So what's the point?
Already today companies get hundreds of applications for a single position. We have students with double degrees that cannot get work.
What does this mean? NOT EVERYONE HAS TO WORK.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?NOT EVERYONE HAS TO WORK.
A complete change in our thinking has to take place. The efficiencies in farming, manufacturing, business, logistics and retail have reduced - and are further reducing - the need for people to be employed.
Add to this the population growth around the world, with all countries competing in the global food production and manufacturing industries, means that over priced Australians are going to have even less jobs in major food and goods production.
And if you don't believe this statement, take a look at the manufacturing industry in Australia. Ford, Holden (GM) and Toyota are all leaving. Australians cost too much. The in-country market is too small and too far away from the global markets.
Currently the global population is just over 7 billion. To check out what it might be when you read this click here. The latest research seems to suggest that global population will peak at around 9-10 billion people. Here's what has happened. And here's the future prediction.
So how does this affect the world and Australia?

Globally we produce an excessive amount of goods (food, vehicles, houses, buildings, appliances and stuff), and if you do not think so take a look at Target, Kmart and Big W.
Australiacould stop producing all food and consumer goods and the rest of the world could pick up the supply. And because we have to pay for the standard of living of our own workers, if we got everything from overseas, the prices would most probably go down.
Don't expect the politicians to come up with any ideas as our political system is broken. Any system that works in a popularity contest is flawed from the start. Understand the following priorities.
