It would appear we are in a workforce crisis. I think people are upset because the same is not being afforded to all other essential services.....yet, especially jobs that can't be done from home. Not just the "free" part, but more importantly, the availability.
There was a segment highlighting whats happening out in the farms. One farmer from the Mornington reportedly had to plough 30% of his produce back into the ground because he didn't have the staff to harvest them. Another said his pigs needed to be processed asap, they are growing 1kg a day, and if they are not processed soon he may not be able to sell them. Staff from all different industries can't get assurance that it is safe for them to go back to work. A lot would have their sick leave and probably annual leave being eaten into. It is pretty devastating at a time when we should be in recovery mode.

The annoying thing for me is that we knew this was coming. We were not the first to come out of lock downs. We saw this happening in Europe. |
Im more annoyed about mandating RAT's for flying when they are stuff all around.
Also heard on the radio they are looking at making it so truckies can continue on even with a positive due to logistic issues at the moment.
You know its not going well when your local coles is limiting you on your sausage count!
