The Minister for Employment has provided the following answer to the honourable member's question:

Yes.

Rather than the borderline xenophobic approach taken by the former Rudd/Gillard/Rudd Governments, supported by the Honourable Member, towards foreign workers, this Government is focused on creating more job opportunities for Australian workers.

A key example of the Government's job creation agenda is the Free Trade Agreements with Korea, Japan and China finalised by the Coalition Government which will create new export markets for Australian businesses with huge tariff reductions.

I firmly encourage the Honourable Member to support the Government's positive Economic Action Strategy.
