Western Australia is trying to recruit New Zealanders to meet the booming state's desperate need for more workers.
A team of recruiters is in the land of the long white cloud to tout WA's lifestyle and employment opportunities to New Zealanders.
WA Small Business Minister Margaret Quirk said WA was so desperate for workers "even All Black supporters" would be welcome.
"We are leading the nation with a diverse, internationally competitive economy, but this level of growth has also brought a comprehensive skills shortage," Ms Quirk said.
Representatives from a raft of industries will speak to New Zealanders at WA sponsored expos in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland over the next week.
It is the third stage of WA's 'Go West Now' campaign, which has also targeted workers in Victoria and NSW.
