Anthony Albanese - How long? -2-

[Rotayjay]

I wonder how much more cafes, aged care facilities and the like would need to pay in an alternate universe where there is little immigration, and they need to find Australian-born people to fill all those positions.

'Build it, and they will come.'

'Pay more, and they will come.'

Two years ago Australians needed to support cafes to keep local people in a job but now cafes need to import serfs to charge prices Australians can afford to buy there. Makes sense.

Cafe workers are not 100% backpackers and foreign students.

Cafes also use other services from delivery people to the guy that empties the grease trap.

Heaps of shitty low paid (not illegally low) jobs that locals will refuse to work in, especially when unemployment is low.

How many people are going to go and work as an Amazon delivery driver for a limited number of hours a week? Or Uber Eats? There's a reason they're almost exclusively international students.

If you don't plan on using Amazon or getting UberEats then it won't impact you at all, but heaps of the complainers will be impacted by it.

Somehow I think Amazon and Uber are going to be fine.

Less workers for uber eats sounds like a triple win, housing freed up, lazy Australians will have to get off their backsides and a rich foreign company has its profits reduced.

Greens have asked for a HECS debt reduction to be brought forward to before the election as an amendment to this Bill. ALP has said no.

The Greens are pushing for a Labor policy on HECS relief that had been planned for after the election to be included in the indexation bill being debated now.

Apparently, the answer to the original question is because the Greens are in "negotiation" mode again...

So which side is being practical and which is being political? Hard to tell

 

[Carn The Berries]

So which side is being practical and which is being political? Hard to tell

I would think bringing a bill that you have announced to the public, with a stated time-frame for implementation, would qualify as entirely practical.

Whether the LNP decides to play ball or not will be interesting. This would be a low risk opportunity to support something the Government is going to pass. It's a big enough deal, and close enough to the election, that they could refer to it during the campaign as a sign of not just being blockers.

Having said all that, I'm almost certain they'll find a reason to block it, because that is what they do

luxury pt 2: old school hay carting on the back of a large truck (that was 8-bails high slowly working along a slope at dusk with a farmer who had a 'she'll be right mate' attitude laughing away in the comfort of the drivers cabin)

as bad (and dangerous) as that was - it was nothing on the torment of stacking said hay bails in a shed in mid-40s temperature

Albo diving into a LNP/Labor Coaltion as he has this past week or two will not work for him.

The left abandon him further for Greens etc.

The middle votes LNP as he just looks like a poor imitation of the LNP.

The right will never vote for them anyway.

I'm not saying it would be a good thing. But if every cafe, Uber Eats, Amazon and Doordash closed down tomorrow, nobody would die.

The labour market is regulated (sort of), but it is a market nonetheless. We sell our labour to employers. If the job is shit and doesn't pay well, we won't sell our labour to that employer unless unemployment is high or we really need a job.

I'm not saying you should close down immigration. But if there are zero immigrants, and you 'can't' find any Aussie-born people to fill your crappy job, you will either have to close the business or offer more money until someone applies.

I commend the Albanese government and RBA for getting inflation down while keeping unemployment to 4%. That is very low, and a lot of people have been saved from the meat grinder of joblessness and Centrelink.

Labor needs to win over the average Joe and Jane working class that should be their core but feel abandoned.

I thought for a bit recently cracks might have been appearing but anybody that wants a job can get one atm, at least where I live. Pay is at least ok as well.

Any employer that pays minimum and or treats people badly good luck finding staff...

I wouldn’t be giving the government any credit. Everything a government can do to slow inflation gets back to one thing: lowering their spending.

They haven’t done that and they showed no plans to do so. Typical modern politics: saying they are doing one thing while absolutely doing the opposite.

The RBA are solely responsible for pulling inflation back and the government, if anything, has been a hindrance. Because they just keep spraying money everywhere.

Australians are very highly leveraged thanks to the residential property cluster****, so the RBA can turn the screws.
