Opposition Leader Bill Shorten is urging people not to ‘dumb down’ the national jobs debate …
Last week he promised to open the gates to family migration …
He promised wharf workers at the Gladstone Port a crackdown on foreign workers if Labor wins the upcoming election. The minimum wages of skilled visa-holders would be jacked up by 20 per cent, stopping unscrupulous employers from taking on cheap overseas labour over locals busting for work.
Increasing family migration would EITHER reduce skilled migration OR increase overall migration – either strategy impacting on local jobs.
Obviously none of these brain-farts are costed.
Mr Shorten also pledged to spend billions of dollars on gas pipelines throughout Queensland and the Northern Territory.
Shorten wants to INCREASE gas exports, presumably because his comrades in the Greens haven’t figured out that gas is a fossil fuel too. Coal has become politically correct, so now he wants to pump gas.
Meanwhile, his mate Daniel Andrews has banned CONVENTIONAL GAS exploration in Victoria.
THIS IS WHY YOU ARE PAYING SUCH HIGH PRICES FOR ELECTRICITY – IDIOTS LIKE THIS IN GOVERNMENT.
