Australians themselves aren't exactly blameless. Either they think they're too good for some work or they're unemployable drug abusing gits. Of course, bringing in unemployables families of 6-10 isn't a solution either.
A National Service would be a guaranteed solution but the git parents of snowflakes don't want to change things for the better because risking the comfort of status quo for decency is too much for them !

individual,

Yes. 700,000 unemployed Australians. If there are jobs available, surely some of them could take them up: young single ones for starters. They should be advised that they will take up these regional jobs, or any jobs available, or they will find themselves without income because their dole money will be cut off. There is nothing onerous or unfair about that. Successive governments have not had the guts to do it. They are pathetic, preferring to bring in foreigners. This goes right back to John Howard's day.

No work, no money.

I expect to see a full blown recession come November due to the coronavirus pandemic so it will be interesting to see how much unemployment grows.

How about cancelling permanent residency visas on a last in / first out basis? Or how about doing what the US does to keep the unemployment figures low: incarcerate them?

All immigration, apart from the odd case of actual need (Australia's) should have ceased years ago.

ttbn,

<<Last year ended with 709,600 Australians unemployed, an increase of 34,400 from the beginning of the year. It beggars belief that a large number of these people, who should be looking for work, are not trainable and/or employable. They might not be needed or wanted in their inner city lairs, but the regions are crying out for them - or so we are told.

That's what jobs online indicates.

How many immigrants are prepared to take up these jobs in outback Qld? http://au.jora.com/Outback-jobs-in-Queensland.

I realise some of them are in the medical profession that require special training.
