My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister again to ABC Tissue Products. Is the Prime Minister aware that fundamental workplace safety problems remain at the site, with unskilled foreign workers trying to make power tools fit a socket by stripping the cord and inserting the naked wires straight into the plug, as shown in this photo? Isn’t the real safety issue that this government has allowed 457 skilled visas to be abused by bringing in unskilled foreign workers with little or no English and who cannot follow basic safety instructions?
