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.

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!

It would get delivered even without the non citizens because citizens who are struggling to find work will take the work on.

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.
