Taking our jobs
Don’t make the mistake of blaming only the Liberals and then vote Labor or the homosexual Democrats and greens for you will be exchanging one bad government for another.
Vote wisely. I would list those loyal to Australia if only they would contact me.

Work Choices on a Trolley
A planeload of immigrants has been flown into Darwin to take the jobs of trolley collectors, earning $9 an hour at the Casuarina Shopping Centre.
The surprise present was delivered, in person, by a Starlink boss who told disgruntled locals he was flying north to discuss their grievances. The LHMU has stepped into the breach to back 10 trolley collectors who want to be paid for working extra hours.
"These people aren't union members but they are low-paid workers being harshly exploited," LHMU industrial officer, Geoff Hull, said. "They have no income and their families face a pretty miserable Christmas."
The dispute blew up after Starlink, a nationwide trolley collection contractor, ordered its Darwin franchise to increase hours but refused to pay extra money. Local collectors say they now work as late as midnight for an effective rate of $9 an hour. They have no beef with their immediate employer who took over the service after a previous contractor shot through without paying his bills.
"The employer has confirmed the replacement workers are migrants but we don't know if they are on 457 visas or not," Hull said. "It is a ridiculous situation, flying foreigner in to undercut workers already being paid below the minimum wage. If they are on skilled labour visas it is even more ridiculous."
The LHMU is offering advice and hopes to set up a web presence where locals can offer the trolley collectors moral and financial support. Hulls said Starlink had refused to negotiate and the collectors were taking their grievances direct to big retailers in the centre who had "some affinity" with the local community.
