I ask questions:

To the Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull.

Is the Prime Minister aware there are 1.4 million ‘temporary visa’ workers in Australia – a number which is the highest in the OECD? 

In fact, 3.6 million workers – half the entire Australian workforce – were born overseas. 

The threat of deportation renders foreign workers docile, supine and super cheap, ensuring they – not Australians – get the jobs.  

Whilst imported cultural and spiritual values inundate us, still 600,000 people pour into Australia each year.

They seek the 200,000 new jobs already sought by over 200,000 Australian school-leavers.

Prime Minister, you inherited the situation from Labor, but will you fix it?

Seven or eight years ago, miners, both coal and hard rock, would get close to $200,000 a year for a good experienced worker. 

Now that figure would flat out being $100,000.

Metal prices over the last ten years have gone up, but wages have gone down.

There were around 35,000 guest workers coming into Australia under Prime Minister John Howard.

This was bad enough in itself but then the incoming Gillard/Rudd Governments shot this figure up to 167,000. 

With over 300,000 ‘make-believe’ students almost all eligible for work coming in each year as well, let there be no doubt that the powers-that-be are bringing these people in to undermine our pay and conditions and take our jobs.

Those suave suited ‘power people’ that live in the big city’s tapestried towers who sell Australia off (and out) on a daily basis, those people and their puppets; the ALP/LNP politicians. 

They must know you pay the worker less and their CEOs will get more.
