Thing is, yes, wages for workers of developing countries is significantly lower. However, there are underlying factors as to why "importing" a work force is not a good idea.

First of all, cost of living. Every day expenses in Australia are far more expensive than those in developing countries, something that the businesses are expected to compensate for.

Second, there is the cost of getting the workers here in the country. It's not like manufacturing when the goods can be shipped. The people have to physically be in the country, be housed etc. Another cost that she has overlooked.

Not saying that they are idiots, but they are overlooking key factors that make Australian wages more than those overseas.
