Absconding is not an option, Kumar reminds selected Fijian workers
MORE than 200 selected Fijian workers were reminded that absconding is not an option under the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) Program.
Minister for Employment, Productivity and Industrial Relations, Youth and Sports, Parveen Kumar, during the farewell last week highlighted that the Fijian and Australian governments have worked tirelessly to make this opportunity a reality for all selected Fijians for improved
living standards.
“Make use of this opportunity and don’t get swayed by outside influence.”
“Abstain from doing things that can change Fiji’s impression negatively as this will affect other potential Fijians in future,” said Bala.
“Put your community, family and nation first in all things that you do.”
The Fijian Government has established and have grown into this labour mobility program to ensure sustainable and ongoing work for more Fijians.
“Use this employment opportunity as an incentive to work smart, save more and contribute to your Vuvale back in Fiji,” added Bala.
These selected workers are expected to leave our shores in batches from this week for employment opportunities in Australia in the aged-care, horticulture and meat industries.
