There is an interesting story on Pickering Post that you will read if you have any interest at all in your country and what is being done to it (and your fellow Australians) by your so-called government and its Chinese mates.

It is to do with inexperienced, untrained 457 visa workers taking work from trained, experienced Australians in a meat company in Queensland. Read it. I no longer have the patience to detail anything for apathetic OLO moaners and groaners who just sit back and snipe at thinkers and doers who raise subjects for discussion.

457 visa's are an attack on AU workers in times of unemployment. So why are these visas allowed to run as a permanent fixture. Surely they can run , then stop, who opened the gates on 457 visas with no end date.
Something happened a couple of years ago that let a stampede of 457 visas loose.

Yes, it was Bill the Workers' Friend, or his 'workers' party who kicked off the 457 visas, but that is no excuse for Everyone's Enemy, Malcolm Turnbull to continue with them. For what is happening now, Turnbull is 100% to blame.

At lunch, my wife related a story she had heard from a woman who lost her job of many years to a 457 visa parasite. When she complained to the union she was a paid up member of, that 'friend' of the worker told her that it was "just they way of the world". Shortly after that, the bastards had the cheek to send her a membership renewal request!

Doog,

And yes, my "friend", Tony Abbott did not do anything about 457 visas, either.

Interesting to see if the budget changes make a difference or if there are any loopholes in the legislation.

Changes.
From March next year, the levy on foreign workers on certain skilled visas will go towards a new Skilled Australians Fund.

Small business will have to pay $1200 per year for a foreign worker, along with a one-off $3000 payment. Larger businesses would pay $1800 a year per worker, along with a one-off payment of $5000.

This is expected to bring in $1.2 billion over the next four years to go towards training Australian workers.
