Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. What does the minister plan to do to address the problems raised by Dr McDonald? Did the government fail to consider this issue when it axed the requirement for employers to demonstrate a local labour shortage before importing workers on 457 visas? Isn’t the minister’s failure to act now preventing young Australians from taking up employment opportunities in their chosen field?
