3rd world immigration destroyed my trade and business they came in and I had no work, they got caught and kicked out and then I had more work than I could deal with but only payed crap money, so I could not hope to employ anyone let alone take on an apprentice.
The 3rd world people would come over make huge money and go back home very wealthy men, even tho they worked for half of what I charged and my opposition in one company I worked for was 7 of them doing the same house as me and what took me 6 days took them 3 days. at lunch time they would all squat around in a circle and gamble. their boss an Asian nice bloke he would pay them bugger all but they were happy as when they go home will be very wealthy.
Not to mention that that company I was working for did not care that they used inferior products but I had to use the correct products, I had to repair some of their work, because they refused to do any such and they used the wrong product and the supervisor could not care less. but had it in for me because he thought that I was making to much money and tried to keep me and other good tradesmen down playing games with us. not to mention that he was a socialist and when we pointed out that people like him are destroying the building trade he could not care less. now that job was back in say 2007 and i have seen much worse to the point of such pathetic workmanship that i just had to walk out many a time, the things that I have seen

I would think even a 5yo could do better and now the building industry is a joke, I will never go back. tradesmen are no longer tradesmen they are only labours now.
I worked for one company and he said that he had to give most of his so called tradesmen money for fuel on the first day that he put them on, or they could not turn up for work, he was surprised that I did not need such help and in 3 weeks I told him where he could go. he said that he never met someone like me before, I said I was not his nigger to be played with as he pleased, he wanted a nigger to push around and was used to that power over his workers, but I am not a labourer as I have responsibility's that he can not play games with me.
I believe that a immigrant worker should pay a tax of say 50% before they leave to go home with the money they got and they will still be happy with that. too much money is going out of our country that way and Australia is getting a bad deal over all and we have the sharks here exploiting who ever they can, because they clean up big time and they influence the governments to do stupid things as such.
