Clive Palmer (through one of his ads) seems to think FIFO airports in the Pilbara are part of a Chinese plot to invade the country. He’s also made statements linking training airports training foreign students to be a part of a similar conspiracy to invade us or “steal our jobs” and that they should be stopped. Not really great news for any pilots or anyone else employed in the flight training or FIFO sectors then if Clive (or Hanson or Anning or any of the other so called “patriot” parties) get any power.
