Australia gets new centre-left government, after 100 days the only thing they do is increase immigration.
Do any new immigrants actually pick fruit?

Dude immigrants go on to clean toilets. Yes ofc they pick fruit.
James Johnson
I dunno about Aus but our fruit pickers are seasonal workers. They come for the season, then go back home. The reason nobody else wants to pick fruit is they pay slave wages to do it.
Jason Mitchell
Need to encourage backpacking though. There's this whole setup where backpackers start in NT and go clockwise to follow the harvest seasons of different fruit
Ian Walker
There's a decent minimum wage for fruit picking here
Michael Stewart
Not here. Here they just collect welfare.
Chase Garcia
yes seasonal workers, so why are they lifting the permanent immigration?
Daniel Russell
They won't even hire locals here, used to be teenagers from local towns and villages but now they bus in economic immigrants and make them rent caravans and buy from a single shop that the farmer owns so they get half their wages back
Samuel Cook
Sounds like your new government is part of the same secret team as Canada's Trudeau and the Netherlands.
Hunter Jones
The old illegals used to work. The new illegals are basically bums who beg for government money. It's happening everywhere right now.
Kevin Ramirez
Pretty sure that's illegal here. Some Union issue with corporations effectively enslaving a workforce

>There's a decent minimum wage for fruit picking here
We literally pay third world shitters less than minimum wage and then charge them to live in a shed and eat gruel for the duration then ship them back.
We have a visa especially for it.
It's extremely based.

lol fuck you're ignorant.
>The PALM scheme allows eligible Australian businesses to hire workers from nine Pacific islands and Timor-Leste when there are not enough local workers available.
>Most PALM workers work in excess of 30 hours a week, and can earn over $800. But their take-home is less than $100 a week after dubious deductions for accommodation and transport,

Stop copying Canada's failures. We already did that. Temporary Foreign Workers were brought into do the highly skilled jobs of donut shop cashier, and forced to live and pay for something like 8+ to a basement owned by the donut shop franchisee.

No can do, struggling millionaire farmer, need slave labour to be profitable, can't afford to pay people more than $3/hour, plz understand.
Isaac Robinson
we produce more fruit than we need anyway
Grayson Ramirez
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH MAKE IT STOP BRISBANE ISN'T EVEN WHITE ANYMORE AND RURAL QLD IS FULL OF NIGGERS AAAAA
Came from NSW because it was a absolute shithole.
Only west bris is mostly white but not for long east south and north going the same way
Lincoln Turner
Yes they do unfortunately except mangoes always have local crews because they are big dollars for minimum effort.
Dole bludgers can get 5000 bucks from the government and their sole if they want to relocate for the harvests.
I'm a white Aussie who picks fruit for 8months then has well enough saved to have 4 months off , it's good work but few Anglos want to do it , people fuck themselves by going hourly rate rather than piece which makes it no more lucrative that working at a shop or a servo , piece rate is good money $2.50 per bucket of tomatoes and on a good patch (farmers always preference Aussie too btw) 200+ buckets is easily achieved .

read the article, they are increasing permanent immigration - not seasonal temp workers.
