This step aims to address various concerns, including superannuation contributions, visa issues, and family welfare, allowing seasonal workers to engage directly with the Prime Minister.

Rabuka also expresses the government’s gratitude to the seasonal workers across Australia for their remittances and their support for their families back home.

Under the revised Vuvale Partnership, Rabuka outlined broader plans designed to benefit both Fiji and Australia.
