Are the farmers forcing tourists to work at gunpoint?

I am being perfectly sensible here. What is the problem? Nobody is forcing people to come to Australia. Nobody is forcing anybody to work for low wages.

Quite frankly, I was of the opinion that backpackers quite liked the idea of working in regional Australia as I have seen some clips on the TV of overseas backpackers saying how much they enjoyed the experience and would like to return to Australia again. I think that your article is therefore exaggerated, and it is just another Australia bashing exercise by a member of the pseudo intellectual class who think that slagging off about their own country and culture is what hip and intelligent people should always do. Your low opinion of your own country, people and culture is therefore just an identifying feature for those who think that they are intellectually superior to the working class, who they pretend to champion but openly despise. And morally superior to the merchant and professional class, who are usually their long suffering parents.

You are the reason why people vote for Pauline, Trump and Brexit.
