457 visa, Americans? what are you whimpering about bloke?
We imported such workers for such jobs under Howard too.
Throwing rocks at Labor for this? childish.
As an over 50 do you have any skills for this work? wish to live out there? work hard for long hours.
Whimpering is a good description.

Maybe if some previous half-witted PM didn't have the great idea that he would save money by slashing work related training programmes in favor of expected booms in the hairdressing and hospitality industries we wouldn't be in the current situation of a skills shortage in other industries.

Never mind. Tony once said that he was considering conscripting under-30-year-olds to travel west to work in the mines in lieu of the dole.
A pity that they are untrained and the Mining Industry will not pay for their training.
