The Australian government spends money to “invite” foreigners.

According to 7 News, Sydney Airport welcomed a special group of passengers today.

They are not Australian citizens with permanent resident status, but have received the green light to successfully enter Australia.

The reason behind this is the labor shortage in Australia.

Since the outbreak of the unprecedented crisis in the Australian manufacturing industry, a large number of visa holders have left Australia.

The Australian vegetable industry will face a forecast of 2.9 million temporary jobs, including the fruit picking industry.

The travel ban has led to a decline in backpackers and other working holidaymakers, which has hit the industry hard.

In order to alleviate the serious shortage of labor, the NSW government has turned its attention to overseas migrant workers.

NSW Agriculture Minister Adam Marshall said that 160 workers from Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu are urgently needed to pick tomato crops worth 50 million Australian dollars.

In addition, the slaughterhouse in NSW has also encountered a labor shortage.

For this reason, the NSW government approved an additional 350 skilled workers last month to fill the shortage of labor.

Marshall said that the first batch of overseas workers will arrive this Wednesday.

It is reported that charter flights and isolation arrangements are funded by the industry.

Marshall said the NSW government is doing everything it can to facilitate the arrival of overseas workers in order to minimize the shortage of labor caused by the travel ban, thereby causing supply disruption.
