Update: 9:36PM THE Australian Government has widened the opportunities for Fiji workers to earn Australian wages on a seasonal basis.
Australian Minister for International Development and the Pacific Senator Concetta Fierravanti-Wells said they had uncapped the number of workers able to participate annually in the Seasonal Worker Program.
“We expanded it to the agriculture and accommodation industries,” Ms Fierravanti-Wells said.
“But Fiji�s potential goes much further.
“I would encourage Fiji to see Australia as a partner and a platform for linking into global value chains.”
