- Abstract
- New Zealand farmers are warning the Australian Government and growers to take it slowly, as they embark on the new Pacific Islander workers program. New Zealand has been running a similar program for the last four years. There are currently 120 farmers involved in that country, but there have been a number of social and cultural problems.
