Need for foreign mine labour a lie: Katter

http://au.news.yahoo.com/latest/a/-/lat ... ie-katter/

Greedy resource companies are lying about the need to import foreign workers into Australia, outspoken federal independent MP Bob Katter says.

The Queensland member for Kennedy also told Fairfax Radio in Perth on Friday that iron ore magnate Gina Rinehart wanted her employees "to work for nothing".

Claims of a skills shortage by the resources sector were "farcical", he said, and the world's richest woman was using it as an excuse to import cut-priced labour for her Roy Hill iron ore project in Western Australia's Pilbara.

"It is absolutely outrageous what Gina Rinehart is doing," Mr Katter said.

He said he'd recently spoken with three mining companies that had vowed to "smash unionism" in what he claimed was a bid to lower wages.

Katter's head is screwed on but his party rather dubious with no mention of asylum shoppers under "Issues"
