## Resource

An Uber ride sparks a powerful reflection on Australia’s broken visa system — where engineering grads end up driving for cash, and costly, transactional immigration policies leave people feeling like temporary guests. The episode dives into the heated national debate: should we tighten borders or help temporary residents become citizens? With skyrocketing fees, shifting political priorities, and a legacy of conditional belonging, the conversation calls for honesty — because immigration has always been our greatest asset, not just a market commodity.
