Thousands of Peruvians walk 870k to protest mine

NT Minister for business and employment Delia Lawrie said in a statement the NT was set to experience huge growth and demand for workers was outstripping local supply. "While we are investing heavily in local training, it is still not enough to meet demand in a competitive Australian labour market," she said. “This RMA will act as a pressure valve for the local economy, helping businesses experiencing a shortage of staff to find workers when none can be sourced locally.”
