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

The minister has now provided two completely contradictory positions: firstly, what the minister has already gazetted, yet he said that that only applied to payments made in Australia. I have just asked a question about payments made overseas, where Australia does have the right, if it chooses to take those payments into account, to refuse the granting of a visa. Is the minister saying that, if there is a debt bondage situation created overseas, that is now grounds to refuse an Australian 457 visa?
