    Ever looked at the names of the people who deliver ubereats, or drive the cars, etc? There’s still a disparity. We’re just better at making sure the lower classes aren’t fucked over as badly.

    Which makes your point, to be fair. But there’s still an underclass. 1 in 7 people live below the poverty line in Australia.

    Edit: Check this out. Just read this on the ABC website.

      That’s funny I read that as well and I got to this part:

      Now in Australia illegally on an expired visa

      She shouldn’t be here

        She is here though. And on her visa, she still did not have Medicare, apparently.

        Also, there’s a lot of people on expired visas working the jobs most don’t want to do.

        I don’t like it either. If we let this expand, it will become economically integral to Australia like in America, and the misery will be entrenched and defended by the business lobby.
