You'll probably complain about that though out of self interest.

Oh yes, it's great that you brought up this point. When you can comfortably argue that "the opposition would've done the exact same thing", then what does the Labor Party stand for? What are its principles or pillars if it would just do what the other party does?

Isn't Labor pro... Well, labour? Pro the working class, screw big business. Leave the pandering to big business wishes to the LNP.

Yet here they are, bringing in record immigration, fodder for businesses to lower their wage bills. Surely you can't expect the local workforce not to be affected by doing this?

They might as well stop calling themselves Labor because they clearly do not stand for the working class.

EDIT: I didn't say "money we don't have". You got me confused with someone else.
