One more question, then I'll be quiet and let others have a go. (sorry this topic really fascinates me)
"Sell our soul" is used quite often. I'm curious what people mean when they say it.
So hypothetically speaking, if a Chinese company came tomorrow, and said lets build a project, but the condition is that 10% of the workforce should include 457 visa workers. This deal would result in 5000 full time Australian jobs over the next 10 years, and the payback would be 20 years. If you took the deal, would that be selling our soul?
How about selling our resources?
Or how about something a bit more trivial, would something like playing AFL games in Shanghai be considered "selling our soul"? Kochie has copped his fair flak.
Interested to hear people's thoughts on threshold and why.
Ok, I better get back to work. Funnily I have had this banter with my manager, who is lives in the UK, and he cannot believe what is going on here. He reckons the torries are being deliberately quiet, because brexit is coming up and they are going to need to build better relationships with China. Hmmmmmm
