Securing Home Affairs
Home Affairs appears similar to Homeland Security in the US. Refer https://www.dhs.gov/about-dhs
I found this interesting yet ironically getting a job is not that easy. I note there was media coverage of the Business Council wanting to expand Professional Migration. Yet we have 3,000,000 people in poverty and 116,000 homeless. We bring more people in. We have infrastructure issues as cities get bigger. Interesting times we are in.
Why not bring in refugees, train them and that should sort out so called shortages.
In my worldview there is nothing to fear. The world are my people and I see no threats on opportunities. We are all same same but different. Yes there are negative people but they are everywhere in all societies, create a Culture of Peace and watch our world change. No more threats, no more terrorism as we reach across cultural divides and recognise what we do for others returns.
