Apparently Bob Geldoff, who is an expert in economic matters and employment, wants to offer advice to Australia on how to solve the skills shortage
Australia 'economically stupid', says Geldoff
We really think the advice of an itinerant englishman might be useful in this context since they have had such a good experience of importing labour from other places, but before you call us stupid it might be worthwhile to examine the UK history of success in managing indigenous employment and immigration, and of course, training indigenous populations.
Just how did the english deal with indigenous populations in Australia. First they exported large numbers of Irish to these shores under conditions of "slavery" to settle the lands
They employed the indigenies as targets, holding hunts with instructions to bring back heads. This of course, trained these populations to run fast and hide. Later they trained them as stockmen and herders offering tobacco and flour as wages. Women and children were taken and used as kitchen hands and servants, etc, etc. So what we have the english to thank for is an indigenous population that expects low wages, meniel work and brutality. Is it any reason we haven't been successful in training them and have to import skilled labour. As I have said before we have enough labourers, camel drivers and fishermen.
What I suggest Mr. Geldoff do for our indigenous populations is hold a relief concert and give us some relief by leaving, since we also have enough people who can tell us what the problem is but not one is able to tell us how to get the indigenous population to be interested in the white man's dream.
