Well, I look at it as blatant discrimination, based on nationality. What should happen is thoes that are *best* fit for the job, irrespective of sex, religion, political beliefs, nationality, etc, are given a fair chance.
Whatever happened to the Aussie spirit of "fair go" I might ask?
I lay the blame to all of this firmly at John Howard's feet. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, he's a racist bugger. But then, as my dad would say, so are most Australians. Now, before you all go and chew my head off for this comment, consider this - my father was a migrant to Australia, and has had to deal with people deliberately not wanting to understand him for a long time (because of his accent). It seems to be some sort of fun game amongst many people. I'm sure Aussies are no different to other countries natives greeting migrants I might add. Discrimination is built into human nature unfortunately, and it's one of our uglier habits.
