Good point 🙂

There are other parties?

Very true – you should pop that up as a post this morning – I will delay my make work fallacy post 😉

I’m sorry, I thought I was in 1930’s Germany for a minute there.

Two things:

1) I don’t care about New Zealander’s anymore than I care about other people (although I don’t really like Australians 😛 ). I try to remember that these are all people. As a result, we need a little more that “national sovereignty” to justify biased policy.

2) There are minimum wage laws in the country – if a New Zealander can do the job, they will get the job, as they are shipper to “ship in”. If New Zealander’s are lazy or unproductive and that is why they are losing work then maybe we should be glad they are all moving to Australia.

I would also be careful talking about “dis-placed workers” – there isn’t a limited pool of jobs, if we have productive staff working this creates jobs for other people. If we are only bringing in migrants that work this CREATES JOBS my friend.

Now, I’m even willing to accept that in exceptional circumstances, when other countries are doing it, it may be in the national interest to limit migration. But what they have done is worse than that, they are talking about REVOKING SOMEONES WORK PERMIT for no fault of their own.

They are talking about completely screwing over some peoples lives because “they aren’t New Zealander’s”. That is disgusting – and if that happens I’m looking at leaving the country and finding somewhere that actually respects human rights.
