Grown-ups:
Scott Morrison has dramatically reversed his opposition to a new agricultural visa, throwing a lifeline to his besieged Deputy Prime Minister, Michael McCormack, who is facing an internal push for a Barnaby Joyce comeback.
The Prime Minister told the National Farmers Federation Congress today that his government “will work towards establishing an agriculture visa”.
The move came less than a week after announcing a plan to provide more agricultural workers by forcing unemployed people to fill labour shortages, infuriating farmers.
It really isn’t right that only city employers get to destroy wages.
