FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A Labor senator has upped the pressure on the federal government over foreign workers to demand big mining projects buy Australian goods and services.
A government deal to allow billionaire miner Gina Rinehart to use 1700 workers from overseas on the her Roy Hill iron-ore project in Western Australia’s Pilbara region has angered trade unions and some Labor MPs.
The issue will be hotly debated during a caucus meeting on Tuesday morning.
WA senator Glenn Sterle wants the government to put pressure on the big miners to buy local.
“To actually have the guts to put out and demand that these massive projects employ Australian businesses,” he told ABC Radio on Tuesday.
Nationals senator John Williams is bucking coalition policy calling for a delay in implementing the enterprise migration agreement.
“There’s 2350 workers busting to get a job,” he said, referring to stand downs in the troubled engineering Hastie Group.
If they got training in a specific field and won a well-paid mining job many would simply jump at that opportunity, Senator Williams said.
“That’s why I think we should hold off on this, and put the Australian workers first.”
