    This can't be true

    This can't be for real. I mean WA has to try to keep it's standards up. We really must draw a line in the sand. Surely thing aren't that bad that we are going to let in All Black supporters




    Kiwis wanted in WA - 'even All Black supporters'

    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.

    Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    Wonderful people the Kiwis, and all more than welcome at Palmyra Rugby club.

    I just cant understand the antipathy shown to them at Perth, Nedlands, Wanneroo, Associates, Kalamunda and all the other clubs in our local competition.

    Most unfair.

    I hope they are letting these eastern staters know that sure, there is plenty of work available over here, just no accomadation in most cases, especially for unskilled workers....And the accomadation available is occasionaly pretty spartan...But once you are in and get established it can be a good wicket...

    I wouldn't have thought there was any need to tout WA's lifestyle to the Kiwis as most of them are already over here!

    The "spartan" digs sounds like personal experience FR.

    Kiwis in the Pilbara is absolutely nothing new FR. When I arrived there in 1978 it was spot the Sandgroper. They were rare as rockinghorse shit.
