we need to be putting trade tarrifs on chinese and indian goods, because until our wages and standard of living drop to similar levels as the big asian production countries we will continue to be out-competed

You have a computer. Go and use it to learn about the many peoples of this vast world.

what a tw@t, you assume i dont have knowledge about other cultures because you have no sense of humour like the rest of the pc brigade, allow me to educate you, i spent 3 years working in red cross refugee camps in east timor and liberia, so after you absail down off your high horse tell me what you do for your fellow man?

I don’t believe you. I’ve seen comments you’ve made about Jews. Now it turns out you have prejudices against Indians.

We shouldnt do business with India until they ban child labour.

i commented about crimes by israelii jews on palestinians, do you think they should be excused criminal behaviour just because they are jewish? that is called positive discrimination and is no less flawed

Yes, you are.

Prat.

sorry then, ill try to delete the image from my mind…….there now, its gone, all better?

we feel exactly the same about you Irish here in Australia. IRISH NEED NEED NO APPLY!!!

There’s no point in bringing them back if there are no jobs for them. The BRICS countries are the fastest growing countries. If we can tap in to some of that growth, that will mean jobs.

I agree Danny but there are thousands of Indians in Ireland working in sectors that Irish people could be working in such as IT and health. I work in health myself and we have lots of Indians nurses while our own emigrate because they cant find work. There are Indians working in every single convenience store in ireland, they cant all be studying here. I know a few who are here the past 8 years on student visas that are constantly renewed without them having to actually prove they are studying and recently, a friend of mine and her husband, both who are here 7 years got in touch with the Dept. of Justice, explained that they are here 8 years, (they work in coffee shops) and the Minister told them to send their paper work in and he’d see what he could do for them.
We are not short coffee shop workers or shop assistants yet these are the jobs we are taking unskilled migrants from outside the EU for but we have plenty of skilled people of our own yet we are filling those jobs from abroad too. Its hard to know whats going on.

Sorry, the couple I am talking about are from Mauritius and are here 7 years. Neither are skilled and both work in coffee shops.

again Irish are hated in Australia, we kinda want you guys gone

SXCC, really? Australia wants us gone? Then you need to tell Australian companies to stop having monthly recruitment fairs offering highly skilled graduates jobs there cos the Aussies just arent skilled enough and if you have an issue with us Paddys, then maybe you should get off an irish website if we piss you off so much.
Ive had 4 job offers in Sydney by the way, seems like you lot just dont have the skills your country needs! Scarlet for you!

we are skilled enough tvm. just don’t want to do crappy skilled jobs. there are heaps of u guys here and bloody poms. we are a young prosperous nation and can afford to hire folks from IMF recipient country like yours. insted of being a cow say thanks my Aussie friend.
