Migrants matter as clock ticks on boom

THE debate over the use of migrant workers in Australian mines during the past week has made at least one thing very clear - it makes a lot of people very uncomfortable to talk about it.

As it happens, there are very good historical, social and economic reasons behind the use of migrant labour in resource projects and even better reasons for us to allow it to continue.

Your super fund is one of them.

The average Australian super fund has about 60 per cent (and often more) allocated to Australian equities and approximately one-quarter of that will be in mining stocks such as BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto.

Gina Rinehart doesn't want migrant workers because they are cheap. They're the same price as locals. She wants them because she doesn't have the years up her sleeve required to find enough Australian workers before her "window of opportunity" to sell the Chinese more iron ore closes.

And because the project will not be funded unless a secure source of labour is demonstrated.

So the argument is that the long term good will be sacrificed for short term profit? Or is there a post mining boom plan to secure Australia's prosperity with our subsequent greatly expanded population and diminishing supplies of cheaply accessible mineral resources?

You are being too kind to that horrifically greedy, self-centered cow. I don't think there are even the words to describe her.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis. Topics unsuitable for the main forum may be discussed in the lounge. You agree you won't use this forum to post material that is illegal, private, defamatory, pornographic, excessively abusive or profane, threatening, or invasive of another forum member's privacy.

Accusations, attacks, abuse or threats, litigious or otherwise, directed against the forum or forum administrators aren't tolerated and will result in immediate suspension of your account for a number of days depending on the severity of the attack. No spamming or advertising in the main forum. Spamming includes repeating the same message over and over again within a short period of time. Don't post ALL CAPS thread titles. The Advertising and Promotion Subforum may be used to promote your Australian property related business or service. Active members of the forum who contribute regularly to main forum discussions may also include a link to their product or service in their signature block. Members are limited to one actively posting account each. A secondary account may be used solely for the purpose of maintaining a blog as long as that account no longer posts in threads.
