I look forward, with some anticipation, to Kerry O'Whatisname from the 7.30 Report interviewing Kim Beasley, or even better, one of his predecessors - (you know, the his silver haired bodgie one) - on what his reaction is to this outrage.

I seem to remember some other bloke with an Irish sounding name warning Australia 17 years ago that they were condemning themselves to a future like this if they let the Silver Bodgie get away with bringing in foreign labour at the time.

True to form, the great Aussie unwashed - including far too many within the Aviation industry - because it didn't affect them directly at the time, (or for some, because there was a short term advantage to be had from the situation), ignored those warnings.
