Andrew Bolt on immigration to fill labour shortages

May 17, 2008

But the real question is how are such people to fit in - in bad times as well as these good? How are we to give a future, a sense of community, to the Australians this Government is pushing out of jobs to be done by immigrants?

On those critical issues Evans has said not a word. We may well need more immigrant workers, but we need even more some policies and procedures to make sure we’re building a community, and not fracturing it.

Heart warming. Someone talking about community. Someone suggest we are actually more than just an economy - how radical. But such thoughts have been excised from Labor's vocabulary. They've gone the full global village. Non-discrimination, always and everywhere. They've gone the full colour-blind. To object to an economic need on the basis of immigrants' race or culture would make you a 'racist'. Labor has excised community from their soul.
