This is significant news for Australia
The 457 visa is the most commonly used program for Australian or overseas employers to sponsor skilled overseas workers to work in Australia temporarily.
Xenophobia rockin' it in Australia!
Says the PM:
We're putting jobs first, we're putting Australian's first
Australian workers must have priority for Australian jobs
New visa will replace it
To help Australian' fill skills gaps we'll establish a new training fund
Hmmm - let's see what replaces it ... If nothing then there will have to be a big increase in education in Australia to replace skilled migrants. New training fund ... Yeah, right ....
OK ... now we will see the true cost of John Clarke passing away .... :-(
