The Leader of the Opposition, when he is not pretending to be a champion of the poor and oppressed, when he is not pretending to be a tribune of the people, claims to be standing up for Australian workers, denouncing the horror of foreigners coming to work in Australia, stealing Australian jobs. Oh, his patriotic heart beats so hard! But, then, when it comes to backpackers, all of whom are foreigners, he wants them to pay 10.5 per cent tax. He wants them to pay lower tax than an Australian working in the field alongside them.
