dtcwee: The Value of Nothing

How worried should Australians be about immigrant criminals? Man Haron Monis was not just a violent convicted criminal when he besieged Sydney's Lindt cafe , he was also a self-styled Islamist and a migrant. As part of a visible minority - and thus under constant pressure to be an ambassador for migration - I am bracing myself to hear the most self-righteous anti-immigration opinions since 9-11, e.g. "We shouldn't let 'them' into the country." "Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists seem to be Muslims." [And all car accidents involve cars.] Being a victim apparently justifies ignorant overreaction. What do I mean by ignorance?

Good help is apparently hard to find. Family peers now in manager-class roles occasionally humblebrag about recruiting staff. Moans about finding a 'good fit for the culture' or the oxymoronic 'autonomous team player' are in essence a rehash of, "It's so hard to find good help these days." In Japan, good help finds you!
