Australia urgents needs farm workers

(ABC Rural: Lydia Burton). Mr Kirby said there had been no recorded cases of coronavirus from Vanuatu. The ABC understands the Government is on the cusp of announcing a pilot program that would allow up to 200 workers to travel from Vanuatu to harvest mangoes in the Northern Territory, possibly within weeks. Farmers across the country have become increasingly concerned that their crops could be left to rot, and sheep left unshorn, without access to the foreign workers that typically work on Australian farms.
