I'm not happy with workers being brought in from o/seas to undermine Aussie jobs. But that's globalisation and Rudd has not promised to wind that back. It can be argued that this began under hawke-Keating...they both had a poor record of protecting Aussie jobs.
Bold prediction #1: the job trends and woes that you've identified Rabbitoh will *not* be fixed under Rudd-Gillard.
Bold prediction #2: after tonight's victory speech, we will *not* hear the term "working families" used again until the next election.
