To be eligible for a 457 visa, one had to have qualifications in a field where there was a shortage of qualified local workers.  Apart from the abuse of the system by employers looking for cheap labour, most of the allegedly qualified workers couldn't pass Australian first year apprentice standards.

So Turnbull is upgrading the skill requirements. Perhaps he plans to use the new visa recipients to replace the 350 researchers with about 3500 years of accumulated experience the Abbott kiboshed from CSIRO a few years ago! all those bad climatologists, socialist scientists, Lamarckists and Darwinists be gone!
