A GROWING jobs shortage and rising unemployment figures in Australia have forced the Rudd Government to start closing the gate on foreign workers.
Jobs vacancies for skilled workers have plunged 50 per cent in Queensland as demand for professionals and tradespeople dries up and mining giants slash staff.
Nearly 550 Queensland miners were axed on Tuesday and up to $30 billion in planned mining developments are in doubt because of the sudden downturn in world demand for the state's coal.
In response, the Federal Government has moved to tighten immigration laws to protect Australian jobs.
About bloody time!
I should say: Immigration has it's place, to keep wage inflation from running a muck, but when it comes to jobs for Aussies, immigration needs to be curbed.
agree ,
not to mention the percentage of actual anglo-Australians is getting lesser and lesser
the colour of australia is changing
Like it or not mate, Australia is a part of Asia, not Europe.

I always thought terra Australis incognita was its own little island/continent ?
Australia's immigration policy has long been dysfunctional. We don't need any more Indian taxi drivers or petrol station attendants.
To get a grasp of how ridiculous it is, think about blood type. I am blood type A. This means I can receive red blood cells from anyone with A or O type blood. It doesn't matter if someone's skin is darker than night; I can take it and my body will not react aggressively.
Yet, I can't receive blood from a more "Aryan" person like myself if their blood is type B. And I'm supposed to be more "like" all white people? They're supposed to be my "kind?"
Imagine a person who has ancestry from Europe, from Asia and from Africa. Where does he/she fit on the census? Of what race is he/she a member?

Geez... I hope she rates you in bed a little more positively than that!Yet we are both "English decent"
How long are you suggesting XOA?
I always thought it was extremely successfully compared with many places I've been.
Ever since the mid 1990s, when we turned universities into PR factories and imported Indian IT professionals to perform menial labour.
