Photo / Mark MitchellPrime Minister Jacinda Ardern is scoffing at plans by the Aussie Government to woo Kiwi workers to Australia with the promise of a $2000 cash-in-hand deal. "My plea to Kiwis is: There are great jobs out there – there are great opportunities and we will keep working on ways to support you into those roles." "We are working very hard with our horticulture industry, particularly to find the New Zealanders to go into those jobs." I have real difficulty accepting I'm on the point of getting out of the industry because the Government doesn't care."
