457 visas To Be Scrapped. You Beauty!!!

Malcolm Turnbull to abolish 457 immigration work visas

The Turnbull government has adopted a new "Australians first" approach to skilled migration, announcing it will abolish the controversial 457 visa program for temporary skilled migrants.

The scheme will be replaced by a new temporary visa specifically designed to recruit "the best and brightest", with tougher English language tests and labour market testing requirements.

Announcing it will abolish the controversial 457 visa program for temporary skilled migrants, the Turnbull government has adopted a new "Australians First" approach to skilled migration.

"We are putting jobs first, we are putting Australians first ... we are an immigration nation but the fact remains that Australian workers must have priority for Australian jobs," Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said on Facebook.

    "Australian workers must have priority for Australian jobs, so we are abolishing the 457 visa, the visa that brings temporary foreign workers into our country. We will no longer allow 457 visas to be passports to jobs that could and should go to Australians.

"The 457 visa will be replaced by a new temporary visa specifically designed to recruit the best and brightest in the national interest."

The number of 457 visa holders has fallen to about 45,000 in the past year, well below its peak of over 100,000 issued annually under the former Labor government.




Both sides of politics have promised to tighten the rules around the issuing of 457 visas in recent years and adopted more nationalist postures about the need to protect Australian jobs.

Last week, Opposition Leader Bill Shorten promised a future Labor government would "crack down on dodgy" 457 visas.

Fairfax Media revealed last year that the Turnbull government was contemplating a major overhaul of Australia's visa system.

Mr Turnbull and Immigration Minister Peter Dutton will address the media in Canberra on Tuesday afternoon.

Yeah ... fruit & bean picking, taxi driving, working at 7/11 & Maccas

certainly is a skilled worker niche.  Roll Eyes

It's about time we trained more trade apprentices like we used to ......

instead of pandering to the corrupt exploitation of unskilled migrant workers ......

who of course are all out here studying.  Roll Eyes

Gnads gave you the answer to what this is  all about ballsack.

Gnads- instead of pandering to the corrupt exploitation of unskilled migrant workers ......



That's all this is. It isn't about filling voids. It's about good cheap desperate expendable labour. It's a money maker. You'd think Labor would have scrapped this going on their basic ideals. But no, it was the party you'd think would love slave labour.

Umm, the whole point of 457 visas was that it was nothing to do with unskilled labor.

Or am I just reading this list wrong

I take it you work in employment relations, or for the Department of Immigration then? I mean something must be allowing you to make a clear objective judgement about that situation, apart from say reading Miranda Devine in the Tele or listening to Ray Hadley.
