I thought I was reading a piece of news from sky news? Too early to jump to conclusions.

This one sure brought out a lot of racists to block. On an unrelated note, watched the great Adam Goodes and Stan Grant documentary tonight, about how they'd like migrants over the past couple of centuries to respect the original culture and people.

Time to leave the lucky country and go home I agree . Our luck just ran out for being stupid and “too” sympathetic to useless fat lazy immigrants that are now destroying our way of life due to the cost of housing and feeding them . Great 👍. My grandfather would be ashamed .

Yes Hong Kong will save us

How about all the people that came here to work go home?

Get real. Those jobs are held by the far left. Their fellow socialists can help them out.

One job for every 10 people on the dole in NSW, Victoria'It defies reality that the Prime Minister believes that he can snap-back JobSeeker, when there are nowhere near enough jobs for the people who need them.' I sorted out a job 🤷🏼‍♂️ Why would anyone work when there are calls for the JobSeeker rates to be extended? There are signs in Marine Parade Coolangatta, seeking Staff. 🤔 How is that possible? To have to resort to putting up a sign to get people to work? 🙄
