Because as per usual, you were talking BS, to slag off at me, if you don't like being slagged off at, don't do it to others.

But hey I know SFA remember,

As I said in my original post:

Well Australia imports slave labour from the South Pacific to pick fruit and meanwhile the Government borrows money to pay Australians that don't want to pick the fruit, somehow you think that's sustainable? 

Which is a true statement.

To which you said::

 Go outback all the workers are Euros chasing visas perhaps you could replace them…….

From memory, the Euro workers who are picking fruit are usually trying to extend their visas, they usually work in hospitality when they first arrive, but if they want to extend their stay they have to go bush, commence studying, or leave.

here you go:

Yes, a European backpacker on a Working Holiday Visa (subclass 417 or 462) can extend their visa by completing specified work in regional areas, including farming, for a minimum of 88 days (for a second visa) or 6 months (for a third visa).

I've actually worked in the outback even at the Wiluna orange orchard and there aren't many Euro backpackers, compared to the number of Islanders, the backpackers are working behind the bars in the pubs.

Even in Wiluna.
