On this episode of MEA$URED Mick shines light on some of the talented migrants we have living in Australia who aren't given a chance by Australian companies due to a lack of local experience. Although we are facing one of the biggest resource shortages in many years, Candidates like Hani Mahmoud, a qualified civil engineer, who is professionally recognised by Engineers Australia, cannot get a foot through the door of any local companies. Hani is an Australian Permanent Resident, he has 15 years experience on major infrastructure, roads, highways and drainage projects. His kids go to Australian schools and he pays Australian taxes. Hani has applied to over 100 jobs. He has barely received feedback from a hiring manager or recruiter. No local experience = no good. Whilst many local companies struggle to find qualified people to join their business, Hani and thousands of other qualified Migrants are becoming disillusioned by the job market in Australia and will likely return to their home countries or retrain and enter a new market. They aren't here to apply for Job Seeker, they are here to work, improve their lives for their families and to add value to Australia. In in my opinion giving candidates like Hani a blanket rejection without even meeting them is not good enough; we must change our mindset or get ready for the unavoidable brain drain Australia is likely to experience in years to come. To connect with Hani, please reach out out to him via linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/hani-mahmoud-10/ To view some of the jobs Franklin Smith are recruiting for check out our website: https://franklinsmith.com.au/ To connect with Mick further, catch him on Linkedin; https://www.linkedin.com/in/mick-donaghy-b722287b/

Preston Nelson (Libertarian Party) is running for election to the U.S. House to represent Illinois' 8th Congressional District. He is on the ballot in the general election on November 3, 2020. Preston Nelson is a 30 year old Information Technology professional, amateur linguist, and inventor who hates what he sees happening in his government. Nelson was raised, first as a Christian, and second as a Republican. He has since forsaken the “republican” label, but he clings to his faith, and considers Christian morals as the foundation of his opposition to the Republicrat establishment. As a child, Nelson cheered when George Bush went after those bad guys in Iraq and Afghanistan, but as an adolescent, he saw through Bush’s war lies, considered politics hopeless, and stopped paying attention. As a young man, Nelson stumbled across the Libertarian Party (thanks to Ron Paul.) Learning that, compared to the D and R parties, Libertarians in Illinois required 10-times the number of people to sign their petition, just in order to have their names written on the ballot, and further learning that Republican lawyers filed suit against the Libertarian petitions every year in an attempt to nullify them, or at least waste the Libertarians’ time and money in court, Nelson was outraged, and immediately began working in Public Relations for the Libertarian Party of Illinois. Historically, Libertarian campaigns are a crap shoot, so in 2018, Nelson ran in the Republican Primary against incumbent U.S. Representative Mike Bost. Nelson focused his campaign on 3 issues: Foreign Policy Reform and Bringing Troops Home; Ending Corporate Factory-Farm Subsidies; Monetary Reform to Stop Endless Inflation and Currency Devaluation, and he won 17% of the Republican primary election vote, even while writing “Libertarian” on all of his campaign literature. This year, Nelson is running Libertarian, in a 2-way race with a incumbent Democrat. His issues remain the same: Ending decades-long wars which now only serve to hurt our global standing, while bankrupting the nation to enrich the Military Industrial Complex Letting people keep their own money, instead of taxing it to give to big agribusinesses which produce unhealthy food Boosting the American economy by balancing the budget, and protecting the Dollar from inflation and devaluation.

Candidate Spotlight with Christina Hagan, Candidate for the 13th Congressional District Continuing with our Candidate Spotlight, we interview Christina Hagan, former state representative and current candidate for the 13th Congressional District. Christina shares how the campaign has been going in the district, talks about her pro-life credentials and the needs of the 13th Congressional District which encompasses portions of Mahoning, Trumbull, Portage, Stark, and Summit Counties. Tune in and tell a friend.  Encore Presentation SOS Frank LaRose addresses voter registration numbers, heavy early voting turnout, and the ballot mishap at the Franklin County BOE. Here are some of the questions we asked SOS Frank LaRose: •How many registered voters are there currently in Ohio? •How many new voter registrations are there this year? •How many that were added in the last few months? •How is early voting going at the boards of elections in the 88 counties? •It is being reported that there is a heavy volume of early voting in rural and urban counties this year. This is unusual due to the fact that these voters pride themselves on voting on Election Day. It's almost as if it is panic voting is occurring at this point, possibly due to concerns of COVID-19, doubts about the US Mail's reliability to get ballots back in time, and fears that the election may be canceled or postponed. Can you speak to these concerns that people are expressing with just 18 days left before Election Day? Secretary Larose, you have said that in Ohio your office mailed out absentee ballot requests to every registered Ohio voter. You did not mail out actual ballots to the nearly 7 million registered voters. However, some have said that these 50,000 ballots in Franklin County now present an opportunity for fraud as each of the voters will now receive a second ballot in the mail. What do you say to those who are concerned about that?

There has been a major outcry against Netflix for airing the movie "Cuties" that puts underage girls in compromising positions. State Attorney General Dave Yost joined other State Attorney Generals in calling for Netflix to remove this vile promotion of pedophilia from their movie list. The following statement may be attributed to Attorney General Yost: “In this era where we are fighting a seemingly never-ending battle against human trafficking, this film is counterproductive – it whets the appetites of those who wish to harm our children in the most unimaginable ways,” Yost said. “I vehemently opposed the continued streaming of the movie and request that it is voluntarily removed.” Here is the AG'S joint letter to Netflix  

"I want people to understand that they have to rip the duct tape off their mouth and they have to speak the truth no matter how uncomfortable it is."
