IMHO the biggest issue (now) is that J* have exposed their plan- they have clearly stated that the reason for this 'off shoring' is to avoid the costs of doing business in Australia eg. taxes, employee entitlements, any rules regarding experience which may or may not come about etc. They constantly bang on about the individual being no worse off (whether that is true or not is hotly debatable, especially when they make comments along the lines of "the pilot will have his super paid directly to him"! ie. included in the package as salary), but what they are really saying is that they will reduce their costs. By avoiding the costs that Australian based companies have to wear.
The pollies might want to think about that.
