I was bored in the late 90s and went to a farm to make some holiday money, met several Japanese, they like the chill atmosphere here, the pay is better than at home because it was still trying to come out of the economic gloom. Years later my cousin went there to do the same thing during winter because she loves snow, and became a skiing instructor,

My daughter's Japanese friend from high school is taking a year off from uni and coming to Australia in December. Hopefully she can get a decent job and have a good time. She'll need to house-share to cut the accommodation expenses. Also keep in mind that backpackers pay a higher rate of tax because they do not get the benefit of a tax-free threshold.

We welcome them, hard working respectful race of intelligent young people who are not afraid to get in, work hard and do a thorough job. They set a good example to some of our Australian young folks who'd rather take our government's handout "stay at home money" than do one of the many jobs available. We're Aussie born and bred, are now old and visit Japan annually, personally I'd like to live there, but they've already got too many old people. My Dad fought against them in WW2 but he greatly respected their dedication to the task, he used to tell me, "they were doing their duty as ordered to, just like we Aussies were doing ours, they were fierce warriors", it's all in the past, history.

A Japanese person's desire to improve English or live in a country for another year doesn't trump the need for Australians to have a healthy housing market and growing wages. I'm sure they're lovely but we need to block 99% of the migration we currently have until we restore how good Australia is. Australia funnily enough is for Australian's at the end of the day.
@deadspeedv

The Japanese have always been good workers and respect the hierarchy/elders. I am all for them to compliment our workforce so long as it done sustainably so it doesn't put too much strain on our housing. We had that issue recently with record immigration (mostly post-covid students studying abroad), which resulted in high property demand, thus higher rent/property value. Ultimately this lead to extending our high inflationary environment (we are still at >4% atm) despite the interest rate increases from 0.1% to 4.35%. I think the Australian government has since capped immigration since our housing couldn't keep up with demand. Which is funny because you mentioned a lot of Japanese come to work in the construction industry, thus by limiting immigration, also slows housing construction by labour shortage.

Kitchen hand will earn 22/h unskilled labourer 28/h typically 25/35 would be a great pay. Food and rent are a lot more expensive, can't imagine they're doing it for the money although it's probably a bit better, it's probably more the experience. I know a fair few Aussies having a tough time to find farm labouring work, city construction is there but many don't want to deal with cities angmore due to commutes and rent. Older people seem to be constantly under the impression farmers are struggling to find work, which is strange since you can go to the official seasonal worker websites and look at how few jobs are listed.

I have to agree. I was looking for work in regional areas about ten years ago but had no luck. I was desperate as I was unemployed, my luck changed when I found a permanent warehouse job in Sydney. I was informed by a reliable source that some farmers won't employ fellow Australians. The farmers fear being exposed for exploitation. Unfortunately some foreign workers are taken advantage of and work long hours for low pay.
@Jimsimi
Ай бұрын
@lifeinruraljapan Yeah, that is very common when I talk with older people. They claim there are issues with farms finding workers, and the pay is out of this world.. but I know four other people, all Australian or Kiwi, fit and hard-working, who have been applying for any and all jobs on the East Coast for the last few months, and have not had even an interview. Clearly, the farms have a lot of workers to pick from if they're not even following up for interviews. The pay was usually the minimum rate for farm labour which has changed to $24/h this month, before it was common to see $21-22/h being advertised, that's usually a minimum though as it is often piece rate which meant you could earn more if the rates are good and you put the work in. I'm not sure what the gain is for the people who own the media running these stories to older generations who read them, honestly. If it is an issue on some farms, it can't be widespread. Maybe the odd farm ten hours drive inland and with nothing around has issues coaxing people out, but anything within five hours of the coast, I'm sure, is getting enough offers to completely ignore people. We have all had to go back to the city to get work in construction, telemarketing, or food service, but would all much rather be in the country living on farms in our vehicles so we can save money so we keep applying. It's been very surprising for us as we had all grown up hearing the same thing. There's always work on the farms, but it's proving difficult. When you go out to the farms, you'll see it's filled with young immigrant workers, I assume the farms have contracts with the visa businesses who bring them in so they always have a supply of workers to fill roles. Even in the cities, other than construction labourers, if you're looking for work, your best chance is knowing someone and getting your resume put on the top of the pile because lots of applicants for every job it seems.

The trouble is they can stay in Australia for three years max and work unskilled jobs and then they will have to return home with a three year gap in any skilled employment. That will cripple them when they return to Japan. Plus cost of living vs wages in Australia isn’t great. You’ll just come and work your guts out save a bit of cash and then return home with nothing useful. Plus Australians are unfriendly as hell towards anyone who doesn’t speak English well plus foreign working holiday makers who come and hope to get any kind of permanent residency after their working holiday won’t get it. I see it daily in my job. Foreign students who hoped to stay here after their working holiday getting refused

I just found this. Australia limits the period of stay to one year in principle, but allows participants to do any type of work. If they engage in specific jobs, such as agriculture, for certain periods of time, they can extend their stay to up to three years. The program helps Australia make up for a shortage of labor.
