ABC Rural: Kim HonanA meat processor says a"housing crisis" in one of the country's most productive agricultural regions is making it difficult to recruit long-term employees at abattoirs.An SA State Parliamentary committee hearing has been examining the economic contribution of migration to South Australia
Representatives from JBS and Teys, the two largest meat processing companies in Australia, spoke at a State Parliamentary committee hearing on Tuesday, looking at the economic contribution of migration to South Australia. "There's really no rental properties available [in Bordertown], there's over 20 applications on a waiting list and that's just with one real estate," Mr Schiller said.
"If we wanted to introduce a permanent double shift in Bordertown, it would be impossible, currently … that would require an additional 150 people and the infrastructure would not support that. But they said facilities and suitable accommodation need to improve to attract workers, both migrants and Australians, to work in the regions.
Well they shut down the meat work at Port Pirie. Plenty of empty real estate and affordable housing around the Mid North and Spencer Gulf and unemployment. Lots of laid off meat workers near Pt Wakefield too.
Sorry - no sympathy. However, if a plant-based industry such as BeyondMeat wanted to team up with a social housing organisation there, maybe they could do good for both humans and animals.

Live export industry says it's being 'regulated out of existence' as new rules releasedSome argue the long-awaited shakeup of live export rules released this week does not go far enough, while others warn they go too far and threaten the industry's future. Good! Change your business model then! And we even should go further! Good - more regulation only required because you pushed the boundaries big time. So, the industry is threatened because it is not able to provide for the humane treatment of the animals it exports. Do you think any manufacturer would or should survive if it made a product that had a real chance of killing you if you used it?
