There is an impending crisis in our agriculture and tourism industries with a lack of workers for the coming harvest and tourist season. 2021 ENROLMENTS The “work and wander out yonder” advertising campaign is a NOW OPEN second rate response to the lack of workers in agriculture and regional businesses It is just another Government advertising campaign, and it will be a wonder if it works out yonder much at all. With a projected need for 7,000 additional jobs in agriculture alone, the response to the ads to date has been laughable. Just over 400 people have lined up to fill the roles.
