danca Maria, that will keep their eyes off the ball, the media's answer to allowing the muppets to think about the real issues that WILL AFFECT THEM.
The art of diversion.?

Luigi, of course, was hopeless, and it was clear that the character realised this, but as with many of Hogan's characters, half the joke was that they were trying to fumble their way through their situation.

I was just down the pub for happy hour, there seems to be a lot of underlying nervousness and discontent brewing IMO.

Cost of living and the talk of re starting immigration when the rental market is so tight, quite a few are renting houses. One of the guys was saying, his rental has been sold and he has been looking for a new one, there are lines of people waiting for the viewing time to start. That is a new phenomena in W.A, especially away from Perth, it did happen in Perth in the late 1980's from memory but usually it is a struggle to find tenants due to the introduction of interstate FIFO.Are you able to elaborate?

Oh well as I said when the Wellcamp quarantine facility was announced, it will end up a FIFO camp for overseas labour, it sounds as though they all might. ?
Taxpayers will fork out $13m to maintain the federal government’s quarantine facility in Western Australia even though the building may remain empty for years.
The eye-watering sum will be spent on buying and installing furniture, facility management, security and maintenance.
Serco has been contracted to complete the work on the 500-bed facility.
“While construction is expected to be completed soon, the handover to the state is planned to occur in October.”
As previously flagged, there are several options being explored for the facility.
That includes short-term accommodation for international and interstate skilled labour, beds for people at risk of homelessness and emergency accommodation for natural disaster relief.
Meanwhile long term unemployment in Australia is falling to its lowest level in years, we can't have that can we, the plebs lives changing that isn't how it's meant to work.

Long-term unemployment is falling rapidly, and it's changing lives
As the labour market gets tighter, long-term unemployment is declining quickly, writes Gareth Hutchens

Not surprising, Raising immigration rates to 500,000 people is a right wing agenda item. Its not actually news.
Front page in the Age is the class action against Lanzer, cosmetic cowboys that have disfigured hundreds.
There is a mention of Morrison in a minor headline, Libs skewed industry grants to key seats and Morrison controlled this taking the decisions away from the industry minister.

Sod all came out of the Pink Batts commission, I expect no less from this one.
ROBO debt ....
A spoon full of faeces is an amost inexhaustable resource to spread around; morrison was and is a dumpster full of it.
Considering the illegality an scale of ROBO death debacle there maybe a tad more consequence than the batt experience.
