I once heard
a preacher say about the Bible that it does not tell us what happened, it tells
us what always happens. That is correct. The Bible teaches us how to live in
light of the wisdom offered by the Lord of creation. He shows us in his word
how the corrupt will always act if they are not restrained.
I've written
many articles about how our immigration policy is a form of exploitation.
Both to
create a vulnerable workforce (do a bit of reading into slaves in the massage
business for example), but also to suppress Australians own wages.
Now a
prominent politician is actually saying the truth out loud, about big business,
governments, and mass immigration,
“Liberal
frontbencher Andrew Hastie has accused “big business” of agitating against
migration reform “because they like having a vulnerable workforce” on temporary
visas.
Labor,
the Coalition, and One Nation have all targeted temporary visa holders in
proposed reforms to Australia’s migration system.
However,
business leaders, including the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry,
have warned significant cuts to that cohort would hit some sectors hard.
The
Coalition has proposed reducing the overall number of temporary visa holders by
650,000 over four years, with certain priorities for aged care, healthcare, and
construction workers.
Addressing
the pushback, Mr Hastie told the ABC on Friday big businesses were “making
noise” because they “like having a vulnerable workforce on temporary visas”.
“There’s
a reason why they want that. Because they’re non-unionised. They can pay them
less. And they have an element of power,” he said.
“Because,
of course, someone on a temporary visa is not going to make a whole bunch of
noise.”[1]
A government
that is not solely focused on serving its own people, but that has the power to
replace its people with other, easily, will disrespect both. It is just a fact of human
power dynamics.
I came to the
conclusion that this is how big business and the corrupt act towards the worker
not through studying social studies, or things like that, though I have studied
those things. I came to this conclusion by reading the Old Testament prophets
and seeing how the powerful would exploit the weak when they were not
restrained. And human nature has not changed.
Of course,
you can look at how immigration suppresses wages, drives up rents, puts
pressure on social services, and more to see that it does not serve the populations
upon which mass immigration is imposed, and see the same problems. But really,
it is God’s word that reveals the heart of man and how he will act when he is given
too much power over the worker and not enough incentives to act justly. Other research just confirms this.
And now a prominent
politician has said this is the case out loud.
Things are changing.
Australia is a hard left country. We are on track to become the new Argentina
in my lifetime; that is a basket-case economy that was once one of the richest
per capita countries in the world. If more leaders start speaking the truth on
issues like this, we have a chance to turn this situation around.
