Like believing that wind turbines cause infrasound sickness?

Has it been proven that infrasound sickness isn't real?

You can't prove an imaginary sickness isn't real the same way you can't prove God doesn't exist but there's no evidence to suggest there's any correlation between wind turbines and illness.

So its neither party's fault?

No I wouldn't say that at all.

It's both their fault at least in part. If they actually worked together and passed budgetary saving measures in response to the emergency, then both sides can put their hand on heart and blame the GFC.

Since that is not the case, then they have to accept responsibility together and conjointly.

Yeah I had never heard about it.

I did some Googling and yeah doesn't seem like anything is really confirmed. It isn't as extreme as chemtrails but it's definitely on the path to tinfoil.

So IT companies are mad about the 457 scrapping because they rely heavily on foreign workers?

So what's the point of young Aussies doing IT degrees here then?

Love the backlash on social media where small business owners absolutely tear Aussie workers a new one.

All sorts of harsh smack downs being thrown around with stuff like lazy, unreliable, demanding etc.

Whilst the right winger in me says this is a good move to give people who can't find a job a better crack, you have to feel that businesses will miss out because of the much greater work ethic some foreign workers have.

I recognise some companies exploit the system for sure (cough call centres cough).

I actually applaud the announcement today about de-centralization of government departments etc where applicable. 

Be interesting to see if it actually happens though.

My thoughts exactly. He's stealing stuff from the Bernadi/One Nation playbook.

Seems like a heap has happened so far this week.

457 is a big business scam to screw over locals, I applaud this move. If that makes me xenophobic so be it. 

But then again it doesn't appear to be removing 457 from IT/Engineering/Accounting sectors, so most people are affected by it won't be helped. Sums up the Turnbull government really - superficial changes with no real impact.

Might affect 7/11s and Taxis I spose.

I agree with the changes to Citizenship RE: convicted of violent crimes or gang affiliations.

How things like social testing and so forth is determined and adjudicated remains to be seen.

457's do allow companies to employ people who actually want to work.

Know a few contractors who are screwed because their labourers all want $35/hr to lean on a shovel and complain about how hard life is.

I got an issue with criminally charging owners of a business. Like their house and castle.

If they said I wasn't welcome there then I wouldn't go there and it is their loss from a business perspective. End of the day, I don't agree with it but believe its their right.

They shouldn't be forced.

Having racist signs up is called being a c*nt.

What I was more pointing out is that this is a small article yet if you had a no muslims policy it would be national news and ANTIFA would probably punch out your mum.

Ha ha ha. This whole Yassmin thing is great.

The 'Right" (Hanson, Bolt, Christensen et al) are having conniptions over this Yassmin lady and her ANZAC day comments and the huge blowback about their hypocrisy over their support for 18C on twitter and facebook is just comic gold.

Because she represents everything these people are afraid of or hate.  She's a woman, she's outspoken, she's brown and worst of all she's, shock horror, a moslem 

George Christensen suggested she 'self deport' herself.  Basically to 'go back to where you came from'.

Never heard of it until today but got a chuckle out of the Darwin wet T-shirt comp.  Only speaking about wet T-shirt comps yesterday and I was saying Darwin would be about the only place they'd still have them and then lo and behold.
