Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[Thryleon]

What's the lowdown on the 457 visa ban, it seems Trump like.

The justification is that Victoria with it's low 457 visa uptake has experienced higher jobs growth than other states. Do the numbers stack up?

Why now? Are there any Korean / North Korean nationals running or owning local agribusinesses and bringing in skilled 457 visa workers?

Agree or disagree, the timing is curious.

Im buggered if I know, but according to a mate of mine, the 457 visa workers are working for minimal cash just to get their foot in the door, and 3/4 of the time have limited ability to do the job.  They then work for companies owned by a local ex pat, and are employed in greater numbers than the average skilled worker.  As a result, they are able to get more shoddy work done, more quickly and more cheaply than the locals who are sticking with skilled people who can do the job to minimise headaches, resulting in lesser throughput.

I for one take any person whinging who can afford to own their own business with a grain of salt, but it sounds like a justifiable reason to review it.

After all, whats the point of offering a 457 visa for unskilled migrants to abuse??
