Isn't this good? I thought outsourcing meant we get cheaper goods like iPhones and laptops. Now we can outsource middle-class service jobs for cheaper services?
Looks like Artificial Intelligence and Actually Indians are in a race to take jobs. Either way, be prepared.
ACS has a nice government-granted monopoly on assessing the qualifications of work visa applicants (at significant cost) so anyone reducing the demand for IT worker visas (by off-shoring those jobs) is going to hurt ACS directly.

Its not simply outsourcing. Its using offshoring to hypocritically, dishonestly and deliberately trash native jobs and salaries, while (normally) maintaining those of the decision-makers. I'm not against realistic economics and open markets leading to a more balanced world, but this is just shark-toothed capitalism with contempt for individuals and the societies the organisations exist in.
This reporting is somewhat dishonest it fails to disclose ACS's vested interests...

that is also approximately all ACS does as far as I remember, they seem to never lobby for anything useful or go against the government for the exact same reason.

Not sure if sarcasm but let's just obliterate the west's middle class. I'm sure all will be fine.
We just did that and blamed it on AI. Amazing how you can AI to increase stock price and bury things at the same time! (And yes we are pissed about it)
Look out for the new round of layoffs that get blamed on "AI" next year?

That is the nativist view, yes. But I am not a nativist. Let every member of our species compete on a fair playing field without government interference, regardless of their birth circumstances.

Yes, the australians seem to be a bit behind the times. Look out for the new round of layoffs that get blamed on "AI" next year?
