Who are Refugees ?
Refugees and Centrelink beneficiaries could be forced to resolve Australia's supply chain crisis under a new plan from a major major Australian investor.
David Williams, a financial power broker who helped bring Vegemite back into Australian ownership, says the Australian government should turn to welfare recipients and even asylum seekers to help with labor shortages in all the country.
Williams said people held in detention centers, including those living in a $109-a-night hotel in Melbourne where Novak Djokovic was detained, could be given "a life" through a system that would revive the market.
"Many farmers are in desperate need of labor to get produce (off the farm) and all options must be urgently considered ," he said.
The Independent Food Dealers Association, which represents hundreds of suppliers across Australia, says staff shortages were having a devastating impact on businesses and rural communities were particularly vulnerable.
"We have to keep in mind that remote and indigenous communities are out there and we need to make sure we continue to get food to them," said CEO Richard Forbes.
"It's the big unknown right now... we have to be as as prepared as possible."
The chairman of the Australian Food and Grocery Council, who is also the Asia Pacific chairman of Cadbury-based manufacturer Mondelez, says he would support releasing refugees to work on farms.
