Just saw an icky ad for tomorrow's Today Tonight story on Australian call centre jobs being "Diverted to Delhi", with Naomi delivering the extra nugget about "how these call centres are driving Aussies crazy". Key emphasis being that it's these specific call centres that are the ones driving us crazy. Damn foreigners, stealing jobs from the Aussies who used to drive Aussies crazy. And then using these stolen jobs to invade our homes! Aaaggh! Our very way of life is under attack! It's a Today Tonight dream story; sticking up for Aussie Battlers who are losing their jobs, while also being able to keep them out of the frame for community anger at being interrupted during dinnertime to take nuisance calls, yet still being onside with said community anger. Can blame foreigners and stick up for working people, even though we hated them last week for doing the jobs they just lost. Score!
