Australian businesses are crying out for staff but instead of turning on the mass migration tap we should END the dole and get lazy Aussies off their backsides, writes MARK LATHAM

For nearly 30 years our governments have been spending billions of dollars supposedly to make young Australians 'job ready' through vocational training.

Now, in the post-Covid economic recovery, we are being told there are 50,000 fruit picking jobs, 30,000 hospitality vacancies and 15,000 trades and construction jobs in NSW that can only be filled by foreign workers.

Pacific Islanders have been brought in for the farm harvest - while the other positions will be filled by going back to big immigration numbers of 200,000 per annum.

Meanwhile, some parts of western Sydney and country NSW have youth unemployment rates of 30 and 40 percent.

How hard is it to ensure Australians get first crack at the jobs?

The immigration program should be designed, first and foremost, for the benefit of people who live here now, not new arrivals



Australia has a one-off opportunity to reduce unemployment to zero and slash the cost of the dole for taxpayers.

Yet the Federal and State Governments are blowing it through their obsession with 'Big Immigration' and going soft on welfare abuse.

There are so many job vacancies at the moment, anyone who says they can't find work is not really looking for it.

The only possible barrier for some is a vaccination requirement, but in many NSW workplaces this ended today (December 15) with the abolition of vaccine passports.

Bringing workers from overseas puts pressure on housing prices and adds to urban congestion.

It floods the labour market and holds down wages.

The logical alternative is to end the dole.

Anyone bludging on welfare must be made to take a job vacancy.

Scott Morrison should announce the abolition of the dole as of March 1 2022. 

We can't have permanent youth unemployment in Australia, a generation who think that work is optional and taxpayers will carry them forever.

Ending the dole would be a culture shock to these job snobs, a wake up call about the necessity of work.

It would end the labour shortages quick smart, save the government vast amounts of money and avoid an over-reliance on overseas workers.

We are not talking about high-skill jobs that need years of training

If young people in particular got off their backsides they would find work tomorrow on farms and in cafes, restaurants and pubs.

The fruit picking jobs should have gone to Indigenous unemployed in country areas, overcoming that chronic problem, instead of importing Pacific Islanders

The soft, lazy way of dealing with the labour shortages is to turn on the immigration tap.

The realistic way is to end the dole and end Australian unemployment.

What's wrong with these Liberals – Morrison, Treasurer Frydenberg and Premier Perrottet – that they only see the soft option as viable
Hospitality group Solotel - which owns 24 venues including Sydney's Aria restaurant, run by celebrity chef Matt Moran, said about 20 per cent of trade had been lost due to staff shortages.

Mr Moran told Daily Mail Australia the issue was the lack of workers.

'It's not just a matter of finding staff... it's just that there aren't any people to find.

'We are at the point now where we are offering incentives to existing staff members who bring in other people willing to work.

'But it's so bad. It is the worst conditions I have ever seen in my whole career. And until we get the visa holders back in the country it won't improve.'

Sydney's exclusive Rockpool Bar & Grill offered dishwashing staff as much as $90 an hour for weekend nights, but still struggled to get workers in the door.

The owner of Bondi's Pompei pizza restaurant George Pompei said last month his $2,000 signing bonus was being turned down by applicants preferring to stay on JobSeeker.

The Apollo in Potts Point is seeking a floor manager and offering a cash bonus to the successful applicant.

Meanwhile, hospitality companies The Dog's Group and Australian Venue Co. are offering up to $3,500 as sign-on bonuses.

Scott Morrison increased the dole by $50 to $620 a fortnight in April

Josh Frydenberg is  a Jew! The UN want coons to breed more so they sit about in their lazy communities like a mob of kids! We all know the coons are no good at work. Forcing them to work is "slavery" they know how to destroy stuff! I say drop them in Nth Korea with a parachute.

How you going to get job seekers to go to the country and get paid crap wages to pick fruit?

If they gave a good days pay for a good days work they'd get workers, but that whole fruit picking system is set up for cheap low-wage foreign labour. If you get paid more on the dole to play computer games, a unit to live in, and electricity and a game console is all you need to your lazy life. The dole will pay that.
