He got a really concerned look on his face and said " no, I'm sure the government would step in to prevent that."
I'm concerned and laughing at the same time.

Due to Covid AU currently has a "job keeper" award that is paid to employers to keep their employees on the books.
From talking to a few people, when the "job keeper" award ends it will be much cheaper to out source alot of local workers
People seem to think that the services will be sub par, I cannot see that being a thing really
Currently we have alot of local sub par workers getting paid top dollar, all it would take is a smart company to cherry pick contacted employees from use usual suspect countries, savings would be substantial
People don't seem to understand the competitiveness for contracted employees from overseas and the cost savings to be had
