Australia's PM announces $630 rebate for Visa holders overseas and WHAT A WIN FOR A WEDNESDAY

OnYa Mate.

In what's been a FKN long time between brewskies with my besties, and to help prop up a few industries currently facing MAJOR worker shortages, the federal government announced today that they will provide a fee rebate to any students or backpackers who come back to Australia in the next few months.

Honestly, this is a BIG YES for many reasons, mainly being:

  1. Approx. 175,000 students and backpackers with Australian Visas can get their butts over here, ASAP
  2. There will be fresh Tinder hotties for my single friends to meet (finally)
  3. These visa-holders will fill workforce shortages in agriculture and hospitality industries which have been, well, cooked.
  4. The fee, which is around $600, will be rebated for international students who arrive anytime in the next eight weeks and for backpackers on working holiday-maker visas who arrive within the next 12 weeks...meaning THIS IS HAPPENING ASAP

"My message to them is — come on down," ScoMo said.

"Come on down now because you wanted to come to Australia, you got your visa, we want you to come to Australia and enjoy a holiday here in Australia.

With staffing issues within many workforces being the current, COVID-related flavour of the month, Aussies have been struggling dealing with the impact forced isolations have had on critical supply chains.

BUT, with today's somewhat-good news...there's at least $600 worth of celebratory drinks to be had...and I don't even have a visa-rebate tab hehe
