Apparently there's a lot of surfers in oz who choose to chill out instead of working and solving labour shortages.

This bit is really interesting:

The government is recruiting thousands more skilled workers from overseas to plug gaps in the labour market.

Without this army of foreign accountants, health professionals and hairdressers, there are fears that Australia's booming economy could begin to stumble after years of strong growth.


So why does Oz need hairdressers? Is it full of metrosexual blokes desperate to get rid of their mulletts?

I like the sounds of this. That means that when I get down there, there will be work for me in coastal areas.....

Oh, and you just know that hairdressers rule the economy
