Re: Brexit
I definitely agree with the free movement being a definite no no. Not just purely a selfish reason (I worked hard to get my visa as did many others) but mainly due to the demand of work for even skilled workers. I agree with the troubadour on this. I have struggled to find a job in my specified field. I'm lucky to have been offered one but it has taken a good few months and me having to be flexible and move home, 3 hours away from central Adelaide to the outback regions.
A reason why we have so many over qualified bus drivers, security guards, taxi drivers and the rest. It of course increases difficulty for 'home grown' variety of employment seeker not to say those just out of Uni it training.. It keeps wages down, as well as allowing a coemptive edge to employers in type of contract and conditions on offer.
Certain areas of work is little short of a revolving door, as a growing class of disgruntled move from job to job, often unable to work with inept management and malpractice often hidden by complete incompetency.

As Asian wealth increases though of course, Australia will become les attractive to settle , it will remain a quarry for China and Korea and a few others, as well as a short foray to a nearby country to 'experience' a 'quick hit' of Western Culture.

Re: Brexit
The last thing we need is Bogans breeding with Chavs
I'd take the Chinese and SE Asians any day of the week. One of the first things a lot tend to do is die their hair blond and whack in green or blue contacts then do 3 concurrent jobs, get themselves educated... then open business, say how wonderful it is here and generally gentrify an area.
do have a habit of staining the carpet yellow at the Casino though.
Above all tounge in cheek of course.

WE certainly don't need Asian Bogans being the product of un needed turbo charged as is happening at the moment. Unless Australia is allowed to bloom as a true Multi cultural nation, not just assimilation and in time lose of mother language and complete conformity that Australians tend so much to favour.

Re: Brexit
But back to Brexit. Interesting, though not unexpected, how The Mouth, the dreadful bonking Boris Johnston , has shown little enthusiasm in putting his hand up in order to be the man leading Britain onto bigger and better things. So much to say to sell the leaving part as well.He's fully aware his reputation, (does he possess one of any note?) would be likely further thrashed as would his future ambitions .

Re: Brexit
From my perspective the Prime Minister has largely spend the last couple of years trying to negotiate a Brexit agreement with the EU unilaterally. It's not that surprising that Parliament repeatedly rejected a solution on which there was never an attempt to build a majority consensus previously.
As we saw in indicative Parliamentary votes that, although all motions where defeated, second referendum was the least unpreferred option (followed by Permanent Customs Union and Labours Proposal) while no-deal was among the least preferred options. However the UK needs to get a wriggle on, this business should have been concluded months ago.

Re: Brexit
Sounds like you are finally getting how it works. Let's hope you are putting words into practice.
