Ok I wanna know why we never needed immigration to fill some jobs decades ago. Smart kids became doctors and stuff. Some of them made coffee or flipped burgers while at uni. Dumb kids dig holes at 14 and never went to uni. We had a full spectrum.
are aussies now too good so we need servants? If we cut immigration greatly and cut welfare would more Aussies go get the service industry jobs? I dunno just musings but it seems weird everything worked well right up to the last 20-30yrs..?
Aussies are like entitled Rango above struggling to get to the beach. No interest in low paid jobs. $100 an hour for trades is standard here. I have a bachelor degree and 35 year's experience and I do not get that. We live in strange times. Never been better on every metric but they still whinge. Life is good folks look on the bright side.
Yeh sure, ever noticed how many people live in cars now,take a ride down memorial drive at Pt Peron,cost of living ,housing shortage ,ambulance ramping ,hospital wait times.Wrong ,things are not better by every metric.
The trip to the beach time was used to show how our infrastructure cannot cope with the high immigration failed economic model used as a cover for all time low productivity.
