Just because someone has a degree doesn't mean they have an in demand skill, or that they likely to seek skilled work.<br /><br />Australia's minimum wage is very high by international standards, so it makes perfect sense for say, a mediocre business management student from a middle income country like China or Brazil to come to Australia and work as a kitchen hand or taxi driver.<br /><br />Similarly places in job training opportunities have little relation to the actual demand for workers. There's a serious lack of job training for many in-demand technical subjects and an oversupply of workers in areas like primary school education. <br /><br />In these neo-liberal times tertiary job training is based on making money for the colleges, rather than the needs of the country or the labour market.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-75268485678233073772014-01-18T13:55:03.591+11:002014-01-18T13:55:03.591+11:00These parasitic business groups are unbelievable. ...These parasitic business groups are unbelievable. They want cheap labour and more consumers and they expect the rest of us to carry the costs associated with mass immigration. It angers me that immigration levels have shot up at the behest of special interest groups with no concern for the interests of the broader Australian population. My suggestion: write to your local federal MP and ask them to justify their support for mass immigration. They certainly can't claim it's in the national interest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-72087993828548570542014-01-18T10:34:21.262+11:002014-01-18T10:34:21.262+11:00Mark Richardson: "...it seems to be an argume...Mark Richardson: "...it seems to be an argument that has spilled over from another forum."<br /><br />It is.<br /><br />Mark Richardson: "I don't think it's the right historic argument to be focused on right now."<br /><br />Or preferably ever again.

Of pre 7th century Anglo-Saxon origins, it derives from the word 'smitan' meaning 'to smite' and as such is believed to have described not a worker in iron, but a soldier, one who smote.<br /><br />Piper - This interesting surname is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and is an English occupational name for "a player of the pipe or bagpipes, a piper", from the Olde English pre 7th Century and Middle English word "pipere", a piper, from "pipe", which is cognate with the Germanic "pfeife", whistle, pipe.<br /><br />Goodsell - This interesting and curious surname is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and is a locational name from any of the places called Gadshill (Kent), recorded as "Godeshyll" in the Anglo- Saxon Chronicles in 973; Godshill (Isle of Wight), which appears as "Godesmanescamp" in the Domesday Book of 1086; or Godshill (Wiltshire), found as "Godeshull" in the Episcopal Registers of circa 1270.<br /><br />Myatt - This is an unusual and interesting name of English origin found chiefly in the West Midlands. The derivation is from the medieval given name "Myat", itself a diminutive form of "Michael" (from the Middle English "Mihel").<br /><br />Waldron - This is a surname of ancient pre 7th century origins. Recorded in the spellings of Waldram, Waldren, Waldron, Waleran, and Walrond, it is an excellent example of a style of individual name from the "Dark ages". It derives from the Olde German personal compound name "Wala-hram", and whilst it may have been introduced into Britain by the 8th century Anglo-Saxons, the first certain recordings are Norman-French, or at least after the 1066 Norman Invasion.<br /><br />Brown - Recorded in many spellings from Brown, Broune, and De Bruyn, to Brauner, Bruni and Brunet, this ancient and prolific surname derives, from a pre 7th century Germanic and Anglo-Saxon word "brun" or the Olde Norse personal name "Bruni".<br /><br />Lilly - Recorded in many forms as shown below, this is an English surname.<br /><br />O'Callaghan - This ancient and honourable surname is of Irish and royal origins.<br /><br />14 positions, ethnicity as follows:<br /><br />1 Greek<br /><br />3 Irish<br /><br />10 Anglo-Saxon/Norman/Germanic all as a subset of English<br />Reg Sipconoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-82905351079206791192014-01-17T11:12:47.647+11:002014-01-17T11:12:47.647+11:00What is interesting about the Australian Industry ...What is interesting about the Australian Industry Group is the ethnic makeup of its <a href="http://www.aigroup.com.au/mediacentre/directors/" rel="nofollow">"Group Management Team".</a><br /><br />Titus will find the following information of particular interest given his recent series of denunciations of the Irish descended as destroyers of Australia at Counter-Currents.<br /><br />Here is a list of the surnames of the Management Team of Australian Industry Group.

However spelt today it is an anglicized form of the original pre 12th century Gaelic O'Nullain<br /><br />Melville - This name is of French locational origin from any of the various places in Normandy called Malleville, for example, Malleville in Pays de Caux. The name derives from the Old French "mal" meaning "bad" or "poor", referring to the poor quality of the soil in the area, plus "ville", a settlement.

Big or small makes no difference. Local traditions and cultures make no difference. The current state of the economy makes no difference - except to the rationales for a policy recommendation that is always and everywhere the same - in all white countries and only white countries.<br /><br />Why does Sweden need Somalis, and Australia, and Minnesota? If you didn't already know, could you have guessed whether that should have been Somalis or Senegalese or Sudanese? Or whether the economy was going up or down when these people were brought in? Or whether the rationale was "need for low cost [and presumably high quality] labor" or something else? It's absurd.<br /><br />The real commonalities are the ones anti-whites don't want to talk about. They are not forcing "diversity" on Taiwan or Nigeria. South Korea doesn't need "diversity" but Germany does. Kenya doesn't need more diversity, but Canada does. Pakistan doesn't need more "diversity" but France does.<br /><br />This is about blending out the Indo-European genotype through mass non-white immigration and forced assimilation in all white countries and only in white countries. It's genocide.<br /><br />I know that's shocking to say, but it's the truth. Think about it. The official stories <i>cannot</i> be true. This is the common thread that accounts for a massive, decades-long and otherwise inexplicable concordance of policies. And it also accounts for the determination of the powers that be to silence public discussion on this topic.Titus Didius Tacitusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-41727645012161877672014-01-16T14:59:03.682+11:002014-01-16T14:59:03.682+11:00Interesting rebuttal of the skills shortage in the...Interesting rebuttal of the skills shortage in the on-line Guardian. Argues that business wants more immigration to drive down labour rates.<br /><br />http://www.theguardian.com/business/grogonomics/2014/jan/16/is-there-really-a-skills-shortage<br /><br />There are many arguments to reduce immigration that I think that the public would respond to.<br /><br />1) Virtually everyone wonders about the doubling of Sydney and Melbourne predicted over the next few decades. Where will all these people go? Will everyone live in high-rise apartments?The public is not in favour of it. <br /><br />2) The loss of amenity in a city that is increasing its population that is not counted in pure economic terms. Eg traffic and public transport congestion, loss of back yards, overcrowding at schools and many more.<br /><br />3) Can we afford the infrastructure required to house, provide transport, schools, water and other utilities, roads, hospitals and other medical facilities for all these new immigrants. A some of some $350,000 in infrastructure is apparently required to be invested by the taxpayer for each new immigrant.<br /><br />3) People are concerned about high house prices and wonder if their children or grandchildren will be able to afford a house in the future. Immigration is a big factor in the increasing price of land and houses in our larger cities.<br /><br />4) Countries like Britain have struggled to cope with Healthcare and other services due to massive immigration. Unless we invest a lot we will too.<br /><br />There are many other negatives to immigration that can be cited.Guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13172946079573613841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-53169240886637141922014-01-15T22:45:38.906+11:002014-01-15T22:45:38.906+11:00It is worth pointing out that the highest number o...It is worth pointing out that the highest number of immigrants on Temporary 457 visas by Industry type is the mysteriously named 'other services’, This category includes health and beauty services, electrical and automotive repair services and religious services to name but a few.
