    the subcontractors are a large part of the “problem”.
    When growers paid seasonal workers directly — a liveable rate — nobody needed visa workers, and nobody had trouble selling their produce because of high prices.

    And when we had a functional employment service, growers didn’t even have to pay someone to find workers.

    The world has gone silly.

    Love this bloke in the article claiming he can’t afford a million dollars for equipment.
    Is it cos he doesn’t want to be in a co-op and share stuff, or doesn’t want to just hire equipment ?

    I don’t know what’s worse — ABC stories that make these people sound like victims, or that they sound like they might actually be clueless

    Wouldn’t it be nice if there was some public service department dedicated to giving them advice? Or would that be too much socialism?
