There are too many temporary migrant workers in Australia.

Except when employers need them.

Then apparently Australian workers are just “bung lazy”.

Barnaby Joyce says backpackers should be protected from Labor’s proposed visa cuts because Australians won’t do the work.

This from a party that says temporary migration is out of control and “cheap foreign labour” is undercutting Australian workers.

So which is it?

Are temporary workers taking Australian jobs?

Or do employers need them because Australian workers are too lazy?

Maybe the real problem isn’t Australian workers.

Maybe it’s politicians who blame workers instead of asking why some jobs struggle to attract and retain Australians.

GET THE FACTS: Two thirds of Australia’s gross debt was racked up by the Coalition.

In just 9 years, the Coalition racked up $607.8 billion of gross debt, and doubled debt even before COVID.

One Nation has come under fire for quietly shelving support for a new domestic gas reservation policy in preference for a policy that favours the party’s billionaire patron, Gina Rinehart.

The Albanese Labor Government has announced it will establish a new reservation policy for Australia’s east coast, requiring gas exporters to supply a portion of the gas they produce to the domestic market. The policy is designed to put downward pressure on prices for consumers.

The reservation plan has been vehemently opposed by Senex, a $900m company that is 49 per cent owned by Gina Rinehart’s mining company.

Pauline Hanson moved a Senate motion as recently as March 2026 in support of a domestic gas reserve, saying it would “increase the supply of gas and lower the price of electricity directly”, but for some reason, she has now changed her mind.

The Labor government's resources minister, Madeleine King, said “One Nation claims to support Aussie families but the truth is they are always on the side of their big business backers.”

The Coalition's spokesperson for energy affordability and security, Garth Hamilton, said that Pauline Hanson had “dramatically” changed her position to one that benefited Ms Rinehart.

“This policy backflip must be for the benefit of her donors, because it is not for the benefit of the Australian people,” he said.
