Re: The Romanians Are Coming.
All i know is the Western World has had it, You have problems with Migrants, Well in Australia the People smugglers send them here by boats small ones, but the more sophisticated smugglers are selling Flight tickets and false Visa,s and thousands of Illegal entrys are coming in via the main door at Sydney and Melbourne Airports and the new Federal Govt are saying nothing.
Mr Morrison our Minister for Immigration has less brains than a Parking meter, His Operation Sovereign Borders is top secret and his three Star general answers all the questions every friday and says i cant tell you anything its an Operational Matter, and yet one boat even landed at Xmass island and the occupants were walking the streets of Xmass Island and Mr Morrison knew nothing, so this fink who is the minister for migration will probably get us all into more trouble than we were in before because he is using that Famous guy that controlled Germanys methods of 1939, i wont mention his name cos its top secret.
Its an International Problem now , Worldwide and as these people get more determined to undermine our system we will finish up Third World Countrys, The problem has to be fixed up at the Point of the Start of their migration not the end of it.
It shouldnt be our Border controls that have to stop these people . Criminals shouldnt have the right of International Travel from their Country of Origin.
This stupid chap here has adopted the James Bond system and it is disintergrating in front of him as People realize he hasnt stopped any boats and the Holding camps are full up
you get sick of listening to politicol Liars and this lot are worse than the last lot, theyll take every last vestage of good things like pensions and travel and Restrictions on super etc theyll take all that away from all the working class people. Maternity allowance for the rich, So they need correcting because they are thick .
Abbott our new Prime minister has stopped the migration of Blow flies because his mouth is always open, its been reported that his wife could be a Transvestite. well now. all the best from Sunny Australia the place where we dont make cars any more.

Re: The Romanians Are Coming.
My next door neighbour works for customs at Melbourne airport and also as a scrutineer in Indonesia. He tells me that about 100 per day arrive at Melbourne and Sydney airport, of which 50 are returned as being non asylum. Unlike those arriving by boat who come with no papers these arrive with passports and so called visas, many of which are forgeries.
The going of the car industry will save us a fortune here, it costs the tax payer $48,000 per worker each year to subsidize it.

Re: The Romanians Are Coming.
Listening to the London corrspondent on radio to day he tells of a new proposal by UK gov. Currently child maintainance paymenst are paid to all children up to a possible age of 21. The proposal as I understand it will mean that in future only the first wto children of any partnership wil recieve this. Will it apply to those coming from EU?

Re: The Romanians Are Coming.
We have over 2 million out of work here and yet we have UK employers going to Romania on a recruitment drive what does that say about our workforce and education.We had to recruit a young woman from Romania as a pharmacist,she was'nt here long before being promoted.Are we not training pharmacist's here anymore? After making thousand redundant from the NHS we are now recruiting from abroad.I remember a couple of years ago it was said that we were training to many midwives and there was a great surplus of them so much so that many of them could not get a placement.My mates daughter is a midwife he tells me that we are now short of midwives so all the ones that we trained have most probably taken their skills abroad.

Re: The Romanians Are Coming.
I begg to differ John by closing GMH car Industry it will cost much more with the demise of at least 40 parts manufacturers in victoria and S.A who will also lose their jobs , Perhaps mr Abbott would like to face those that will lose their houses etc through not being able to pay their mortgages. those figures are misconstrued by the new Govt.
It will cost more to have all these people on the dole, the Town of Elizabeth will become a Dead silent city, and drugs Alcohol and all the things associated with unemployment will happen the cost will be gi- normous.
those that are forty years of age who become unemployed will never get a job again in their lifetime.
The car makers also automatically become Defence manufacturers in Wartime too thats planes Trucks and tanks, we will lose all that expertise as well.
For those that think jobs are there , in place of them you are wrong many more jobs will be lost in other industries the federal govt give 3 Billion dollars in subsidies to the mining industry which employs less than the car industry and the mines pay less tax. you work it out. Abbotts Fiscal Emergancy plan is there so that he can sell more of the Govt Assetts and Mines to oversea,s interests it is contrived to do that, he is there to please the big consortiums waiting to buy Australian Industry and all the Ag land too.
car Industry was only part of his plan. we will become a nation of unemployed, very soon. Holden Cars were of a very high standard.
we payed less subsidies than Germany and britain in a very essential Industry in Wartime too.

Re: The Romanians Are Coming.
Cappy that reminds me about the one where the wife said to her husband,your not half starting to look like a horse.Over the weeks the guy noticed his face started to grow longer,his nostrils widened and he started to grow a mane.He went to the doctor,the doctor gave him a note,he asked the doctor is this my prescription doctor,no said the doctor it's a permit to shlt in the street!!!!

Re: The Romanians Are Coming.
HI Glen.
I hope you are ready for the big freeze, our new esteemed treasurer from Lebanon is about to knock Australia for six, selling everything he can lay his hands on as they will only have a short time to do it, if he calls a double dissolution he would be cheese cake. The only thing I hope is that he hits the ones who voted for him the hardest such as the rich child care package.
Cheers Des
