The report forecasts there would be 700 jobs in construction and operating gas fields at the peak of a Beetaloo development, and that it may be difficult for local Indigenous people to get those jobs.
"My people never worked in a company like that, in oil rigs, and I think those jobs are not suitable for them,” he said.The report found "conditions are not conducive" to the Basin's majority Indigenous community being able to negotiate strongly to get benefits. That is because communities are isolated and dispersed, and their representative bodies, including Indigenous land councils and bodies like Nurrdalinji, do not have a similar level of resourcing to the gas companies they need to negotiate with.
Fracking is a global disaster
Why don't we get real and acknowledge these Indigenous people do not want such jobs (real or imaginary) from this activity, they just want benefits for no effort (without decreasing their 'sit down' payments). Would save everyone a lot of time, money and worry.
How many will show up if given a job. Let's do that little experiment. You don't go & ask all the employers who HAVE to give Aboriginals a job & HAVE to pay them NOT TO WORK when they don't front to keep quota's on their books. ABC is a disgrace with bias reports auspol AlboMP
How many have the skills to work there?
if they have local indigenous Fitters, Sparkies, Drillers, Shot Firers etc etc etc,,,,they should apply! if they have their heads screwed on right,,,,they will Fight to prevent the gas industry from mining their land at all!
He looks alright and left too
How many will actually apply.. why doesn't the ABC employ them to write snowflake puff stories.
Plenty of jobs for them if they want to work
Phuck all coz most of em can’t even tie their shoelaces 🙄
who cares? We do, but we don't matter.
If an indigenous person from the area has the minimum request skills and meets the requirements of the job they have a better chance than anyone else with the same resume.
I thought they would like to see fracking banned because it would damage the land they are attached to .
'Up to' are weasel words. How many person-years of work per year are projected over the life of the project, by year?
A shit tonne more than if there is no project
How many are qualified?
All that are qualified and want to work.
How many profits will go offshore?
And the locals get a royalty and they also get to claim Centerlink too some are on 90K per year and welfare and they humbug. WTF yup there is a huge disparity like special measures If you identify in the NT you are at the front and picked. very tempted
If you have the skills and the work ethic, you will get the job regardless of race.
How many will show up?
I'm sure the local people will be given every chance for jobs if they are willing to apply.
No more fracking we have too many now!
Why is it assumed people want jobs when sitting around drinking and playing cards pays so well?
If they had any intention of employing traditional owners, training should have started two years ago, or governments should have provided the funds for training two years ago, ‘cos mining company won’t pay for it unless they can reduce their royalty commitments.
Oh, and how many will be qualified? ABC bollocks headline again.
None because they're too lazy and don't want to learn.
So you're demanding they get jobs purely because they are indigenous? Not because of their qualifications? How fucking racist can you get?
You'll be lucky to find 600 jobs, they always lie about job creation from fossil fuel. Always.
That depends, how many would have acquired the skills necessary to support complex engineering while being blackout drunk?
You wonder where the ABC lemmings have been for the past few decades? It's like they have crawled from under a rock and decided to gaslight every indigenous issue they stumble across. Even the wokest know there are numerous Atsi employment agencies about and have been for years.
What’s my cut.
None . Cause they will have to have background skills matching the work. Fracking should be stopped
As many who apply/are qualified
ABC are you obsessed with indigenous people? Whether you like it or not Australia is Multicultural. Indigenous make up 3% of the population. How about some balance?
How many want to work you mean? Love the spin again ABC
How many will apply?
Depends How many will turn up 5 days a week, every week Work hard all day, follow the rules, do as they’re asked and not cause trouble? Oh and pass breathalyser every morning Anyone that does that will have a job for as long as they want
None because they're lazy and want a hand out Not a hand up
Don't you mean how many will go to local PEOPLE?
Do like other countries do what’s the % of indigenous population and that needs to be mandated as to how many are employed in a company say over 50 employees
👇
Minimum if they don't have the education or skill sets.... Which good chance they don't.
The jobs should only go to those who are qualified to do the work. It should not be based on race as to who gets a job. Remember ABC, equality for all.
probably more than the ABC employs
All lies .
Who the fu*k cares who gets the job? Equal opportunity is all that matters.
Depends on how many are qualified. Can always train them up too, if they're interested
Gone are the days when those good ATSIC jobs let people get paid for doing absolutely nothing. Oh wait, there's still the Voice to Parliament.....
Once again ABC you are trying to push the race card. If they are qualified they will get the position.
A tokenistic number
The GasCartel always lies
how many will go to the local Indigenous people? They got the skill then no problem or want to be trained up.
Are they qualified?
How many whites displaced by 4% ABC for natives ?
The drug tests and morning breathalyser will be what stops most getting a job
That depends on them being competent, conscientious and capable. If not then they don’t deserve jobs. You don’t get a job on the basis of race. Unless it’s at the ABC.
That would depend on their skills.
Well how about keep this story alive and report back how many indigenous people apply for these jobs, and how many stay employed for more than a year if they get a job.
... 6,000 jobs ... as long as they are willing to work.
I hope we award jobs on merit.. I’ve a cert4 in oil/gas drilling and an expired IWCF BOP ticket and lost my career because of NSW moratorium on CSG exploration..
Unemployment at all time low why do we need to be fracking at all?
They can apply for the job and if they qualified for the position, they will likely gain employment…
They won't work any way.
How many First Nation people would want their stinking jobs💩💩💩💩
I cannot see any going to them, in the Gas game they need workers who turn up for work on time for every shift.
could be the question of how many will go walkabout after 1 hr of work to never return again
Depends how many are qualified and apply for the job, doesn't it? Let's ditch diversity KPIs.
How many are capable of working there or even would want to ? There are significant differences between racial groups .... and if you get easy gov assistance where is the incentive... that's just reality. Plus why do we need to destroy the environment where they live ?
None because they prefer Centrelink and royalty cheques for doing f’all.
im sure a lot will go to them if they are keen and qualified if they are willing to work hard they SHOULD benefit from employment opportunities created...
The ABC knows nothing about the skills, quals and experience to construct gas infrastructure. It’s not like a job at the ABC where having no skills, quals and experience gets you in.
Are they applying? are they qualified?
How many days a week will they turn up to work? 😂
It's not how many go to them , it's how many will work ? There's jobs out there , they just don't want to work 🙄 I've seen it first hand .... rather do alcohol, glue , petrol
Fracking is evil and destroys the water.
Will the ABC follow through and tell us the result? Or perhaps the ABC is just speculating yet again that Australia is full of 'White Supremacists'.
Gas fracking is great for where aboriginal people live, but not where white people like to raise their horses and play golf. I get it.
How many are qualified for the positions?
If an indigenous person applied for a job on the project they would most certainly be top of the choices. The major companies have affirmative action type quotas for employment of indigenous people.
Nobody can help you if you do not want to be helped.
How many would turn up?
This yet again underscores the vital need for Indigenous people to acquire job skills.
Probably none because they won’t work. Centrelink handouts are more their style
If they apply for the job and are good enough probably 6000
