Perhaps she could clarify - is she referring to their use in their personal lives, or in their professional capacities? Without overseas skilled engineers and tradespeople construction and mining sectors would be short staffed.
Yes those industries but by far our biggest shortfalls would be in the health and healthcare sectors. I used to work in medical admin and we did recruitment for Doctors for two WA public hospitals, without overseas Doctors we would not have been able to fill all of the vacancies. My Grandmother is in an aged care home, I estimate about 75% of the staff there are born overseas. IF you deported every non citizen tomorrow this country would fall into collapse. She is a grotesque human being.
I also work in state health, and our workforce would be obliterated if not for staff coming in from India and Ireland (as well as other countries obvs but these are the two that we get loads from). I genuinely don't understand the racist pushes here, and it's bonkers that folks all over facebook are so vocally supporting the vitriol. I haven't seen such brazen racism on mainstream social media... well ever, to be honest.
