Hi All
Channel Ten news tonight, had the Queensland Government,
saying that the current skill shortage, requires
Grey Nomads to fill
in the gaps re Trades people, chippies / plumbers /sparkies ect,
to apply for jobs associated with the mining industry, probably
doing maintenance ect, I think they wanted Mechanical Trades as
well, even truck drivers ect, they were also talking about training
women. it would help some retirees get a few extra bucks, if they
passed the selection criteria.
Cheers
Daza

No good to you, mate. Even ASIO can't rustle up much in the way of skirt in the mines :)

What part of Here is here & where do I sign up? Only problem is SWMBO and the kids won't want to move. Spose I could leave them
home for a year or six.

Kev, that could all change with a huge influx of
grey nomads working at $1 an hour :))

Louie,
That is up around
Gladstone, they are about to do an expansion on the Aluminium smelter as
well as build 4 Liquid Natural Gas plants complete with pipe line from the gas fields.
Check with Rio Tinto etc
Footy,
If that happens maybe my rent will go down a fair bit and I can afford to buy a house, but I don't see that happening any time soon.
Cheers Kev

Yep...Bloody oath!!!
I reckon they should cut absolutely everyone off the dole, CDEP, Sit down money the whole bloody lot!!!
Those who are in a position that they legitamately need it need to reaply. Atleast they could cathch up on some of those pri(k$ who have been on it most of their lives.
Im not at that age yet, but if I was asked to come out of retirement so I could support the people who have decided not to work....Jeeze Id be Pi$$ed!!!!
Cheers
