Language barriers are also an added..how can they be employable if communication is a problem?
The learning curve is steep.
What I've noticed in the last 10 years compared to the 10 years before that is that technology has eroded a lot of the traditional jobs that require little skill or qualification.

Maybe you should ask the refugees in Germany and see if they've found work yet

http://theconversation.com/factcheck-qanda-do-refugees-cost-australia-100m-a-year-in-welfare-with-an-unemployment-rate-of-97-54395

"Employment increases over time. So the ABS survey also shows that in 2013 only 19% had a job, but over the 10 years covered by the survey, 36% had a job at some time."

Something to do with the racist nature of Anglo-Saxon Australians perhaps?

Yes us whities are such awful people, how dare we take in millions of refugees and allow them to languish on benefits, free housing, education and healthcare, woe to the devil white man.

Pauline Hanson loves your work.

50/50 in the polls

Briggs is looking like a goner \:d/

Not so good news in my seat :cry:

That one really is shocking that he can have that sort of margin after how shit he's performed both for his electorate, and as a minister ](*,)

Cant see Shortens campaign based on unfunded promises, gutter politics and scare mongering being sustainable into the last couple weeks of the election. The mendacious accusations that the government are going to privatse Medicare have been particularly disturbing. it really goes to the heart of the kind of person Bill Shorten is trying to strike fear into the hearts of vulnerable Australians who depend on the public system to try and score a few cheap votes. Bill Shorten says Australians do best when you treat them as intelligent people, yet he is happy to lie directly to Australians and ramp up the fear rhetoric to try and get into government.

It really says a lot about Labors tactics and policies when the libs campaign has been utterly insipid and they still look likely to win the election.

scare mongering :oops:

Worst ad I've seen in a long time :lol:

:lol: I saw this pop up yesterday, not even remotely convincing.

Can't remember who said it but I laughed when I heard "negative gearing is covering for someone elses poor investment choices".

It's a fair call, I'm just concerned that my house price will get hit and I'd rather not lose $20k or whatever it's going to be.

Be interesting to see the promised budgeted costings that's meant to be released by ALP before the election.

lol damn right comments are disabled for that video.

The ad is just embarrassingly bad. My only explanation is they hired an agency who secretly support labor and wanted to make it look as bad as possible. The line "i reeeken we should steeek wif the current mob for a while" while holding his coffee mug which probably has no coffee in it was particularly cringe worthy.

Turns out he's a real tradie :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I've seen unsupported posts on FB say he's a property developer.

Brah I've seen unsupported posts on FB that he's the leader of ISIS :lol:

Sorry definitely an actor :)

Oh no did he build his own home? The greed..

From the same article:

"It’s also worth noting that Australian policy denied the right to work to some 26,000 people seeking asylum who arrived to Australia by boat after August 13, 2012, when they were released from immigration detention into the community. Many were forced to rely on Centrelink payments to survive.

While the immigration minister began in early 2015 to grant such people the right to work, the process has been administratively difficult and many remain forcibly reliant on Centrelink payments."

"When contacted by The Conversation, a spokesman for the Department of Social Services, which manages access to the Building a New Life in Australia data on behalf of AIFS, said it was “not possible to accurately calculate an ‘unemployment rate’ using the study’s data”.

The Building a New Life in Australia study is not a representative snapshot of all refugees in Australia. As it notes, the majority of people involved in the study were new arrivals: 75% had been living in Australia less than six months and 85% for one year or less".

"Interestingly, second generation humanitarian entrants have been found to have higher rates of labour market participation than the first generation, and in many cases higher than for second generation Australians".

Most importantly:

"The statement that refugees have an unemployment rate of 93% is clearly inaccurate, as the the ABS survey Characteristics of Recent Migrants, Australia, Nov 2013 shows".

No - probably more to do with Australian govt policy PREVENTING refugees from working.

:lol:

I do not understand why these people would not be given permission to work???????

Yeh sorry I should have put it in blue. As per my above post I really do not understand why these people would be prevented from working? What has the government got to lose?

The other "spanner in the works" is that with the high NXT vote, predicted preference flows may not be accurate.

Many polls base preference flows on the last election.

It will be fascinating to see how it all actually pans out.

I can only assume that this is to prevent a South Park-esque "THEY TOOK OUR JEEEEERBS!!!!" scenario occurring.

I saw NXT's primary vote as high as 24% in Sturt somewhere. I still hold onto hope :lol:

You're just cherry picking.

http://www.news.com.au/national/a-world-of-long-term-welfare-for-refugees/story-e6frfkvr-1226050161428

"MORE than 60 per cent of refugees to Australia have failed to get a job after five years, according to a damning Federal Government report into the humanitarian settlement program.
And 83 per cent of those households now rely on welfare payments for income.
The greatest unemployment rate was recorded among new arrivals from Iraq and Afghanistan, with less than one in 10 finding full-time work and 93.7 per cent of households receiving Centrelink payments."
