Ben Fordham is calling on Aussies to return to work amid job shortages across the country.

The Prime Minister has announced incentives to bring in 175,000 foreign workers to fill vacancies.

“200,000 Australians are still on unemployment payments,” Ben said.

Ben has acknowledged that some people are struggling to find work while others don’t necessarily want to find any.

“Some people are happy to sit on their backside and let everyone else do the heavy lifting.

“We’ve made it too easy for people to sit at home.”
