Migrants have filled a gap in unskilled & skilled.
Whilst in Bali in August I was advised/seen labour ( I have no way of verifying) in a rice field that was contract labour sought from Java.
My partner immigrated to AUS on the British Boys Movement program.
He was 17 at the time. I happen to be in love with my POM.
Ref Indigenous AUS issues. I have been involved as a administrator along side professionals in Remote health, Housing and Community Devt. Still am in Infrastruture Education.
Its sad,often demoralising because positive outcomes are so progressively slow - you just burn out.
