For years, @D_LittleproudMP has peddled the myth that Australians are simply too lazy to work on local farms.
But the numbers prove that's completely false. 7000 Australians took part in the AgMove program, which saw small grants paid to workers to cover their living costs.
More than 7,000 have moved to the regions to fill ag workforce shortages through the govt’s AgMove initiative
2,600 from Qld
1,800 NSW
1,300 Victoria
The most popular destination to take up work was Qld with >3,000 people
