The federal government will allow more than 200,000 visa holders into Australia as the nation moves into its final phase of reopening. 

The move will give a much-needed boost to the labour market, which Neil Breen says isn’t coping.

“I have 17- and 14-year-old daughters and I can tell you, wherever we go, they get offered a job,” he said.

“If we go eat at a restaurant, they get offered a job. If we go to shops, they get offered a job.

“Restaurants left, right and centre are shutting down for several services.”

But Neil’s concerned Queensland will be left behind as it “slugs every bugger” who wants to enter from a hotspot with the cost of mandatory COVID-19 testing.

“This is an example of the federal government and Australia … moving forward at a much faster rate than Queensland.”
