I did not read all of the link. Don't you have semi skill trades people from elsewhere around the world like the Middle East or South Asia?

Yes we do, and they bring with them the same work standards that they apply at home

It's not just an engineering or building industry thing either. The healthcare industry is being swamped with so-called healthcare workers from Africa, and various parts of Asia who also transfer their "standards" into our system.

Don't get me started. Oh, you have!

Are there not enough Australian girls to fill those nursing jobs? My sister is an RN. She tells me that we had go to India at one time a few years back to hire their nurses. I was shock. Why not our girls? There's just not enough of them here.
