News Ltd's Courier Mail is today reporting that Queensland recruitment agencies are up in arms over the Queensland Government engaging an interstate recruitment firm to fill lucrative key QLD Governement roles.

Cant understand what the fuss is about. No wonder the QLD Government went with other agencies given that the local ones think they have a god given right to their business on the basis of their location. Its a global world kids - and that includes even you in Queensland.
