Conservatives Now Quietly Panicking After Labor Agrees To Slash Rent Raisers And Wage Suppressor Numbers

Members of various business councils, housing bodies and conservative groups are today on high alert.

This comes after the Federal Government leaked to the media that they are planning on 'cracking down on migration.'

While technically they are just doing things to make sure they hit the reduced figures they have promised, the move is being billed as a crackdown.

The current promised figure is 245,000 people arriving in the country over the next year, 115,000 higher than the anti-immigration advocate Pauline Hanson, who would still bring 130,000 people a year in.

The populist move from the government of a country that doesn't have enough teachers, engineers, doctors, nurses, food delivery drivers, hospo staff (and the list goes on) comes in an attempt to ward off the surge of One Nation and their anti-immigration rhetoric.

However, the move has raised concern amongst the business community, who are hoping that Labor aren't serious about actually shrinking the migrant underclass who can be exploited to keep wages low and profits high.

Fresh off the back of a big scare during the Covid pandemic where plenty of businesses were forced to have deal with Australians demanding better wages and conditions as a result of no longer being undercut by a steady wave of people from less blessed countries who are willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead - employers are hoping another scare isn't coming.

"Yeah, hopefully they are just foxing," mused Grahame Anderson, the head of the Betoota Business Council (BBC).

"Like Howard, when he talking about asylum seekers throwing babies over board and stopping the boats, while he doubled Australia's migration levels and brought them to record levels to ensure wages were kept low and the housing bubble kept chugging."

"Because with the tax changes, if we start taking away another pillar of the national property insurance scheme, that will also cause havoc."

"And if businesses no longer have enough international workers willing to work below minimum wage with fuck all entitlements and shit conditions, they might have to start paying Aussies, and that's scary!"

"So fingers crossed it's just PR like Johnny boys."

More to come.
