My question is to the Prime Minister. Is the Prime Minister aware of the case of Jack Zhang, a printing worker from China working on a 457 visa in Victoria, who was forced to pay two fees of $10,000 to buy a job in Australia, who was underpaid by around $400 a week and who was then sacked and evicted as soon as he had paid off his $10,000 fee? Why does the Prime Minister allow this exploitation and why does he persist with this deliberate plan to drive down Australian wages?
