if you have no reference,
if you have no connection,
if you possess an accent,
try to find a job and let me know.
Although I live in the “Lucky Country”! Yes Australia
where everybody wants to migrate,
my quest is futile and frustrating.
This country calls itself classless and
“ fair go” is supposed to be its motto!
Read the newspapers and see how quickly jobs are disappearing
like ice exposed to the global warming of border-less ultra-capitalism.
like ice exposed to the global warming of border-less ultra-capitalism.
Soon your age, your connection and accent will not even matter.
The same people who glorify nationalism
let the jobs go to cheap labour countries
then demonize the poor unemployed left behind
by calling them dole bludgers.
They also make sure that pension age
Is a movable line set further and further.
It will be 67 anon.
Try to get a job at 65 when you can’t get one at 55.
Keep yours if you still have the chance of having one!
You do not know how long you will have it!
