Your point about these people being willing to work jobs we won't is true though but that's more a reflection of our population being a bit entitled when it comes to this. The possible wage disparity really isn't surprising to me though - our government condemns many things of other countries but quietly do some of it ourselves.

There is a high wage stream of the TFW program and the low wage stream. Not sure of the cut offs but my comments of wages we won’t do them for are specifically to the low wage portion of the program. While you are required to offer the same wage that non TFWs are making the fact that you can’t fill the position isn’t because there isn’t enough workers it because you aren’t paying enough to fill the role. Yes that may drive inflation and yes some services may not be possible to fill at the wages required to attract a person and remain profitable. I dont have much sympathy for this as either you should be allowing permanent immigration or allow the wage market to adjust to whatever is required for these roles to be filled.
