australia killing its economy by rates rises, page-10

Hi ostfront, i deal with sham 457 immigration at my workplace every day, do we all realise that i believe there is 500k 457 workers in aussie right now?,this has put enormous pressure on housing but it has increased demand for everything and buisness has boomed, but what about normal aussies?, you try and negotiate a enterprise bargaining agreement in a workplace where they use 457s, you are lucky to get them to sit down and talk to you, and these same aussies have to fork out 300k for a 3 bedroom hardiplank home in brissy, talk about boom and bust!! i dearly hope some of howards cronies filled thier pockets while the average aussie has gone backwards.
