Fake Left shocked by white faces, fine with no jobs

If you need a demonstration of the insufferable Left in action today, try this:

Labor Leader Bill Shorten is on the back foot over a television ad spruiking the employment of Australians First which overwhelmingly featured white people, conceding on twitter that the “lack of diversity” was a “fair cop” and wouldn’t happen again.

His move came as his fellow frontbencher Anthony Albanese reportedly criticised the ad, which has been roundly attacked as racist on social media, as a “shocker” which should never have been approved.

“Clearly it was dropped to Channel Nine to be shown last night .. I’m a member of the ALP national executive, I can assure you I hadn’t seen it,” he told reporters in Canberra on Monday.

“I think the ad’s a shocker and it should never have been produced and it should never have been shown,” he added.

“It’s not the sort of ad I want my party to be promoting.”

Here’s the ad courtesy of Fake Green, Fake Lefty, Sarah Hanson-Young:

Roughly 8% of Australians are ethnic Asian so one face in twelve people is perfectly representative of the population split.

What is “awful” is youth unemployment:

As revealed last month, youth under-employment hit an all-time high 18.0% in the February quarter, versus 8.6% for the labour market as a whole:

Whereas youth under-utilisation (combining both unemployment and under-employment) also hit an all-time high 31.5% in the February quarter:

Thanks in part to high immigration taking entry level jobs.

Ms Sarah Hanson-Young should go back to wherever she came from.
