Reference :- Backpackers from around the world will help us rebuild after the fires , said Mr Morrison .

Reference :-   Holidaying foreign students will be encouraged to work here and help us restore the nation's infrastructure after the devastating fires.

Good idea Mr Morrison , sir . That sure gives us confidence that the country is capably managed .   All the great countries in the OECD  probably have to rope in hordes of poorly paid foreign teenagers to rebuild their nation from time to time when they stuff up and everything burns down  .   So there is no shame in that .

 Though you will have a task ahead of you  trying to persuade holidaying students that hauling rusty sheets of corrugated iron out of piles of stinking ash is more fun than partying on a beach in Thailand .  But dodgy sales pitches are your forte and I reckon you are up to it .

 My son , Ken junior , pricked his ears when he heard that lots of foreign backpackers may be heading out to Kooralya  to help out .  He thinks it is a fantastic idea , and can't wait to see them turning up .  He has a few suggestions that you might like to take on board .

 Obviously we can't accept anyone from China , with all that  coronavirus fiasco, so Ken junior suggests we concentrate on encouraging students from those liberal Scandinavian countries . He says he is always impressed by the healthy physiques of those blonde backpackers from Nordic climes .
 He says you can encourage them by offering a complimentary tetanus booster shot and a bag containing 50 plus sunscreen and a snake bite kit once they have got past the machine guns of border force command control , which I believe is what they call passport and customs check these days .

 There may be some issues with medical  insurance should a backpacker be crushed beneath a collapsing roof or the suchlike .   Ken junior says you could promise them compensation via the National Disability Insurance Scheme . This will put minds at ease , and save you having to fork out any assistance until they come off the waiting list .  By then they will be back home with their own free health care , and probably on an old age pension as well.

Lastly ,the locals have decided to rename the pub  the  " Kooralya  Vertshus "  , which scandinavians would recognise as meaning  "ale house"  .  This is sure to make them feel more at home each evening when they are washing the ash from their mouths with an ice cold schooner of our locally brewed duty free lager .    

  Your comrade , Ken
