Seasonal workers finally allowed permit for NSW
VISA-holding seasonal workers living in Victoria border zones can now apply for a permit to work on farms in New South Wales.
Since 2018, we’ve fought hard for many millions in funding in the best interests of the region.
From Birchip to Robinvale, Werrimull to Wycheproof, we’ve fought hard – and will keep fighting – for each and every member of the electorate.
The game has changed, but the battle isn’t over.
There’s still plenty to be achieved to secure a better quality of life for the entire electorate for many years to come.

VISA-holding seasonal workers living in Victoria border zones can now apply for a permit to work on farms in New South Wales.

MEMBER for Mildura Ali Cupper has called for the appointment of a Federal Minister for Temporary Borders and has not ruled out a High Court challenge about the validity of NSW and SA’s hard border closures.

THE fight for sensible protection measures for people in border communities continues with three MPs on both sides of the Murray River co-signing a letter to Prime Minister Scott Morrison asking for Federal Government intervention.

MEMBER For Mildura Ali Cupper is hopeful ongoing lobbying will see the NSW Government back down on its ban on vias holders being allowed a permit to cross the border from Victoria for seasonal work.

A POTENTIAL economic crisis has been averted with the NSW Government backflipping on its ban on seasonal workers in the state.

A NUMBER of exciting projects in the Mildura electorate will benefit from the Victorian Government’s infrastructure stimulus spending, however the overall investment falls short of what our region deserves.
