My question is also to the Minister representing the Minister for Trade and Investment, Senator Payne. I also refer to the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement and its investment facilitation arrangement provisions, which allow temporary migration to fill jobs on infrastructure projects worth $150 million or more.
