GUEST LABOUR WOULD SOLVE HUMANITARIAN PROBLEM

Jobs (instead of foreign aid to corrupt regimes) for our Asian neighbours, in work that Australians don't want, and the Asia-Pacific desperately needs. 
AUSTRALIA'S richest woman, Gina Rinehart, has called for a radical overhaul of immigration laws to allow thousands of unskilled "guest workers" to be imported from Asia to help build mines in the country's north.

"Just think where Australia could be if we welcomed guest labour, even if limited to remote or hot areas, or to unskilled and semi-skilled positions.
"We should, on humanitarian grounds, give more of these people the opportunity of guest labour work in Australia, so that they can feed and clothe their families and pay for medical and other pressing needs."

Could this be the humanitarian solution that the most vocal of the left has been looking for?
