Aussie hotel association makes pro-migration move with new advertisement

Key points

• The Australian Hotels Association has released an advertisement warning of the effects of proposed migration cuts. The ad shows cafes and pubs losing staff, an aged care worker saying goodbye to a resident, and fruit rotting on the trees.
• AHA chief executive Stephen Ferguson said the major parties are not discussing how many sectors rely on overseas workers, including hospitals, aged care and farming. Labor, the Coalition and One Nation have all proposed reducing migration levels, with One Nation seeking cuts of 750,000 people over three years.
• Ferguson said seasonal industries in northern Queensland are calling for workers.
