Or vote for the other mob next time
I’m no apologist for the current lot of do-nothing no hopers and without any intention of staring a left vs right argument, but the other mob had a go and were no better, in fact, arguably they were far worse. Gillard and her minions (Shorten, Plibersek, Wong, Bowen, et al; largely all still the same mob by the way), had 457 visas being used to import Fast Food workers, and an immigration program that exploded in Numbers keeping wages low and GDP per capita increases far lower than they otherwise could have been (initially thanks to Howard, then expanded massively by Rudd, and not reigned in since). If they were truly the workers friend, they’d have invested massively in reducing skills shorages (tafe, trades, etc) and focused on increasing productivity and commensurate wage increases of the population that was already here, while returning immigration to long term averages (around 1/3 of the current level) and ensuring 457 visas were only permitted to be used in conjunction with efforts to address supply shortages.

Voting for either major party will change nothing. Both will keep us plundering along a path of the mass immigration Ponzi scheme, and lack of investment and reform in the actual causes of current issues such as the one being “addressed” by Mr Dutton today.

The way I see it, the only parties that seem to want to address some or all of the larger issues pertaining to this, are the nationalist or protectionist types (One Nation / Australian Conservatives / Nxt) or the Pragmatists (Sustainable Australia)...
