Do you think we will need Chinese workers?
dear me. 
i look forward to the defence . more national seats to PUP by the look of it.
My son in law as you know works in the mines in wa and it's already full of workers on 457 visas yet i hear Australians cannot get jobs in the mines grrrrrrrr
It's clear the chinese want to invest here but not pay proper wages another grrr
I wonder what basis will be considered unable to find Australian workers? Ones that don't want to work for $2 an hour most likely!
Hopefully they will send down some 457 journalists as well, I've had enough of this left-wing groupthink from the likes of the SMH apparatchiks, just who do they think they are raining on Tone's parade.
If Gina wants cheap workers, well by golly she'll get them when a few 457 workers slip away from the Chinese-funded projects over to Hancock projects. She might even set up some JV's with China to circumvent this .... oh hang on ...
Apparently there's an Aussie cook that works on an offshore rig that earns $350K pa - or so I read - no doubt this and other little examples will be trotted out to justify the 457 invasion ...

But it says "should the skills and labour not be available domestically."
I wonder what skills we might have a shortage of? A nurse trained in China would not be able to work here as it would not satisfy our requirements, anybody know what they might be better trained at in regards to these Chinese projects?
