Importing Migrant Workers

[numbercruncher]

Hell man lets make her PM, she make 105Mil a day, look what our so called PM spends aday.

Why not just Tax mining magnates more and abolish negative gearing and end foreign aid - that ought to stop that pesky wee problem.

Its becoming clearer by the day that Rhinehart is just in it for herself - I vote we strip her citizenship and send her packing. A fitting punishment for such Un-Australian behaviour.

Yes she should be punished for her part in lifting the GDP and helping to keep the Labor government afloat. Very un-Australian.

True. Kicking her out of the country would create a new low for the tall poppy syndrome!

But freeze all her assets first. Then pass retrospective laws to ensure they go to help reduce the Govt debt. We don't want them going overseas as well.

Anybody who thinks that these workers on 457's are filling skills shortages is really deluding themselves.

The reality is it is easier and cheaper to get people on 457's and they are obviously much more compliant as they live in fear of having their visa cancelled.

There may well be some instances and i stress some instances where these visas are warranted but when you start talking numbers in the thousands I dont believe it.

Anyhow Rhineheart has admitted as much by her own political statements and agenda. I dont know why anyone would defend her. She is all about making as much for herself and her company without much thought to anything much else.

Any proof or more angry talk?

+1, why exactly is this not done? I don't even understand. She stole that money from Australia after all - and now she wants to steal our jobs as well. Last time I checked, theft is a criminal offence.

Three out of four of her own Children agree - throw her out , keep the cash

whilst we are at it throw that Palmer out as well - wont pay his $300 speeding fine and to absolutely take the piss he plans to build Titanic 2 .....

No doubt he is budgeting for that via replacing Aussies with 457s like his mate Gina ....

Why wasn't he charged with slander against the Greens anyway?

Why do you ask? Are you and NC opposed to slander?

I'm merely wondering who Clive Palmer is that the law does not apply to him.

Max, it's the same law that allows you to slander those you hate. You are even allowed to do it on this forum. Isn't freedom of speech wonderful!! Just be careful to stay away from racial hatred. Hatred of the wealthy is okay.

It is unlawful for a person to do an act, otherwise than in private, if:
(a) the act is reasonably likely in all the circumstances to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate another person or group of people, and
(b) the act is done because of the race, colour or national or ethnic origin of the other person or some or all of the people in the group

So Gina employing non Australians even though Australians are clearly willing and able to take these jobs (not to mention insulted by her behaviour)would be illegal discrimination using that definition you just quoted?

Does it say anything about accusing political parties of being funded by foreign intelligence agencies for personal political gain?

Heres the heads up on the Foreign 457 worker wage scam ...

Rinehart’s estimated net personal wealth has risen over the past 12 months from $10.3 billion to just under $30 billion. (BRW Rich 200, 24-05-2012) Not just the richest person in Australia, the richest woman in the world, she looks set to become the richest person in the world within a few years if the government continues to license her unfettered plunder and rape of the Australian people’s resources. The super-exploitation of overseas workers is just the cream on the cake in profit gouging.

Rinehart’s $9 billion Roy Hill iron ore project in Western Australia is the first to be granted an enterprise migration agreement (EMA). The government describes the EMA as “a new temporary migration initiative to help address the skill needs of the resource sector”. But Rinehart got her EMA without first advertising to determine whether there is a skills shortage.

Her aim is to employ overseas construction workers on lower wages and undermine working conditions. That is what EMAs are designed to do.

The government says companies sponsoring workers under an EMA will hold 457 visas, “pay Australian market salary rates” under the provisions of the Worker Protection Act 2009. But under the Act the resource company must pay the sponsored worker at least the minimum salary level. There is a huge gap of tens of thousands of dollars between the award wage and the actual wage won by trade unions in collective agreements (EBAs).

For example, the wage rate in the mining and construction union CFMEU’s agreement with Chevron’s Gorgon Project on Barrow Island, is $3,500 per week. This is for a 70-hour working week, fly-in fly-out 26 days on and nine days off system. If the award rate were paid, it would be $1,400 per week – and overall saving of 60 percent and corresponding increase in profits!

Max and NC, all I am saying is that you and and Palmer are free to denigrate and slander anyone you hate (including class hatred) providing you steer clear of racial hatred. Palmer of course, cannot do it on this forum, so you have an advantage there.

So go for it. You can practice on me if you like.

Who's being racist? Like I said - nobody cares about their race, the problem is that these mining billionaires are stealing Aussie jobs just because they don't feel like paying wages set by the market.

Also before I forget,

Isn't freedom of speech wonderful!!

It is very wonderful indeed, but there is no freedom of speech in Australia. There are no constitutional nor any other legal provisions for it - it doesn't exist here.

If she behaves like this to her own Children - imagine what she would do to others he try to get in her way ..... makes you not surprised some agree to let her give away Australian jobs :bad:

GINA Rinehart effectively put a ''gun'' to her own children's heads by telling them they would go bankrupt if they didn't agree to hand over control of the family's multibillion-dollar trust, the three eldest children claim.
