Employment Minister Stuart Robert says bringing visa-holders into the country benefits both the education industry and the workforce. “15 per cent of our entire hospitality workforce pre-COVID, going back a long time has been visa-holders - Australians aren't well-known for doing a lot of hospitality work, or fruit-picking for that matter,” Mr Robert told Sky News Australia. “That's why we have student visas for working 20 hours, it's why we have backpacker visas, it's why we have seasonal worker visas," he said. "So it does two things in terms of the industry of education and picking up lot of those unskilled workers."
