Yes, just look at what the recent Euro crisis is doing to Asian stockmarkets and currencies.

But keep in mind, we may be a small population, but Asia is not.
We are also more acustomed to our plush way of life and if it goes, we will find it harder to adapt.

yes my grammer is not the best , apolligies . but once we had a way of life , and people protected it . we are losing any culture we once had , but for now people are rushing over here trying to have a better life , we dont die on the job as many others do , i would like to have a more relaxed life where i work to live , but as you have stated , i should be worried , asians work harder for less .

Gena rein hart is a ***** but people who are rich can be ********* i think those rich people forget that a crowbar to the knee still hurts no matter how much your worth not a threat or anything just saying money really doesnt mean much when you break it down unless you give money power. Me personaly i wouldnt work in the mines as i have a loving kid and a good life i work a half decent job can afford to drive a v8 do it up slowly eat well and shag my missus to me im the richest man in the world i might not own 20 houses or a lambo but in the end that stuff wouldnt make me happy anyway maybe thats the asians thoughts?

But I thought providing the all sacred job position was the one justification that allows businesses to get away with blatantly ripping us off in this country lol, and now they're there and in demand and of course the Australian worker (which of course all these job positions are created for!! It's for the Australian people, not the profits.. herp derp) is instantly overlooked for slave labour costs.

But of course we should all listen to them just like we all listen to ACA and pity the poor poor magnate and her labour shortage. I mean if she actually paid her workers a decent wage she wouldn't be able to afford that luxury liner which she already bought last year, then we'd have to give her billion dollar handouts because if not she'll threaten to axe jobs unless she gets her payout!! The classic qq card a business pulls when it's in debt. Then we'd be truly stuffed because then we'd have no job positions left for all those poor poor true blue immigrant workers who will be left homeless.
NOW DO YOU SEE WHY THE AUSTRALIAN WORKERS NEED COMPANIES LIKE THIS!!!!

It's funny you mention this, the amount of people at work namely operators that update there Facebook status every 5 mins throughout a shift to let everyone know what there doing is hilarious.

I think we're pretty much chasing our tails here.
We are arguing about the right & wrongs of decisions that we clearly should have no concerns whatsoever about. Won't have to worry about any of these things when we're all on either the minimum wage of less the $100 a day, or one of the "visionaries" that are struggling away taking in $1,000,000 every 30 minutes.
The rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and anyone not in either of those two categories can go get .....themselves a better attitude & work ethic.....
