My question is to the Minister representing the Assistant Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, Senator Brandis. In recent months there has been much discussion about the rorting of our 457 visa program, and among them are concerns that 457 visa holders are filling vacancies which otherwise could have been filled by Australians and that many of these people have been exploited by unscrupulous employers. Can the minister outline how many Fair Work claims were made by 457 visa holders in the last financial year and how many claims were upheld?
