Mineweb has announced that the Australian federal government will be adjusting its immigration laws to help various industries, including mining, in Western Australia have access to more semi-skilled workers to fill their skills gap.
Immigration Minister Chris Bowen said he would widen a regional migration scheme designed to make recruitment of semi-skilled foreign workers faster and less restrictive to include the West Australian capital Perth. "The simple fact is that there will not be enough Australian workers to get the job done," Bowen said.
