Re: SO WE CANT FILL 1700 JOBS?
As someone who just had spinal surgery my neurosurgeon dr darwish is from JORDAN
(we spoke about petra while i was still awake,so want to go see it.amazing place)
i understand the skill set required & by his reports he did a great job & i agree with him
despite the horrible post op pain,my gp nino sa-cordeiro is from GOA whe has been here
over 45 years & is an unsung hero in his field of expertise,the medical folk have my utmost respect.
as for being a professional driver such as a triple road train driver just pointing out it takes alot longer than most think to require the skills to drive such trucks nothing overated when you consider what sort of coin is on offer.
to go from a car licence to a roadtrain/b double licence means going thru the licence classes C,LR,MR,HR,HC,MC...plus all the modern requirements such as a fatigue
management 14 hour logbook,C.O.R. chain of responsibility etc
different skills of course but a tafe course wont get you a job even shuffling papers,dont forget also transport & logistics is a well sought after career these days,not so much the
driving side which is why alot of the eastern guys have gone west.cheers...tb

Couldn't agree more TB that it would be preferable that Australians get first chance at any of these jobs BUT I can't seriously believe that a truck driver could even go close to comparing their skill set and responsibility with that of a doctor.
Until we see 5 year university courses and another couple of years of supervised on the job training before they allow a truck driver to operate by himself then some of us might disagree with your overrated perception of a roadtrain drivers skillset.
