My question is to the Prime Minister. Is the Prime Minister aware of reports in the media today of 457 visa holders signing unfair contracts to obtain the visa? Isn’t it the case that under such a contract Mr Fu, from China, was forced to pay more than $20,000 to his Australian employer and had to arrange his own travel for a $38,000 job? Isn’t it the case that the 457 visa program is out of control, or is it doing exactly what you want: driving down wages and conditions?
