Rudd scales back Pacific worker plan

August 09, 2008

KEVIN Rudd has dramatically scaled back plans for a controversial Pacific "guest worker" scheme amid concerns of a community backlash.

The Coalition has already raised concerns over the radical immigration plan, allowing islanders to work in rural communities for up to seven months.

But with unemployment on the rise, the Rudd Government has halved the number of participants to just 2500 over three years.

Bringing Islanders into rural areas will effectively turn them into no-go zones for whites. Ever since immigration has come into Australia, whites have moved away from it. This will just create another no-go zone. Here is a summary of problems with guest worker programs. When whites move away, this will create even further labour shortages, meaning that all rural labour will then have to be imported. If you destroy the white community, you then have to replace it with something else. We should be rebuilding rural communities, not destroying them.
