Your opinion

Australia DOES have a labour shortage,

Is immigration the real answer?

Now im all in favour of a steady flow of immigration. its perfectly fine. However i dont think importing workers from other countrys is the best solution.

I work at retail over say a apprentice, you know why?

4 years apprentice=300 a week, 40+ hour weeks, and when you finish that your on about 500 a week.

Already working at BWS

430 a week for "under 21 age"

4 years i could EASILY become 2IC, which is roughly 500+ a week


And we have trouble with housing already, with thousands waiting for a home, what will that be like when 1000 more people come over and need housing?

The solution is to pay more in the field where you lack workers dammit.

I dont want to have to pay extra rent because the government is both-

Not giving ENOUGH incentive for businesses to hire apprentice/pay them something decent.

Dont open up enough land blocks for residents/REFUSE to build upways not encouraging people to live in the shit-hole country towns of W.A.

the problem with the migrants is they simply come in and collect welfare whilst doing illegal cash jobs.

I know since im in regular contact with these sorts.

Another issue is a significant number of our home grown workforce choose to move overseas due to the lack of prospects here in the professional fields and also the tax conditions here, I am refereing to a paper by the Australian Chartered Accountants which concluded that in the end of the day we are taxed around the sum of 70% of our income including all sorts of hidden taxes that most people are unaware of.

Australia IS one of the most taxed countrys in the world, guess its one of the things we have to put up with being such a highly developed country in such a large space, with such little population on the world scale.
