Had an interesting chat this afternoon to a trady from the suburbs who I thought was as right wing as you could be. He is a FIFO unionist on a mine site, owns a few rental properties and votes ALP.
He was unusually frank in expressing his distain of aboriginal "culture" and social security benefits. His understanding of the root cause of their problems was succinct and concisely phrased. I couldn't repeat it here a his thoughts are illegal to express.
However the most surprising thought he expressed was that we should throw open the borders to anyone who wants to come here. In the same way the USA did in the early 1900s. He accepted that the social security system would collapse and would have to be shut down. His thought was that "all the bludgers would then have to get a job".
Perhaps he is right? We could allow the Tamil family and anyone else who can get here to stay. Our population would rise rapidly, there would be a boom but our indolent would have to work.
