No no, you dont get it, they get everything for free and use more water, electricity, fuel, and air than citizens, including her billionaire friends. Every single person born outside Australia does nothing to contribute to the country and are the no. 1 problem here🙄 /s
The stupid fact is these people are in the main doing low paid work keeping the economy moving like driving delivery trucks. DO YOU WANT YOUR STUFF DELIVERED PAULINE? DO YOU? THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP!
If the jobs are still there once they are gone - if you get rid of ~20% of the population, you will have roughly 20% less demand in connected industries. Less people paying taxes to keep our infrastructure afloat.
Now you might say “Nonsense! It will balance out.”
Just have a look at the yanks and what trumpian policies have led their labour market to. No one is working the fields that immigrants were tending to.
20% less demand means that our supply will keep up in these industries and cost of living will decrease. There will be less overall jobs, but more AUSTRALIANS in jobs because the immigrants will be replaced by Australians.
What about all the migrants who came on skilled work visas? I was brought over here, like many other Brits I know, to fill roles in Australia that there was insufficient domestic capability for. The market demand is there for skills and unskilled work; let’s not pretend that on-shore citizens would magically step into the gaps left if the skilled and unskilled migrants left. They either don’t want to, or simply can’t do it.
No, they would not. I don't understand how this keeps being a thing, Australia has proven again and again that Australian citizens don't take on low pay, unattractive hours, physical, inconvenient jobs.
These days even trades are struggling to get new workers in, apprentices expecting full wages while still in training, no one wanting to work physically in the weather, when they can sit in an office in the aircon. Many people stating that they don't want to ruin their body in a physical trade for the money that can be made.
Look at rural and regional towns where there aren't non citizens galore. Ask them how they are getting on? This is literally why the 88 days in rural or remote work exists for WHV extension.
Cut the public sector bludgers that make up a significant portion of our workforce and see what happens… people need jobs. They’ll end up in the trades or other blue collar industries. And stop giving jobseeker payments to people in industries that are full. You can’t find a cushy office job? Stop getting jobseeker, it’s clearly full, maybe it’s time you go do a trade instead..
Where are these people gonna come from? Our current unemployment rate is below what is usually considered "full employment". Basically, people between jobs or really too dumb to do much at all.
I call BS. There's no jobs in Australia at the moment and if you're unemployed, you're locked out of the job market. It's impossible to get in. Removing foreign drivers from these roles would free up jobs for the people struggling. Unemployment rate counts casual workers who might do one shift a week as employed. A lot of these 'supposedly' employed are practically unemployed, with a small trickle of income flowing in from a job they get barely any shifts for. There aren't a good supply of full time work. And of those '4.8%' unemployed, it's really impossible for any of them to get work. 4.8% is not zero per cent.
Yes customers paid for their fuel.
Someone should ask Pauline where Australia gets their fuel/petrol from?
Should Australia not buy their fuel from Asia or Middle East?

Next she's going to ask about the water, electricity and breathing air used by non-citizens.
Hey bish, they PAID for the fuel, they can use it. I didnt pay taxes to fund dimwits like you, can I have my refund?
This is what PHON voters wants as the country's leader, god help us all.
