With the quarantine-free travel bubble open, recruiters across the ditch are now stepping up their advertising campaigns - offering free airfares and good wages. A farm in Western Australia has put the call out for an air-seeder tractor operator - offering free airfares, accommodation, food and $32.50 an hour. Meanwhile, recruitment company Agri-Labour Australia has a variety of short- and long-term jobs available, pointing out wages are more generous in Australia. Company managing director Casey Brown said they had been advertising to New Zealanders for a while, but people had been hesitant about travelling over without the bubble in place.
