Hey SMH any chance of reporting what % of refugees are on any form of gov benefit after 5 years in Australia? Associated crime stats would also be welcome.

Wonder if it also includes government ignoring small or large buisness paying cash in hand and very low wages to new migrants & fair work doing nothing if its under 10k. The huge buildings being put up everywhere surely has some corruption between council and developer too.

Of course, not letting us know which building has flammable cladding means we must assume ALL of them have flammable cladding and thus will crater the market for such apartments

Maybe the govt is embarrassed of all the problems on its watch and easier to hide it from the public and let it fester n proliferate instead of having the courage to stand up and do what their paid to do - manage the nation. Could explain recent issues on freedom of media ?
