By far the major visible reason for the “labour shortage” in Australia is the restrictions on tourists entering the country to take on unpaid or low paid jobs such as fruit picking.
- patja 5y agoI'm surprised by the tourism angle. Can you say more about that? Are these tourists who fell on hard times and had to work to raise some money? Or is it workers who exploit tourist visas just to get entry and take these jobs... In which case, why call them tourists?
- Schiendelman 5y agoWhen you say “exploit”, keep in mind there are two parties in a work/employer relationship. Both are exploiting, and often the regulator is perfectly okay with that.
