So? Move to Dubbo.

Prices in the cities are high. They don't relate to the importation of the tinted races, which I believe is what your case is.

After all, you're not calling for an end to all immigration, now are you?

You're calling for the re-introduction of the White Australia Policy.

Bobby's house price scam is a red herring, as you have just acknowledged.

Cunning, no?

Inshallah  dear.         

J.C. Denton, all you do is moan and complain, you never offer an alternative that has the support of the majority of people, why?  Do you belong to the Office Moaners and Complainers' Union of something? The world has changed, don't you think you should change with it? WAP is dead and buried and will never, despite what you think return. Tsk, tsk, tsk...

Bring it on!!! 

A growing number of Pacific ­Islanders are abandoning a key agricultural worker scheme and seeking asylum in Australia, as farmers warn the program addressing workforce shortages ­was being undermined by Labor’s pro-union rule changes.

The peak farmers body warned employers were being short-changed when workers left the Pacific Australia Labour ­Mobility scheme and sought asylum, while agricultural businesses were considering leaving the program because they were now required to pay each worker at least 30 hours a week even if there was a downturn in production.

In the past six months, more than 1050 Pacific Islanders defected from the PALM scheme and applied for permanent protection visas. This is on track to overtake 1698 permanent visa applications from Pacific Island workers in 2022-23 – the first full year PALM was operating after the consolidation of the Pacific Labour Scheme and the Seasonal Worker Program.

Obtaining a protection visa would give the Pacific Islanders unrestricted work rights and some social security benefits.

Each defection left farmers in the lurch as they were “left to bear thousands in upfront recruitment costs and without the workforce needed to complete their season”.

“More needs to be done by government to ensure both workers and non-approved employers understand the rules around job switching for Pacific workers,” he said. “We need to see penalties enforced against non-approved employers who illegally lure Pacific workers away from their workplaces.

“As the number of workers under the PALM scheme increases, we’re also seeing an increase in applications for protection visas.

Nationals leader David Littleproud said the 30 hours requirement would force farmers to “pay people to lie on the couch and do nothing” when the weather was too poor to work.

He said it would ultimately reduce the agricultural workforce and increase the price of food.

“Economics tells them they probably won’t plant the crop because they can’t afford to do that,” he said. “There were sensible provisions around averaging that allowed for the weather and for these workers to catch up when it stopped raining and things have dried out – that’s common sense.

“These changes have been driven by Labor and the unions … by ideology and not understanding the practical reality of what this will do.

“If you reduce supply, then ultimately what’s going to happen is everyone’s prices go up.”

Quebec Citrus Australia director Ainsley Emmerton said she was growing increasingly frustrated with the highly bureaucratic scheme and was weighing up if she should walk away.

“My husband just said to me this morning, ‘it’s just so hard’ because of having to deal with the elements like rain, it’s been a very wet week,” she said. “But when this 30-hour week comes in we’ve got to pay all the PALM workers 30 hours for no work, and that’s not our fault, because it’s raining we’re not going to send them out in the wet, so we’re going to get no economic benefit.”

Farmers were required to offer PALM workers at least 30 hours a week averaged over four weeks from New Year’s Day and 30 hours each week from July 1.
