... because farmers businesses are built on, and rely on, migrant workers.
Pickers. Packers. Truckers. Slaughterhouse workers. Butchers.
Joyce wants farming to wither and die.
He is not the farmers friend.
Watching Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl, and I have a lot of thoughts and prayers for all the Melbourne AFL footy hacks whoβve been touting the company line about how a night GF will mean better half-time and pre-game entertainment.

One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didnβt even pay to ensure they got home.
Abolish the billionaire class:
Man it's the craziest thing, I used my billions to purchase a successful media company, only to suddenly decide it's actually unsuccessful according to new metrics I invented and I have to close it down AGAIN. What are the odds?
