Technological change is taking away a lot of the jobs that migrants used to do. No more TCF with people sewing away , no more car industry with people putting nuts on bolts, greatly reduced demand for farm workers apart from seasonal pickers, so where are the jobs coming from ? They are going to China and India, so no need for migration except for niche skills that we don't produce or are too expensive here.
The bolded bit is factually incorrect. It's currently higher than at ANY time than it was under the ALP. Go check the figures.Don't worry Rumpy......Malcolm has got it all under control......Growth up 3.2%....unemployment down to 5.7% and a lot lower to where it was under Labor.

Well apparently the figures in the news you have been reading are rubbish.They are not my figures pal...It has been all over the news lately.
Well apparently the figures in the news you have been reading are rubbish.
Why wouldn't you check them against the official source (ABS) given that that is where the current 5.7% comes from?
We all know that the stats are rubbish anyway. Work one hour a week and you are considered employed. The rate of 'underemployment' (< 35 hours per week) could be 30% for all we know.
I am sure if Labor were in government they would welcome those figures with bells ringing from their propaganda machine the ABC.
Man armed with scissors drags woman from vehicle in Melbourne carjacking
Posted 18 minutes ago
Map: Brighton East 3187
A man has threatened a woman with a pair of scissors during a carjacking in Melbourne's south.
The woman was sitting in her parked car on Mavis Avenue near Landcox Park at Brighton East when she was confronted by the man just after 1:30pm on Wednesday.
He opened the car door and demanded the woman get out.
Police said the woman grabbed hold of the scissors but the offender dragged her out of the car.
The victim ran to a nearby cafe for help and the man drove off in the car towards Milroy Street and the Nepean Highway.
Police described the man as being of African appearance and about 185 centimetres tall.
He was wearing tracksuit pants, a blue top with black print, light-coloured runners and a cap.
The woman's car, a silver 2007 Toyota Camry sedan, had the registration UYZ 360.
Anyone with information has been urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
Actually the ABS figures shows a further decline down to 5.6% in August.
Typical Leftie comment.....when you don't like something that favors the government you have no other answer than to call it "RUBBISH".

unemployment down to 5.7% and a lot lower to where it was under Labor.
You said:
I called it 'rubbish' because it is. It's not a lot lower than where it was under the ALP. That is factually incorrect.
I made no qualitative judgment about the current rate. You're putting words in my mouth again. Seriously just man up and admit you made a mistake.
What month was it 6.2% under the ALP?So when Labor came to power in 2007, unemployment rose from 4 % to 6.2% during their disgraceful 6 years in office and Labor predicted it would go even higher.
One in two Australians want a ban on Muslim immigration, poll finds
http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/programs/hack/half-of-australia-wants-muslim-ban/7865630
34 per cent of Greens voters also support a ban
That figure really surprised me. I could understand the 40% Labor, as their constituency is generally working class voters who are in many ways the same constituency that supports Hanson and One Nation. But the Greens are mainly inner city trendies, who would normally have little in common with Hanson's policies, at least when in public discourse.
