Most do .... in fact nationally they are overworked & under paid in most Health systems ...

because there are shortages of staff.

Immigration and fiscal policy ....immigration certainly creates jobs and raises GDP and economic activity - for sure!!  Flooding a country with large groups of people means they MUST buy food, pay for lodgings and so forth, and thus must somehow find a source of income, and so all of these economic factors increase!!  Easy as pie......

HOWEVER ..................................................... the majority of immigrants are NOT 'workers' - they are family - wives who in many 'cultures' cannot work, children, aging parents etc..... so the actual economic activity per person immigrated is reduced.. Furthermore, many such - as in their 'culture' - accept a 'negotiated wage' from an unscrupulous employer, a wage which, to them as recent arrivals, sounds like paradise, but when taken in context of Australian costs of living, is poverty level.  This lower 'negotiated wage' (Howard's Wet Dream - what an idiot) then, in turn, places pressure on ALL wages/incomes, and thus generates never-ending conflict between employer and employee over how much should be paid to a worker - while at the same time creating the endless parade of business vultures appearing in courts and tribunals over 'wage theft'.

Thus the claimed 'economic activity' is reduced yet again by the simple reality that fewer dollars = fewer purchases .... which, when accompanied by increased competition for increasingly rare infrastructure - such as housing, fuel supply, water supply, power supply etc - leads to higher costs to all consumers.  Add to that social disintegration through the dilution of incomes across the board (unless you are of a privileged 'class'), never-ending reduction due to over-supply of potential workers to 'part-time casual' for more and more, and for the growing many, a far lower standard of living.

Ultimately this results in tent cities and so forth, with all the social lack of cohesion in such lifestyles, along with an increasingly desperate need to somehow improve income and thus lifestyle, and, in many cases, even survive as a family.

I say bring back the guillotine!!  Halt mass immigration, then reverse it by getting rid of all undesirables who do not wish to actively participate (Reverse Boat People Program/Aborassic Park(s)/Gondwanamo Bay)!  Restore full value to all work NOW!

How do you know anything about him .... stop talking BS.

There is no reasonable excuse for doubling the rent.

Got him!!  Perhaps a new deal is demanded - rent may only apply on the purchase price level of a house - if you buy it for  certain amount and that amount doubles - your rent cannot double, but only rise to keep connection with rises in costs.

A house bought for $100 Large would be dirt cheap rental by today's standards... not doubled because the market price has gone up to $200 Large ... or quadrupled because its market price gone up to $400 Large.....

Initial cost ONLY with rise for inflation only should determine level of rent... PURCHASE PRICE - not MARKET VALUE should be the determinant of rent payment.

Lessee now ... start industry ... local birth rate too low... skilled workers .... societal decline....

Seems to me, Pilgrim, that there are PLENTY of people around to fill spots in re-booted industry, hardly their fault that idiots have run it all down ... these 'skilled workers' - what are their specialties again.. I don't see any iron workers on that list... lemme see again.. NOPE - no plans to re-boot any industry, just pretend to be filling gaps in the current lacks of industry.... nurses and such ... societal decline has been a given here since the 1980's via immigration, affirmative action, robber baron industrial relations, ghetto raising, social and economic differences equaling canyon sized gaps, higher costs of living accompanied by lower job expectancy and expectation and opportunity, and other programs DELIBERATELY aimed at destroying social cohesion such as divorce, single parenthood as a right, special privileges of not really working such as the Ebonies At The Gates handed 'management' over and thus 'jobs' in running common grounds past (as in Victoria along the Merri Creek Corridor  .......... Aboriginal jobs only as 'rangers' in national parks and thus making rules of exclusion..... specific jobs for one group only).....

What could go wrong????

And let us not forget the rise and rise of tent cities and bridge dormitories which will inevitably lead to a lower life expectancy and a lack of any realistic social cohesion among the inmates of those new institutions.... the rats will be forced to feed off one another, and preventable diseases will rise again among what are primarily the OLD 'Australians' .... driven out of their own country into poverty ghettoes and awaiting disposal....

Oh, I don't think I miss much.... most, on the other hand, never go deep enough to find the mother lode of truth .... maybe some of you need to go down among the dead men for three months and actually learn .....

Right!  There you go - you're on the streets and here's your dole money for a fortnight to budget ....

Silent Generation - what a hoot - you need to consider The Silenced Generation more, first and foremost... get in touch with your Inner Impoverished....
