Anonymous Throw out 457 Visa's 2 Apr 18 2009, 10:24 AM EDT by Dooley1

This is just an excuse to keep wage pressure down on casual jobs across all industries. If a natural employment balance was allowed in the market place there would be a lot less casual jobs and a bit more respect, dignity and a real wage for people to jobs that not many people like to do out of choice. 457 Visa's allow international students and workers to profit at our students and workers (working mothers, students, ageing populace) expense. It is also an established avenue for slave/prostitution rings and other undesirable elements to gain easy access to our shores. Repeal the 457 Visa's.

I think it's about time the issue of people over 45 not being able to find another job if they lose their current one was addressed. It has been ignored for long enough. In the mean time, I know of more and more people in that age group who cannot find another job and have been told in no uncertain terms that they're too old. Are we going to start supporting these people on welfare when they're perfectly capable of working and want to work?

Although we all know not to believe the media, when the same figures are thrown at us daily by politicians and the media, with no challenging information, most of us accept the propaganda as self-evident fact.

So-paraphrased Hitler's propaganda minister.

So here is the challenge of independent research (Australian Independent 2006 + updates). If you prefer to believe politicians and Rupert Murdoch this is your privilege:

National unemployment, based on the definitions of employment/unemployment established in 1890, and universally accepted ie employment is having a job with a livable wage.
National unemployment: August 2006 19%; 2008 estimated at 21%.
Correlative data: Bulletin Gallop survey 1999; unemployment 23.4%. Commonwealth study into Aboriginal position on poverty line, relative to mainstream Australia; 23%; as opposed to 17% mainstream.
National incomes:
(a) 54% of Australians have incomes below $15,000; (b) 68% have incomes below $29,000. Interpretive position: 54% of Australians are dying in slow motion from lack of access to nutrition, medical and dental care. The dental factor alone will take 10-20 years off their lives due to premature death from heart failure.
