Pacific Island guest worker scheme: 7:30 Report video

14/08/2008
Plans for a controversial Pacific Island guest worker scheme to address crippling labour shortages in Australia's horticultural sector, are about to be unveiled by the Government. The move has already sparked a backlash from some trade unions and the Federal Opposition, who say the jobs should be going to Australia's unemployed.
The video says that labour shortages are stunting growth and expansion. So is it a labour shortage, or a farmer greed problem?
