As I said when I was addressing that amendment last night, those of us on this side of the chamber and the Turnbull government firmly believe Australians first. We have always maintained that, when there is an Australian ready, willing and able to undertake a job, they should always be looked to first. But we also believe that, where a business needs to access labour and they are unable to, unlike those on the other side, we are not prepared to stand by and let that business close down.
