Mr Tony Burke (Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Immigration) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Prime Minister. Is the Prime Minister aware that, despite the government’s own conditions of the 457 visa, Mr Fu’s contract, this contract I am holding, with Shanghai Overseas Employment Services states that changing employers is not allowed and that joining a union, becoming pregnant or impregnating others is a breach of contract? Prime Minister, despite the comments about illegality, given 457 visa holders believe their employer has a right to dismiss and a right to deport, are you satisfied that all cases of abuse of the 457 visa are being reported? Is your 457 visa program out of control or is it doing exactly what you want—driving wages and conditions down?
