  Speaker 2: to have residency and eventually citizenship with no questions asked.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: That is the route of many people's dissatisfaction.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: So the just a six dollars daily levy on temporary
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: work visas, a five year welfare ban and more enforcement
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: on overstays plus English language requirements get a bit tougher two.

  Speaker 1: Pretty sensible, No.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Mate, I just see it.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: It's not really worth getting out of bed for this
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: because most of it's already here a superfluous it's post
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: during Minister stam is actually tidied most of us up already,
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: And I.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Thought mister Sima could have done much better helping.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: To refine the business categories rather than sort of talking
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: around with something that's already been fixed.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: We don't have a levy on temporary work visas at
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the moment to pay for infrastructure, do we?
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: No?
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: But that's just means spirited and shortsighted, because we you know,
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: we capture them here before they get citizenship of five years,
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: we're talking about making that ten years before they can
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: go across the ditch with the rest of our best
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: and brightest to the land of Milk and honey. But look,
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: it's it's small money compared to what these people are taxed,

  Speaker 4: and so who cares.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Why wouldn't we do it?
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: We need roads when in hospitals, we need police stations,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: and the Aussies do this over there.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: Well, I think it's because we can actually be sort
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: of have a bit more pride about coming to this
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: country than bringing people six dollars a day that I
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: just said it is.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: I don't think it'll ever happen. I think it's a joke.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Do you think we need more infrastructure for the people
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: who do come?
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, we certainly do. And that's why who's going to
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: pay for that? Well, there's a good answer there.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: We've got billions of dollars flowing through under the Golden
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Visa program, and there are specialist infrastructure funds that have.
